Space travel company to offer Michelin Star meals in the stratosphere for almost $500,000 a head
16.03.2024 - 20:36 / insider.com
A luxury space travel company is set to mingle fine dining with suborbital travel.
SpaceVIP has partnered with Danish chef Rasmus Munk to design a menu for a six-hour voyage above the Earth via space balloon, Bloomberg reports. The price? Almost $500,000 a head, according to the outlet.
"Explorers will ascend 100,000 ft above sea level," SpaceVIP shared on Instagram, "where they will dine as they watch the sunrise over the Earth's curvature."

The vessel, carrying six guests, will make its maiden voyage next year, according to Bloomberg. Test flights begin next month, the outlet reported, and interest is already exceeding availability.
"We've already had dozens of qualified participants express tremendous interest in this experience and, with only six seats available, we foresee us securing all passengers in the next few weeks," SpaceVIP founder Roman Chiporukha told Bloomberg.
Munk, chef and co-owner of the two-starred Alchemist restaurant in Copenhagen, told Bloomberg he's designing a menu that's decidedly on theme, complete with "aerogel-inspired food and encapsulated aroma," according to the outlet.
The voyage will take place on a spacecraft dubbed Spaceship Neptune — a pressurized capsule lifted by a hydrogen-filled balloon (instead of rockets) that was designed by Florida-based startup Space Perspective.
Each passenger will be attired by French fashion house Ogier in made-to-measure outfits, according to SpaceVIP, with proceeds from the expedition benefiting The Space Prize, which promotes women in the space field.
