Space Perspective showed the ship "Neptune" for short tourist flights
Miscellaneous / / April 22, 2022
With panoramic windows, a bar and neon lights.
Space Perspective showed what its future spacecraft Neptune will look like. This is a capsule supported by a giant balloon in which several passengers can take a six-hour flight into space.
Thanks to the use of SpaceBalloon technology (the same balloon), Space Perspective managed to reduce its carbon footprint and make such travel environmentally friendly. During the flight, tourists will not sit in a small capsule, but in a comfortable rest room with comfortable armchairs where you can sit, sip champagne and look at the Earth through huge panoramic window.
The details of the journey are adjusted to the tourists: the creators offer to coordinate the menu and bar list, music and lighting to make the experience personal and unforgettable. Cameras inside will capture the event, and thanks to Wi-Fi, it will be possible to share what is happening without waiting for the return to Earth. You don’t have to worry about the toilet either: it is on board.
Flights won't start until 2024, but the first images of the capsule give an idea of what the journey will be like. Considering the cost of tickets, this is the closest view of the ship for most people. There is even a 3D version on the official website that you can twist and study in detail.
For a 6-hour flight on such a ship, you will have to pay 125 thousand dollars - three times cheaper than the offer from Virgin Galactic, which asks for 450 thousand dollars for a 90-minute flight.
