Space Perspective showed off the design of its cabin, which is one day meant to ascend well into the Earth's atmosphere, hanging from a massive balloon.
It looks like a man cave, but 20 miles up in the air, with some stunning views out of floor-to-ceiling windows.
The balloon, which the company refers to as the world's only carbon-neutral spaceship, will take the circular structure a mere 20 miles off the surface of the planet.
It's another space tourism company that uses the term "space" to cash in on the trend.
The company argues that the experience will still be spectacular, allowing the rich to gaze upon the deep, despite the fact that 20 miles isn't even a third of the way to the Karman Line.
Space Perspective says it has sold more than 600 tickets for a six hour experience at $125,000 per ticket.
We are above 99 percent of Earth's atmosphere, according to co-founder Jayne Poynter.
It was said that gliding up to 20 miles is going to space.
We wanted to find a way that changed the way people think about spaceflight so that it is more accessible.
It sounds like an accessible experience, even though passengers will never feel the effects of weightlessness, an arguably important part of spaceflight.
Don't get us wrong. The experience sounds good. The lounge will have a bar.
Don't expect to be called an Astronaut when you return to the surface.
Space balloon company offers first look at cabins.
The startup says it will launch you into theosphere on a balloon.
