Meet the “Bloon”

The hot air balloon worthy for space travel is the concept of Jose Lopez-Urdiales, a Spanish entrepreneur. The “Bloon” looks like a small space capsule with four windows which should be enough for four passengers to take a good look at space. Accompanying the four passengers into space are two pilots.

The helium balloon that will take the capsule into space is not something you see in regular balloon flights. The helium balloon measures 129 meters in diameter and it has the capacity to bring up the capsule up to 36 kilometers or 22 miles from the ground. Its maximum altitude is three times better than regular passenger aircraft.

The Bloon’s method of hauling people into space is actually very simple: the helium balloon will take the passengers into space and after two hours, the capsule will descend using a smaller balloon and eventually parachute into the ground.

Cost and Travel Times

The travel time including the trip from the ground and back is three hours (1 hour for travel). The projected cost of the trip will be £90,000 per passenger. It’s an ambitious project and actually more affordable that aircraft powered space travel.
