Space Perspective

This Earth Day, join us at Space Perspective in reflecting on the profound words of the late astronomer and celebrated science communicator, Carl Sagan. His iconic "Pale Blue Dot" speech continues to be a guiding light for our mission. Now more than ever, we are reminded of Earth's vulnerability and our critical role in preserving it. Our planet, the "only home we've ever known," is a precious oasis of life in the vastness of space. We aim to bring more people into space than ever before to experience the transformative view of Earth from above—deepening our understanding of our world and humanity's place within it. With thanks to Ann Druyan and the Carl Sagan Institute at Cornell University. #spaceperspective #overvieweffect #carlsagan #earthday #palebluedot

Bloomberg Markets: The Close says that "commercial space travel has actually found its footing" in this segment with Space Perspective Founder and Co-CEO Jane Poynter during which she discusses the sizable market for accessible commercial space travel with hosts Romaine Bostick, CFA and Scarlet Fu. Click the image below to watch the full segment. 

"Taking a trip to space could soon be as easy as taking a first-class flight on a plane… this is an untapped market," said Stuart Varney from Varney & Co. and guest, Rosecliff Capital Founder, Managing Partner, and Chief Executive Officer, Michael Murphy, during the show yesterday.   “In the beginning of aviation, over 100 years ago, very few people were doing it. The very first commercial flight was over 100 years ago in Florida, and now think about it, we can’t live without it," said Space Perspective Founder & Co-CEO, Jane Poynter during the segment. "We’re at that same place right now in the space travel market - at this inflection point. 650 people - that's it - that's all who have ever been to space. And we're going to do more than that in our first year of operations." Click on the link to catch the full conversation on Fox Business Network.

We are beyond thrilled to share that one of the first ambitious projects aboard Spaceship Neptune will be with Michelin-starred Chef Rasmus Munk of world-renown restaurant The Alchemist, who, with our partner SpaceVIP, will be creating an exclusive culinary experience for six lucky Explorers. The Alchemist, based in Copenhagen, was ranked fifth in the World’s Best 50 Restaurants Guide for 2023, and, along with its head chef and mastermind, Munk, is notable for its immersive culinary dining experiences that carry a social conscience. Chef Rasmus, The Alchemist, SpaceVIP and we at Space Perspective share a deep passion for preserving our Earth and creating a better planet for all of humanity. All proceeds from seats sold for this incredible flight experience will benefit the Space Prize Foundation, which is dedicated to promoting gender equality in science and technology. #spaceperspective #overvieweffect #inspiration #travel #finedining

Last week, we welcomed Florida's Lieutenant Governor, Jeanette Núñez, to Mission Control for a tour of our in-house manufacturing facilities, including the Seely SpaceBalloon™ Factory and Capsule Integration Hangar. "With Florida serving as both the aerospace and tourism capitals of the world, it’s only fitting that Space Perspective would build and launch right from Florida’s Space Coast. Space tourism is a burgeoning sector within aerospace and our administration is proud to support Space Perspective as they provide customers with an out of this world experience," said the Lieutenant Governor, who visited us on the same day that Jeff Hoffman, former NASA astronaut, professor of aerospace engineering at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and Space Perspective Senior Technical Advisor, was on site, which made for a fantastic day. It was an honor to share our vision and progress as we continue on our journey to redefine human space tourism for the world – all starting here from the Florida Space Coast.

Earlier this week, Space Perspective Founder and Co-CEO, Jane Poynter, attended the Palm Beach International Boat Show and participated in the panel "Beyond Exploration: From the Depths of the Ocean to the Edge of Space," guided by Farouk Nefzi, CMO of Feadship, and featuring Triton Submarines LLC Co-Founder and CEO, Patrick Lahey, who joined the discussion on innovations enabling groundbreaking explorations and transformative experiences. 

Little surprise I grew up as a space and science geek in the 60’s. Built Saturn V model spaceships; launched Estes rockets over Londo Lake at my grandfather’s cottage; watched the Apollo moon landing on my grandparent’s first color TV. I can’t contain my kid-like excitement for this next DisruptED reveal. Talk about completely NEXT LEVEL! Actually, the Big Reveal came last week at Cape Canaveral from Space Perspective. Imagine: 💥Two aerospace engineers, Jane Poynter and her husband Taber, former inhabitants of Biosphere 2, just designed and built a space “balloon” that will completely disrupt space travel into the future 💥These are actual exterior photographs of Spaceship Neptune, a dome-like space vehicle that transports 8 Explorer passengers to the edge of space 💥In its first year of operation, Neptune will transport 650 passengers into space, more than have travelled in the history of space travel to date In tomorrow’s Big Reveal, we’ll be sharing photos of Neptune’s interior cabin— complete with water closet, bar service and accommodations for a piano and band. Later this week, Jane will join me on my podcast for the story behind the biggest story about Space Travel in our ever DisruptED world. Jane’s riveting account will leave you both spellbound and humbled by the impact two terrific humans will have on our command of the cosmos for years to come. Get DisruptED with us!

Get an intimate look at the process behind completing the build of our Spaceship Neptune - Excelsior capsule and the skilled team of experts behind the collaboration. Uniquely, Space Perspective is vertically integrated with in-house capsule design, manufacturing, testing and operational functions. This includes a carbon composites manufacturing facility with state-of-the-art process control, a material testing laboratory, and a capsule integration hangar. Our unparalleled engineering team, who have been instrumental in the development of every U.S. human spacecraft for the past 40 years, brings together a wealth of experience from working with leading space entities such as #NASA, #SpaceX, and Boeing to ensure our design, manufacturing, and operations meet or exceed regulations by the FAA and follows guidelines established by NASA and the U.S. Coast Guard. Witness the culmination of our efforts, resulting in only the third-ever commercial suborbital spacecraft successfully built and just the seventh new human spacecraft designed and manufactured in the last 50 years. #spaceperspective #overvieweffect #space #inspiration #discovery

"This is the Mecca in the United States to build a vessel of this caliber." - Bryan Dietz, Master Mariner, Marine Spaceport Voyager (Space Perspective launch vessel)   Conrad Shipyard is the premiere shipyard for building and retrofitting vessels for commercial spaceport operations. Space Perspective has made Conrad our exclusive partner in leading the reactivation and modification of MS Voyager to operate as the world’s first Marine Spaceport for human spaceflight.
