Travel in a ballon, view the space live for just $75,000

World View Enterprises is planning to unveil a passenger ballon that could transport people to the edge of the space, 98,000 feet above earth's surface. Before now, Space travelling has always been only for the rich and mighty who could afford a whooping $20 million. However, World View is on a project to make space travel affordable.

According to the enterprise, the ballon will be Helium powered and could transport up to eight passengers willing to view the space in regular clothes. The expected cost is $75,000 per ride, with passengers spending about two hours cruising at the highest altitude, checking out the curvature of the planet.

A timeline hasn't been unveiled for flight services but the capsule is under construction. Very soon, we will start hearing about test flights and menus for the onboard beverage offerings.
