Space Perspective wants to take tourists on balloon rides to the stratosphere
However, Zephalto hopes to set itself apart from competitors by offering its near-space farers the luxury of fine French cuisine as a part of their journey. Alongside the VIP amenities that accompany a ticket price over a hundred thousand dollars, Zephalto plans to offer a Michelin-star caliber dining experience with a window-seat view of the cosmos.
The flight itself will take a total of six hours, consisting of an hour and a half ascent, three hours for wining, dining and sightseeing, and another hour and a half for your descent back to Earth."We choose 25 kilometers high because it's the altitude where you are in the darkness of space, with 98% of the atmosphere below you, so you can enjoy the curvature of the Earth in the blue line.
So far, the company has flown three piloted test flights of its stratospheric balloon, though none yet as high as the altitude it will take regular passengers. The company must first gain EASA certification as a commercial airliner. Once in operation, Zephalto is aiming for up to 60 flights a year.
