SpaceVIP to Launch Luxury Space Dining Experience in 2025
At $495,000 per ticket, the venture aims to offer an unparalleled view of Earth alongside a Michelin-starred meal, raising questions about accessibility and exclusivity.
- SpaceVIP, in partnership with Michelin-starred Chef Rasmus Munk, announces a luxury space dining experience set for late 2025, costing $495,000 per person.
- The six-hour journey will offer guests a Michelin-starred meal aboard Spaceship Neptune, lifted by a high-altitude balloon to the edge of Earth's atmosphere.
- The experience aims to inspire a deeper connection with Earth and humanity through the 'Overview Effect', without the need for rocket travel or zero gravity.
- Critics question the exclusiveness and high cost of the venture, while SpaceVIP defends it as a step towards making space travel more accessible.
- Interest in the trip is high, with many inquiries and plans for future trips to lower costs and allow more people to participate.
