Space Perspective's slow trip into the firmament lasts six hours, compared to eleven minutes on other commercial space flights.

initially planned to charge $250,000 for its first flights, but that number is expected to rise, while the third astronaut joining Jeff and Mark Bezos aboard the maiden July 2020 commercial Blue Origin flight paid $28 million for the seat.Courtesy Space Perspective

The balloon doesn’t go nearly as high as the other aircraft and technically not into space. It floats up to 100,000 feet, or about 19 miles, compared to the others which briefly cross the Kármán Line 62 miles above the earth. Researchers and scientists consider the Kármán Line the divider between Earth’s atmosphere and space. There, the tourist astronauts will experience weightlessness for several minutes, something that doesn’t happen on Space Perspective’s space balloon.

Neptune One’s recent sunrise flight revealed an exceptional view of the boundaries between Earth and space. The space balloon and capsule will have a pilot, but can be controlled remotely. It will land in the water, with a ship on hand to collect the passengers. The capsule will be used for multiple flights, while the balloon can only be used once.
