EXPLORATION PARK, Fla., April 24, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Zero Gravity Corporation (Zero-G), in partnership with FUTURE of SPACE, commemorated World Penguin Day on April 25 by sending 275 plush penguins into a zero gravity environment, elevating the celebration of this special day to new heights. Each plush toy, dubbed "Astro-Penguin", was equipped with an individual boarding pass and will receive a special certificate verifying its zero gravity flight experience.
Kevin Sproge, CEO of Zero-G, shared his enthusiasm for the initiative, "This unique celebration not only honors World Penguin Day but also exemplifies our commitment to making space both accessible and enjoyable. These plush penguins serve as delightful ambassadors in our ongoing mission to fuse the thrill of space exploration with meaningful, educational experiences."
The event is part of a larger initiative that includes the extraordinary Space2Sea Voyage to Antarctica, aimed at increasing awareness and appreciation for the natural habitat of penguins. Following their zero gravity adventure, the plush penguins will be gifted to all guests on the upcoming Space2Sea Antarctica Journey, taking place December 19-29, 2024. This curated expedition will feature insights from luminaries such as William Shatner, Scott Kelly, and Neil deGrasse Tyson, making it a legendary voyage.
