The Initiative That Will Make Weddings Possible In Space
Space Research Company,
World View Enterprises will make people travel in space with a hot air
balloon-like spaceship called Spaceship Neptune.
Space tourism, which
many companies have been working on in recent years, will enable people to
travel to space in the future.
For example, high-speed
orbital flight packages introduced by companies such as Virgin Galactic and
Blue Origin will enable people to approach the Earth's atmosphere much more comfortably.
Last Thursday; space
research company, World View Enterprises announced its new venture called
Space Perspective. With this initiative, Spaceship Neptune a hot air
balloon-like spaceship capable of carrying 8 passengers at a time was
introduced.
Spaceship Neptune will
carry people to the stratosphere layer for 6 hours in the next
three to four years.
Customers who pay according
to the company's plans will board specially designed cabins, which includes a
bar and a bathroom.
The cabin will be aired
with a 200-meter-high hydrogen-filled balloon. The balloon will gradually
rise to a height of 30 kilometers for two hours and will remain at the
specified height for 2 hours.
Then the spaceship will
begin to descend and land on the rescue ship waiting in the Atlantic
Ocean.
The flight, which will take
6 hours in total, will also host various organizations.
"One of the most remarkable features of the passenger cabins we have designed is that it will host various weddings, events and corporate organizations."
Said Taber MacCallum,
founder and CEO of Space Perspective.
Getting into the Spaceship
Neptune spaceship will be much cheaper than other space travels. Although
this travel price has not been determined yet, the founders of the company say
the price of the trip will be around 125 thousand dollars per person. This
price is almost half of the travel prices announced by other space companies.
The company behind the
project, World View Enterprises, has already signed an agreement with NASA for
future space travel. The company plans to rent a facility at the
Kennedy Space Center in Orlando and plan test flights next year.
The first manned flight
trials are expected in 2023 or 2024.
