US company offers space voyage for USD 50,000

Commercial balloon rides offering sightseeing tours from the edge of space will soon be a reality, Report informs, citing The Times. 

World View has begun taking reservations for flights to the outer limits of the atmosphere, which are expected to begin in three years. Customers will soar to 100,000ft and cruise for hours.

At $50,000 per seat, the experience is not cheap, but World View claims that its voyages will be kinder on the body, wallet, and planet than some of the alternatives approaching the market. Tourists on a rocket could experience six times the force of gravity on take-off, but World View customers will glide upwards in a pressurized capsule. Each voyage will last up to 12 hours, with inflight dining, bar, and onboard cameras and telescopes
