In June 28, a space travel rendering released by the US space perspective company, the company recently launched a $125,000 ticket booking for “space balloon” tour. It is said that the “Neptune” spacecraft will take off from the Space Coast Aerospace port near Kennedy Space Center as soon as 2024, bringing up to eight passengers to an altitude of 30,000 meters and immersing them in space for two hours. Driven by a hydrogen filled space balloon which with the size of a football field, the company said passengers will take a six hours luxury tour in a box equipped with reclining seats, panoramic French windows, bars, bathrooms and other amenities to enjoy 360 degrees of the earth’s landscape. The first test flight is scheduled for next year. I think it is quite attractive for the people who are curious and willing to try new things.
