Matterware was my senior capstone project in 2014 at the University of Cincinnati. I came up with the idea of ‘fine dining in space’: I wanted know what would happen when Space Tourism became more regular. If you’re paying astronomical amounts of money to go to space, the dining experience should match. Working closely with a professor at my school who used to work at NASA, I developed concepts around food “containers”, a space station, and what the dining experience should be in microgravity.
