Vallejo's Own Retro-Futurist Samuel M. Coniglio, author of "Creature Comforts" in Space Sept 20

We are delighted to welcome Samuel M. Coniglio to the shop on September 20th at 4:30 pm to discuss his new book, "Creature Comforts in Space" -- it's going to be out of this world!

Samuel Coniglio is a Vallejo resident, Obtanium Works veteran, book author, space futurist, father, technical writer, photographer, inventor, and private space industry advocate. He is a board member and former Vice President of the Space Tourism Society. Since 1996, he has been researching and prototyping domestic concepts to make life easier in space. His Zero Gravity Cocktail Glass concept won international acclaim and re-invents how to drink liquids in microgravity. In the 1990’s, Samuel worked for McDonnell Douglas (now Boeing) on the Space Shuttle, International Space Station, and the historic Delta Clipper Experimental (DC-X) reusable rocket program. In 2004, he helped run logistics for the XPRIZE Team film crew during the SpaceShipOne flights. He is involved with the National Space Society, Space Frontier Foundation, and Yuri’s Night. Samuel’s new book, “Creature Comforts in Space,” is a guide for designers to create an enjoyable and sustainable off-world lifestyle for humans onboard the next generation space stations.

Creature Comforts in Space tackles the challenge of those hard-to-describe things that make life more enjoyable, have mental health benefits, and are fun! Using the analogy of building a homestead on the high frontier, early space settlers need to develop long term sustainability techniques with limited resources. This book isn't just about making life better beyond our planet; it's a blueprint for enhancing life on Earth through thoughtful, space-inspired design.

Perfect for space, science, Maker-Faire (and even Star Trek!) fans, join us for a far out, fun time!
