Forget about flying commercials, Forget OceanGate…. For $133,000, you can book a hot air balloon ride to the edge of space in 2024. The balloon, called Céleste, is being developed by French aeronautical company Zephalto. It will take passengers to an altitude of 90,000 feet, where they can experience weightlessness and see the curvature of the Earth.
Pre-sale tickets are now available on Zephalto’s website. The company plans to begin commercial flights in 2024.
