Award Winning Robotics Engineer Launches Cocktail Glass for Space

What happens when you combine an an award-winning mixologist, Hollywood prop fabricator and movie magic maker, and a space tourism designer with an award winning robotics engineer? Creative genius at it’s best.

Nick Donaldson, Chief Creative Officer and cofounder of Cosmic Lifestyle Corporation, is the secret sauce behind the Zero Gravity Cocktail Glass Project currently on Kickstarter. Launched March 3, the eclectic and impressive team is designing for the future of space travel and tourism.

“Designing and engineering the elements needed for items going to space is more interestingly challenging than one might think. Many conversations and experiments over the course of several years have happened to achieve the glass design we have. As we continue experimenting with the physics and design attributes, we are excited to see what will happen next,” Nick says.

“This is only the beginning of a new era where astronauts will have more comfortable surroundings available with solutions like ours. Cosmic Lifestyle Corporation seeks to be a leader in these opportunities.”

In an attempt to bridge the gap between the space tourism vision and mainstream reality, the team at Cosmic Lifestyle Corporation created a fun, usable object to show that space tourism is not an abstract concept, but a stepping stone for improving the way people live, work, and play beyond planet Earth. This project is supported by the Space Tourism Society and Space Frontier Foundation. Space Frontier Foundation is offering a free membership to those who donate $25 or more to the Kickstarter campaign.
