TaylorSwift 162,283 Posted June 23, 2021 Share Posted June 23, 2021 Space Perspective, the company that plans to offer balloon rides to space from Kennedy Space Center, is now accepting reservations from the public to fly in 2024. At $125,000 a ticket, that price could be considered a deal compared to other suborbital options like Virgin Galactic’s 90 minute space flight for $250,000, but there are some big differences between the experiences. Instead of blasting off with the help of a rocket engine, Space Perspective is offering travelers a relaxed ascent to space on a 6 hour trip promising amazing views of Earth in a luxury environment that includes plush reclining seats, a stocked bar and bathroom. Riding to space in a giant balloon doesn’t require training or a spacesuit either, you could also wear anything you want. “We’ve got families that want to go together. We’ve got couples that want to propose or have their wedding. It’s accessible to life events,” co-CEO and founder Taber MaCallum said. source https://www.spaceperspective.com/spaceship-neptune https://store.taylorswift.com Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

HuffsAhoy 7,433 Posted June 23, 2021 Share Posted June 23, 2021 That's a pass from me. Hot air balloon accidents are too frequent for me to every entertain getting in one, let alone one that goes to the Stratosphere You remind me that it's such a wonderful thing to love.

In the United States, there are approximately 20 accidents per year. When these accidents occur, it is common for multiple parties to suffer injuries in the crash. However, fatalities are rare. I'd still go tbh Whimsical bitch Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
