spirits company ballantine revealed a prototype of &ldquospace glass&rdquo, that it claims will work in space . this curved plastic glass is supported by a weighted rose gold base. this rose gold base unlike other metals, won&39t affect the liquor&39s taste. the receptacle includes 3dprinted plastic and this gold sections, with a design that holds the liquid at the bottom of the glass. the whisky is pushed down to the bottom of the glass by convex base, which then spirals its way up the glass through a small glass tube around the edge, before reaching a rose gold mouthpiece that will help give the sense of a cold drink. company have also taken care of pouring problems, using an extremely strong set of magnets to connect the glass with a special nozzle that uses a oneway valve. the magnets can also help the glass dock to other metallic surfaces like walls. the design will be reproduced using 3d printing. the company is still working on a release date for the glass, which has to pass food and safety regulations before it can be sold. in the meantime, the company is working on perfecting a whisky blend fit for space, where taste buds change, like they do during air travel. &ldquowe are using inertia and the notion that the whisky will stay at rest while the bottle and the glass is moved around the resting liquid,&rdquo said james parr from the open space agency, which designed the glass.
