How Expensive Is It to Go to Space
Funny enough, there is a cheaper way to get your space fix, and it doesn’t involve a rocket. For around $125,000, you can take a high-altitude balloon ride with Space Perspective.
You’ll float up to the edge of the atmosphere in a pressurized capsule, sipping champagne while the Earth curves below you. It’s not technically outer space, but your Instagram followers won’t know the difference, and your wallet will cry just a little less.
It’s like the difference between a first-class ticket to Paris and a ride in a private jet—one is amazing, the other is just actually achievable for a lucky few.
