NEW YORK, June 23, 2021 /PRNewswire=KYODO JBN/ --

- Neptune One spaceship test launch in Florida showcases dazzling views from

space and heralds the opportunity to reserve your seat now for 2024

Introducing a new era in luxury travel experiences: Space Perspective is the

world's most radically gentle voyage to space. Travel adventurers can now

reserve a seat on Spaceship Neptune and savor 360-degree views of planet Earth

from 20 miles/30 km above in a luxurious six-hour trip. Up to eight guests can

enjoy a beautifully appointed capsule, complete with a bar and a bathroom, for

$125,000 each.

The brainchild of space travel experts Jane Poynter and Taber MacCallum, Space

Perspective wants more people to experience the life-changing views from space

that to date have only been accessible to astronauts — making it possible by

applying flight technology used extensively by NASA for many years.

This transformative opportunity, taking reservations now for flights as soon as

late 2024, extends the possibility of exploring space to a wider audience than

has historically been possible. The space curious who would have considered it

too risky or expensive can now experience the exhilaration of traveling to

space with a safe and gentle ascent. The ground-breaking pressurized Spaceship

Neptune gently lifts passengers to space to be immersed in breath-taking views

of the curvature of Earth.

History-making Space Explorers will ascend in Spaceship Neptune from a launch

pad at the iconic Kennedy Space Center. Eight guests, accompanied by a pilot,

will soar above 99% of Earth's atmosphere and then glide for two hours to

uniquely enjoy our planet's biosphere from the comfortable capsule's vast

viewing windows.

Unlike grueling, expensive space rockets, Spaceship Neptune rewrites the

engineering playbook: it doesn't use rocket propulsion nor engender g-force

acceleration. Exhilarating in its own right, this experience invites a

profoundly different perspective through atmospheric layers, framed by the thin

blue line below and the blackness of space above. This visceral reminder of how

interconnected we are with all living organism is - according to most

astronauts who have experienced it - profoundly life-changing; boundaries and

differences disappear.

Each flight will be personally curated with end-to-end bespoke experiences,

from meeting Hall of Fame astronauts to taking nuptials to new heights.

Space Perspective is the first space launch operator to fly from Space Coast

Air and Spaceport, located adjacent to NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida.

Their Neptune One inaugural Test Flight kicks off an extensive testing program

that makes Spaceship Neptune an extremely safe way to go to space. Space

Perspective ensures safety by applying flight technology used for decades by

NASA and global government entities, supported by a world class, hand-picked

crew integral to all human spaceballoon flights for the last 50 years.

Jane Poynter and Taber MacCallum, the husband-and-wife team behind Space

Perspective, are on a mission to invite more people - including scientists and

artists - to ride the wave of space history and be transformed by seeing our

beautiful Earth from space.  

The couple has been responsible for some of the most remarkable breakthroughs

in space innovation and exploration in the last 20 years: perfecting

technologies seen on the International Space Station, acting as technical

advisors in human spaceflight to Elon Musk pre-SpaceX, and Google executive

Alan Eustace's world record for human spaceflight - 136,000 ft propelled by a

spaceballoon in 2014.

Traveling where few have gone before in an entirely accessible format, Space

Perspective sets a new bar in out-of-this-world luxury experiences. Please
