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

Based out of Kennedy Space Center, Space Perspective is led by industry
luminaries Jane Poynter and Taber MacCallum, and their expert crew who have
been integral to all human spaceballoon flights in the last 50 years. Poynter
and MacCallum have been dubbed "masters of the stratosphere" by Bloomberg
Businessweek, and MacCallum served as Chairman of the Commercial Spaceflight
Federation.
