First the book…then the movie!
Just coming off that post-Thanksgiving spin?
Think about off-Earth alcohol consumption in space.
Yes, even in space you can hear the sound of a swizzle stick!
On October 11th, the Alcohol in Space movie had its premiere at the Explorers Club in New York City to a standing-room-only audience. Based on the book authored by Chris Carberry, Culture in Space Productions (CiSP) has released its first full-length documentary film now available on Amazon Prime.
Attending the Explorers Club premiere was Greg Olsen, the 3rd private civilian in space, a self-funded rocket sojourn in October 2005 to the International Space Station via a Russian Soyuz.
“The increased population of both non-orbital and orbital flyers will make this an ongoing experiment since many of them will have no crew duties and would be free to sample a drink or two,” Olsen explains. “Alcohol in Space is an interesting movie that discusses not only the possibility of it having already been used in space, but also what the effects of weightlessness might be on people who would consume it.”
The film features Kim Stanley Robinson (Novelist, Futurist), Jeffrey Manber (Founder and Chairman, Nanoracks), Samuel Coniglio (Space Futurist; Author, Creature Comforts in Space), Joe Cassady (Executive Vice President, Explore Mars; Space propulsion professional), as well as distilling and brewing specialists.
The film is directed by the creative Sam Burbank of Culture in Space Productions (CiSP). Next up is a movie based on Carberry’s book, The Music of Space: Scoring the Cosmos in Film and Television currently in preproduction.
Alcohol in Space is the first CiSP film that focuses on the expansion of human culture in space. CiSP has been established to tell the stories of the next wave of astronauts, innovators, and dreamers pushing to expand human culture into space.
As noted in a CiSP media statement, Alcohol in Space is the first of many films that will examine the expansion of human culture in space. CiSP will tell the stories of the next wave of astronauts, innovators, and dreamers pushing to expand human culture into space.
“While rockets and spaceships are essential to get there, a viable human civilization beyond Earth will require all human culture. This includes art, labor, literature, culinary arts, friendships, families, and of course a healthy dose of ‘sex, drugs, and rock and roll.’”
The release of the full-length documentary film, Alcohol in Space, is available on Amazon Prime. For more information, go to:

No, there is no sound in space because space is essentially a vacuum, meaning there are no particles for sound waves to travel through, so sound cannot propagate in that environment; if you were to scream in space, no one could hear you.
No swizzles, no laughter, no booms.
Of course within a pressurized habitat you’ll hear those swizzle sticks making swizzle sounds!
