Relatively affordable, luxurious space tourism is around the corner. 🤔
Florida-based Space Perspectives, a startup that wants to ferry passengers to the edge of Earth's atmosphere has unveiled the interiors of the capsule and the onboard amenities one can expect during the trip. and an admirable thing apart from their promise to take you miles above the ground is that there have been no fare hikes that could possibly burn a bigger hole in your pocket.
One could debate whether this is actually a space trip, given that the altitude is still way below the Karman Line, the bone of contention between Virgin Galactic and Blue Origin last year. However, unlike the 'eight minutes of space' trips offered by these billionaire-backed companies, a trip on a Space Perspective balloon is less demanding both physically and monetarily.
However, on Spaceship Neptune, the name given by the company to its luxury capsule, you will find mood lighting and a soundtrack to more your journey more leisurely. The pressurized cabin comes with reclining seats from where you can enjoy 360-degree views and just in case, you want to look closely at a star or a planet, there is also a handy telescope.
To bring you back to Earth, the pilot will begin releasing the hydrogen slowly from the balloon. A parachute system, used by space agencies to protect precious cargo, can jump in if the rate of descent increases rapidly. Once on the ground, the capsule will be used again while hydrogen made from renewable sources will be used to power the next flight. Space Perspectives claims that its"spaceflight" is carbon neutral.
