A Florida company is planning to fly passengers to the edge of space in a high-tech version of a hot air balloon, with a pilot and up to eight travelers riding in a pressurized capsule suspended from an enormous blimp.
Human space flight company Space Perspective has scheduled the test flight of its Spaceship Neptune for early 2021, from the Shuttle Landing Facility at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida.
The six-hour trips will involve a two-hour gentle ascent above 99% of the Earth's atmosphere to 100,000 feet, and another leisurely two hours for passengers to enjoy the 360-degree views from the cabin before the spaceship makes its two-hour descent to the ocean, where it will splash down safely. Passengers can expect to pay around $125,000 for a ticket.
