WORLD VIEW ENTERPRISES NEAR-SPACE BALLOON FLIGHTS
Got $75,000 blowing a hole in your pocket? Wanna see the curve of the earth in near-space? Well we have just the extreme experience for you. World View Enterprises Near-Space Ballon Flights ($75,000) let you see the curve of the earth from the safety of a hot air balloon capsule.
The capsule will lift you 19 miles via a high-altitude balloon. The complete ride will take about 4 hours. The ballon will reach its maximum height in about 90 minutes, once there you’ll sail for about 2 hours, followed by a 40 minute descent. Flights are expected to start early in 2016.
