Spaceship Neptune is one of the latest space tourism ventures.

Even from an altitude of 20 miles , they will be able to see the blackness of space above them and the spherical Earth below them, in a view not too different from that at the Karman line.

Although Spaceship Neptune won't reach the Karman Line, it will go above another key boundary called the Armstrong Line. Located around 12 miles altitude, the air pressure here is so low that water boils at normal body temperature. In order to survive, this means humans need either a spacesuit or a pressurized cabin. Fortunately for Space Perspective's customers, Spaceship Neptune will be equipped with the latter, in the form of a state-of-the-art capsule suspended beneath the balloon. But it isn't the kind of cramped, utilitarian capsule normally associated with space travel. It's both spacious and luxurious, giving the occupants 360-degree panoramic views.
