For those who can’t quite afford a Virgin Galactic trip to space ($250,000), but still have $125,000 and want to visit the edge of space? There’s Spaceship Neptune from Space Perspective. Think of it as a luxurious capsule that comfortably transports eight passengers and a pilot. Featuring ergonomic seats, a drink bar, full bathroom and large windows that let you take in the amazing views.
Passengers will lift off from the now defunct Shuttle Landing Facility at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center (KSC) on Florida’s Space Coast. The entire trip will take around six hours: two hours reaching maximum altitude of 100,000-feet, two hours in the stratosphere and two hours descending for an ocean landing. Test flights are set to begin next year.
