Balloon ride to lift passengers 30 km into space
- 6 years ago
For US$75,000, space tourism company World View will be launching passengers 30 km into space by air balloon for a two-hour view of the earth's curve.
Although the balloon will attain more than twice the altitude reached by conventional airplanes, passengers will not experience weightlessness in the stratosphere. 'Outer space' is 100km above the earth's surface, just beyond the reach of gravity. — Reuters
