Spaceship Neptune Will Provide Luxury Space Experience

Travel adventurers can now reserve a seat on Spaceship Neptune, which will offer 360-degree views of planet Earth from 20 miles above in a luxurious six-hour trip. Up to eight guests can enjoy a beautifully appointed capsule, complete with a bar and a bathroom.

The concept for Spaceship Neptune is being developed by Space Perspective by applying flight technology used extensively by NASA for many years. Jane Poynter and Taber MacCallum, the husband-and-wife team behind Space Perspective, say they are on a mission to invite more people - including scientists and artists - to ride the wave of space history and be transformed by seeing our beautiful Earth from space.

The couple has been responsible for some of the most remarkable breakthroughs in space innovation and exploration in the last 20 years: perfecting technologies seen on the International Space Station, acting as technical advisors in human spaceflight to Elon Musk pre-SpaceX, and Google executive Alan Eustace's world record for human spaceflight - 136,000 ft propelled by a space balloon in 2014.

Spaceship Neptune does not use rocket propulsion or expose passengers to g-force acceleration. This experience invites a profoundly different perspective through atmospheric layers, framed by the thin blue line below and the blackness of space above, according to the company.

Space Perspective is the first space launch operator to fly from Space Coast Air and Spaceport, located adjacent to NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida. The Neptune One inaugural Test Flight kicks off an extensive testing program that makes Spaceship Neptune an extremely safe way to go to space. Space Perspective ensures safety by applying flight technology used for decades by NASA and global government entities, supported by a world class, hand-picked crew integral to all human space balloon flights for the last 50 years.

Each flight will be personally curated with end-to-end experiences, from meeting Hall of Fame astronauts to taking nuptials to new heights. Reservations are available now for flights expected to begin in late 2024. The cost per passenger is set at $125,000.
