The Future. A new space startup plans to take guests on a six-hour balloon trip to 100,000 feet to enjoy a gourmet tasting menu in the stratosphere. With another company, France-based Zephalto, also planning similar trips, the next space race may be rooted in hospitality.
Served in the stratosphereSpaceVIP hopes to make date night out of this world.
Six guests at a time will be able to watch the sun rise over the curvature of the Earth… and have WiFi to show it off.
The company has hired Michelin-starred chef Rasmus Munk (he runs Alchemist, which ranks #5 on the World’s Best 50 Restaurants) to create an innovative dinner menu for the trip.
Trips aboard the Space Perspectives-built spacecraft (with balloons developed by NASA) will start next year, and the company says reservations are already booking up.
That’s pretty wild when tickets run $500,000 a pop.
