Based in Arizona , a company called View Enterprises said that it plans to offer trips to the edge of space in a capsule with eight luxurious seats . This capsule will be lifted by a hot air balloon at an altitude of approximately 30 kilometers or nearly 20 miles. This balloon will be raised high for approximately two hours before returning to Earth .
This trip will surely bring tourists to feel the sensation of being in the air is higher than board a plane which is generally just as high as 10-15 kilometers or approximately 30,000-40,000 feet .
" Visitors will be given a stunning view of the blackness of space and the curvature of the Earth with their own eyes . An amazing experience that must have never felt before , " said a spokesman for the company.
Not only that , he said that visitors will see the brilliance of a thin veil to envelop the planet's atmosphere . The first flight is scheduled to depart at 2016. Up to now , the testing component is done so that the capsules are completely safe for tourists .
The fees charged for tickets to visit this space worth USD 75 thousand per ticket. This offer is cheaper than ever at Virgin Galactic , which offers a similar trip by paying approximately U.S. $ 250 thousand for two and a half hours .
