\n Ever wanted to travel<\/a> to the edge of space but don\u2019t trust explosive rocket technology<\/a>? Well, you\u2019re in luck! A new startup called Space Perspective wants to take (a lot) your money and send you toward the stars in a big ole\u2019 balloon. Designed to be an alternative to the fledgling rocket-based space tourism industry, the company\u2019s \u201cSpaceship Neptune\u201d capsules will be packed with paying customers and then carried aloft to a height of app<\/a>roximately 100,000 feet.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s just one of several entries into the burgeoning space tourism industry, but whether the startup can pull off what it\u2019s promising is anyone\u2019s guess.<\/p>\n

According to the company, the trip to space (well, technically the edge of space), will be relatively brief. Two hours will be spent ascending to the intended altitude and then another two hours will be spent returning to Earth. A window of two hours in between ascent and descent will offer travelers some truly breathtaking views of their home planet.<\/p>\n

When the trip is over the capsule will come to rest in the Atlantic Ocean and passengers will be picked up by a ship of some kind and then brought back to shore. It all sounds a little bit odd but then again there\u2019s really no rules when it comes to space tourism\u2026 at least not yet.<\/p>\n

So, how much will the privilege of not even really making it to space set you back? A mere $125,000 per person. Okay, so it\u2019s not cheap, but it will be a one-of-a-kind experience in an aircraft that doesn\u2019t have to \u201cblast off\u201d from anywhere. The balloons will be deployed from Kennedy Space Center, according to the startup, but they\u2019re still working out the details and finding their way through the FAA\u2019s red tape.<\/p>\n

Space Perspective is hardly the only company vying for a slice of the space tourism pie. Blue Origin and SpaceX, among others, have already announced plans to send paying customers into space for brief trips that will cost a whole heck of a lot of cash. In some cases, tickets have already been pre-sold for flights that might not take place for several more years, if they take place at all.<\/p>\n

It probably goes without saying, but space tourism will cater to the super-rich, at least for now. Sending things to space is expensive and raking in a sizable return on the initial investment of rockets (or space balloons) means charging very high prices. At least the rest of us will get to see some pretty cool Instagram selfies, right?\n <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
