For the Traveler Who's Seen it All - The World View Sub-Orbital Flight - Contrarie
World View, a commercial balloon spaceflight company has been included in Neiman Marcus’ Christmas Book as one of the ten elite Fantasy Gifts. The package includes a rare opportunity to be part of a World View test flight while enjoying luxurious accommodations at the Miraval Resort in Tucson, Arizona. Each package includes a private tour of Biosphere 2 with original crew member and World View CEO, Jane Poynter. The whole experience drips of luxury from launch to landing, and the flight with World View is a compelling way to witness the curvature of Earth and see the sun rise against a vast darkness of space. Passengers will have an hour to two hours to enjoy a view that only a select few have been able to see. And yet, floating 100,000 feet above Earth, passengers will have access to wireless internet, an in-flight bar and a lavatory. Such modern accommodations are possible due to World View’s high-altitude balloon technology, which allows for a smooth and gentle journey without extreme g-forces from its rockets. The cost of this experience? $90,000
