Why It’s Lit
Because effortlessly floating to the edge of Earth and savouring 6 hours of interstellar heaven sounds so much more fetching than thrusting out quickly from a phallic-shaped vehicle at high speeds.
Believe It Or Not
Space Perspective is offering space tourism without the turbulence, using a massive balloon to take passengers 30 kilometres above Earth for a smooth, scenic six-hour trip in an ultra-luxurious capsule.
Think of it as a floating penthouse with a million-dollar view.
The Spaceship Neptune comes fully loaded with plush seats, a bar, mood lighting, and Wi-Fi—so you can update your Instagram with the ultimate travel flex.
But let’s be honest: it’s not really space.
At 30 km up, you won’t experience zero gravity or see Earth from orbit.
And with a ticket price of $125,000, it’s far from an economy-class adventure.
Still, compared to being strapped to a rocket and enduring high-G forces, this is the comfiest way to reach new heights.
Founded in 2019 by Jane Poynter and Taber MacCallum, Space Perspective is based in Florida, where it’s redefining space travel with a focus on comfort, sustainability, and exclusivity.
It might not be the final frontier, but it sure is one hell of a window seat.

Drop This Fact
There are more stars in space than there are grains of sand on Earth. Scientists know the universe extends beyond our galaxy, the Milky Way and estimate the universe has about 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 stars, or a septillion.
As per grains of sand on Earth, the estimated total from researchers at the University of Hawaii is around seven quintillion, five hundred quadrillion grains.
