As we continue experimenting with the physics and design attributes, we are excited to see what will happen next,\u201d Nick says.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis 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.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Support the Kickstarter!<\/strong><br \/>\nCosmic Lifestyle Corporation has launched their Zero Gravity Cocktail Glass Project Kickstarter campaign March 3.
