Space Perspective unveiled a test model of its Neptune pressurized capsule, which is designed to take passengers on a six-hour suborbital trip.
  • An aerospace startup has unveiled the test capsule for its luxury space tourism experience.
  • Space Perspective's Neptune will bring passengers on a six-hour flight to the edge of the stratosphere.
  • It's the latest commercial spacecraft for suborbital flight, after Virgin Galactic and Blue Origin.

The latest offering in space tourism promises to be a lot less bumpy.

Space Perspective, a Florida-based startup, recently unveiled a test capsule for its new Neptune spacecraft. Neptune is expected to start carrying passengers into the stratosphere — using a massive balloon, instead of rockets — as early as next year.
