    Jul 13 2022
    Space Perspective just raised $40M to build the Disney World of space. To do it they’re using Space Balloons. NASA has been toying with space balloons since the 1970s but you may remember them from Red Bull’s halo jump — a skydive from the edge of the stratosphere. Space Perspective is betting that instead of strapping into a rocket for a 12 min trip you might prefer a 6 hour trip with WiFi, a cocktail bar, a culinary experience, and a full bar.
