Dinner and not dosido... In space, in a Michelin-starred restaurant. This will become possible next year and the French company Zephalto is working on this.
The space tourism venture, founded by former air traffic controller Vincent Farret d'Astiès, is currently selling 'advance booking tickets' for future trips in a pressurized capsule, called Celeste, attached to a stratospheric balloon.
This capsule will climb to a height of 25 kilometers, allowing guests to marvel at space.
A ride on the Celeste costs about $131,100.
Celeste promises to carry six passengers and two pilots to maximum altitude in just 90 minutes, at a speed of four meters per second. The capsule will then stay above Earth for three hours and visitors will enjoy French food and wine.
Zephalto, founded in 2016, is not the only company hoping to transport passengers in a beautiful balloon. Floridian Space Perspective is currently taking reservations for its Neptune spacecraft.
