Pack Your Space Gear. A few months ago, I had the
opportunity to meet a new adventure travel partner at a
national travel conference. I can’t tell you the excitement
they had generated. Imagine, for the first time, space
travel being actually obtainable as a travel destination!
Never before has space exploration been available to
the general public. Space Perspective is the world’s first
luxury and zero-emissions spaceflight company looking
to offer tickets to the edge of space for adventure seekers,
space explorers, or that someone who just wants to do
the extraordinary.
Now you have an opportunity to view the most
incredible scene of Earth from the comfort of a state-
of-the-art space balloon. See the deep blue seas of the
Caribbean, the sheer scale of the Nile Delta, the summit
of Mt. Everest, and the southern peninsula of the Antarctic
from 100,000 feet above the atmosphere.
The Space Experience. Your space journey begins at
the Kennedy Space Center prior to the six-hour expedition
into the outer limits of Earth. Here you’ll settle into your
accommodations, receive a tour of the facilities, and get
your astronaut-like briefing that covers what you need to
know about space and safety. There will also be time for
an exclusive tour of the Space Center, as well as time to
meet the Space Perspective team.
The good news is, there is no advanced training or
bulky space suits necessary. Your experience will be
in total luxury! And just wait until you hear about the
amenities aboard your spaceship.
Upon takeoff, you will spend two hours ascending into
space. For the next two hours of the journey you will
be sitting at 100,000 feet in the air, above 99 percent of
Earth’s atmosphere. Here is where the exploring takes
place. You will be taken on a journey just on the edge of
space, something that only about 600 people in history
can say they have experienced.
Inside Your Spaceship–Neptune. The Spaceship
Neptune capsule can accommodate a pilot and eight
passengers. The spacecraft will feature luxurious
reclining seats, a cocktail bar, a bathroom and 360-degree
huge windows that will allow for great views of Earth
against the blackness of space. And you have Wi-Fi to
share your experience with your loved ones back on
Earth!
If you’re wondering … Spaceship Neptune is propelled
by renewable hydrogen, which does not leave a carbon
footprint, making it one of the most sustainable options
for space exploration. The space balloon is also easily
accessible and ascends the atmosphere at a slow rise of
