Space Perspective, a company headquartered in Florida, is ready to transform the realm of science fiction into reality with its opulent space capsule boasting unparalleled amenities. This capsule is designed to transport individuals to the brink of space, catering exclusively to the ultra-wealthy. Unlike traditional rocket flights, this innovative capsule utilizes a space balloon for its journey.
Price of Space Balloon and amenities
As per a report from The Sun, the sumptuous space capsule will elevate travelers to an altitude of 100,000 feet above Earth using a massive balloon. This extraordinary journey comes with a hefty price tag of $125,000 per passenger. With accommodation for eight passengers, the capsule boasts nine supremely comfortable reclining seats and offers access to lavish amenities throughout the entire journey. The space lounge features Wi-Fi, gourmet dining, state-of-the-art sound systems, a fully stocked bar, and more, reminiscent of scenes straight out of the movies.
It is reported that the passengers will revel in expansive panoramic vistas through the largest windows ever flown to space. Additionally, they will luxuriate in the comfort of a “proper restroom,” known as the Space Spa.
Space Perspective stated, “With the largest windows ever flown to space and a spherical design facilitating the most spacious interior of any human spaceflight capsule ever made, our spaceship provides the most breathtaking panoramic views of Earth.”
The space capsule reportedly measures 16 feet in diameter, while the accompanying space balloon is expected to be twice the size of the capsule. Moreover, the capsule will be equipped with telescopic cameras, allowing passengers to closely observe Earth. The inaugural test capsule, named Spaceship Neptune – Excelsior, pays tribute to the late balloon space-jump pioneer Joe Kittinger.
