Dear MEL Topic Readers,
On sale: $125,000 balloon trips to the edge of space
Space tourism is coming to reality, and you are going to have choices as to how to get to space. Space X by Elon Musk, Blue Origin by Jeff Bezos, and Virgin Galactic by Richard Branson, all offer a short-time stay in space in a rocket. Passengers will feel a strong G-force to and from space, which will probably be regarded as part of the excitement of the tour. On the contrary to these quick, exciting, and trembling tours, there is now a slow and easy-going space tour that is scheduled to be launched in 2024. It’s a space version of a hot air balloon that carries up to eight passengers and a pilot in a pressurized capsule. In the cabin, the passengers will be able to enjoy 360-degree views with drinks and Internet access for six hours, including a two-hour gentle ascent to 100,000 feet, two hours above the edge of the Earth’s atmosphere, and the last two hours for a smooth descent to the ocean. No space suits or masks required. The price tag? USD125,000. Considering the view, experience, and luxury, the ticket price may not be so outrageous to some people.
By the way, will space tourists need to go through customs and immigration?
Enjoy reading the article and learn about this casual balloon trip to space.
