Eating a Michelin-star-level meal on the “edge of space” could be a reality next year, if French company Zephalto has its way
. The space tourism venture, founded by former air traffic controller Vincent Farret d’Astiès, is currently selling “pre-reservation tickets” for upcoming trips in a pressurized capsule, dubbed Celeste, attached to a stratospheric balloon. This capsule will ascend to an altitude of 25 kilometers , allowing guests to marvel at the curvature of the Earth. In between gawping at views, travelers will be wined and dined in style.
It’s worth remembering there’s a big difference between a trip to orbital space – involving gravity-busting high-speed takeoffs and longer duration – and suborbital space, in which travelers are briefly exposed to weightlessness and views of space during a flight to the edge of the atmosphere, 60 miles above Earth. And trips to the “edge of space” – like those proposed by Zephalto and Space Perspective – are different again.
