Space Perspective plans to send travelers into space on a unique spacecraft that is propelled by the company’s SpaceBalloon. Eight passengers and a pilot are steadily lifted 100,000 feet above the Earth by the balloon at 12 mph.
Each journey lasts six hours. The Space Lounge, as the spacecraft’s interior is styled, includes 360-degree views, a bar, interactive screens, WiFi and a bathroom.
Seats are $125,000 per person.
Over the summer, Internova Travel Group’s luxury arm, Global Travel Collection, announced it had seats to sell on three spaceflights.
