Are you a foodie who loves visit Michelin star restaurants? Well, you might soon be able to do dine in one in (almost) outer space, thanks to the new venture by French company Zephalto.
The space tourism venture was founded by former air traffic controller Vincent Farret D’Asties, who is currently selling pre-reservation tickets for a place on the pressured capsule.
Dubbed Celeste, the capsule is attached to a stratospheric balloon and it is expected to ascend to an altitude of 25 kilometres. This will allow guests to glance at the curvature of the Earth whilst being fed some high class dishes.
Of course, no such reservation is going to come cheap, as tickets are going for around €10,000, with the full experience racking up to around €120,000.
CNN Travel was informed by Zephalto that seats on board the first flights for late 2024 and mid-2025 have already been reserved and that they are now opening up reservations for mid-2025 and onwards.
Six passengers will be able to enjoy this experience at a time, along with two pilots as the capsule rises in just 90 minutes, at a speed of four meters per second. The capsule will then float for around three hours before making the way back down.
