🚀 Space Perspective, a Florida-based startup, is redefining space tourism with its luxury spacecraft, Neptune. This isn't your typical rocket ride. Neptune offers a six-hour journey to the edge of the stratosphere, carried by a massive balloon.
🎈 The test capsule, Excelsior, is fully functional and promises a smoother ride than its rocket-powered competitors. Onboard, passengers can expect WiFi, a cocktail bar, and even a toilet.
🌍 "If you can get on a commercial airplane, you can get on Spaceship Neptune," says co-founder Jane Poynter. This opens up space tourism to those who may not feel comfortable or able to take a rocket ride.
🎟️ With commercial flights expected to start in 2025, the $125,000 ticket promises an extraordinary experience of seeing Earth from space.
