This is what first class looks like in space.
MacCallum said the design’s new exterior, which moved from a squat top and bottom to a more spherical shape, required about 130 mockups. The company worked with Siemens engineering to create the shape as well as a new patent-pending “splash cone” for a waterborne re-entry as it comes back to earth.Courtesy Space Perspectives
The company, which is offering seats at $125,000 per person, plans its first flight in 2024. The space balloon will ascend at 12 mph and have a two-hour descent that culminates in an ocean splashdown and boat retrieval off the coast of Florida. Theincludes a bar, reclining seats, oversized 360-degree windows, WiFi and tasteful décor that includes fresh herbs for the food and cocktails. It also has a restroom.
The splash cone, which serves as a type of stabilizing sea anchor for the capsule once it touches down, also involved many iterations with Siemens. “The goal was for a soft landing rather than a belly flop,” said MacCallum.
