The company Space Perspective has scheduled for early 2021 the first test of balloon travel 30 kilometers above Earth. Space tourism continues to rise.
Gather eight friends each paying $ 125,000. They buy the tickets at Space Perspective and they can travel to the stratosphere.
The era of Space tourism is just beginning, and offers situations like the one posed. An ascent 30 kilometers from Earth for two hours, to then travel for two more hours throughout the area.
You can even send material from the ship, called Neptune, because it will have wifi.
The first test will be in 2021
This will be from 2021, after the company Space Perspective carries out the first test without tourists, but with crew.
The departure will be from NASA’s Kennedy Space Center and will travel east over the Atlantic during the winter. In the summer, it will be west over the Gulf of Mexico.
Seasonal changes are due to changes in winds.
The price of $ 125,000 per ticket is not yet official, but it is an estimate.
Low-cost flights to space
Space Perspective is not the first company to offer space travel, but it is the one that would do so at a lower cost.
Space Ship Two by Virgin Galactic, in conjunction with SpaceX and Blue Origin, is the other that would be making the trips.
