The design firm hoping to profit from space tourism

Space suit creator Final Frontier Design is hoping its profits will rocket with the growth of commercial space travel.

Currently based in a small studio in Brooklyn, New York, company founders Ted Southern and Nikolay Moiseev are wishing for a future slice of the $1.4bn investment in space tourism.

Mr Southern told the BBC: "A lot of the rocket companies are hoping to fly 2014, 2015, 2016 - years out... It's been a challenge, for that reason, finding funding, finding partners, finding customers."
