Siemens Startups Program: from idea to market leader with the right tools<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Meet the world\u2019s first luxury spaceflight experience company, Space Perspective. Have you ever wanted to travel to space but worry you don\u2019t have the experience or don\u2019t want to take off in a rocket? Well at Space Perspective, they want to send everyday people to space in a hot air balloon\u2026kind of.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Their advanced spaceballoon is designed to operate in space where Spaceship Neptune flies. The size of a football stadium, the spaceballoon gently flies the capsule for ascent and descent. Your six-hour voyage on Spaceship Neptune, a pressurized, roomy capsule is safe, comfortable, and as simple as boarding an airplane. Drinks are included in the flight too! Launching from NASA\u2019s Kennedy Space Center and flown gently by a spaceballoon, a ride on the zero-emissions Spaceship Neptune offers the thrill of space and the comfort of calm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Taber MacCallum and Jane Poynter, two out of the eight scientists who lived for two years inside the Biosphere 2 dome, co-founded Florida-based Space Perspective in 2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n “The fundamental idea behind Space Perspective is to give the quintessential astronaut experience to as many people as possible. So, if you talk with astronauts about the quintessential experience, you’ll never hear them say, “Oh, it’s the rocket ride,” or \u201cIt’s the high-speed, hypersonic re-entry.” You don’t even hear much about microgravity and floating around \u2013 it sort of becomes characterized as a pain. What you hear is, “Oh, I would spend every minute I possibly could looking out the window, looking at the earth in the context of space, and ideas like the one human family, and all of us on this small planet together, and the scale of the planet,” says MacCallum.<\/a>Space Travel by Balloon<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
