    Space Perspective Reveals World’s Initial Space Lounge

    In a recent announcement, Space Perspective, the top space travel experience company on Earth, is introducing a one-of-a-kind Space Lounge™ interior within their Spaceship Neptune. This patented and customizable space lounge aims to deepen the understanding and connectedness of humanity with planet Earth.

    Spaceship Neptune offers a unique approach to space travel that is carbon neutral and emissions-free. Safety, breathtaking views, and interaction among Space Explorers are the core elements of its innovative design. Sustainable materials are integrated throughout the space capsule, including a bar made from recycled materials unique to the SpaceBalloon™ that is attached to the capsule. The capsule features patented 360-degree panoramic windows, the largest ever to be flown to space, offering unparalleled views even from the restroom.

    The experience offered by Space Perspective in space tourism is far beyond traditional rocket-powered expeditions. The climate-controlled, pressurized capsule ascends elegantly with a state-of-the-art SpaceBalloon, allowing passengers to glide safely at the edge of space for two hours. The journey begins at dawn, allowing guests to witness the sunrise as they ascend to 100,000 ft. The gentle two-hour descent concludes with a splashdown in the ocean, where passengers, the capsule, and the SpaceBalloon are retrieved by a ship. The interior of the capsule is thoughtfully designed to enhance the views while ascending smoothly at a cruise speed of 12mph.

    Jane Poynter, the Founder, Co-CEO, and Chief Experience Officer of Space Perspective, states, “Our goal is to inspire Space Explorers to form a stronger connection with our planet and with each other. The environment in which they travel with us plays a crucial role in achieving this goal. Our Space Lounge offers a luxurious and unique experience compared to the basic and utilitarian spacecraft interiors found elsewhere.”

    Notably, the company has appointed hospitality and entertainment entrepreneur David Grutman as the Experience Curator to enhance the overall experience for Space Explorers, from their arrival at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center to the in-flight and post-landing experience.

    The capsule boasts a nearly seamless 360-degree panoramic view, along with a well-thought-out interior layout, allowing for a comfortable and safe experience in the Space Lounge. Renderings and an interactive video walk-through showcasing the intricate details of the Space Lounge have been released, including bespoke drink glasses and a specially crafted dessert.

    Additional features of the capsule include:

    •Comfortable reclining seats that can be adjusted for a more intimate dining experience or special events

    •Use of lightweight, dark, and sustainable materials to reduce glare

    •Bar service with a countertop made from recycled SpaceBalloon materials

    •A spacious center for group activities and easy maneuverability

    •Customizable lighting and other amenities to enhance the journey experience

    •Telescope, interactive screens, and tasteful decorations to engage Space Explorers during the flight

    •Luxurious restroom with large windows for uninterrupted views

    Commercial flights are scheduled to commence in late 2024, with 600 tickets already sold. Reservations for 2025 onwards are now open, with tickets priced at $125,000 per person and a refundable deposit starting at $1,000. Whole capsules can also be reserved for up to eight guests and a pilot. All human spaceflight operations by Space Perspective are regulated by the FAA Office of Commercial Spaceflight.
