The company Zephalto will launch a new space tourism offer promising to dine closer to the stars.
You know the meals in the stars? Now how about a dinner closer to the stars? In recent years, offers offering “space tourism” have multiplied. Whether on the side of Space X, Virgin Galactic or Blue Origin, the giants of the sector offer trips to space for wealthy tourists in search of thrills.
A French start-up has sniffed out the right vein by combining its specialty in stratospheric balloons with French gastronomy.
Gastro dinner at 25 km high
This startup, responding to the name of Zephalto, is not a newcomer to the field since its founders have been working for several years in partnership with the French Space Agency. It specializes in the development of space balloons, devices inflated with helium or hydrogen that can rise to more than 25 km above the ground.
An experience that she used to create a unique experience: the possibility of enjoying a gourmet dinner in the stratosphere.
Star chefs in the stratosphere
As it states on its website, the company has pulled out all the stops! These future customers will indeed be able to enjoy a dinner prepared on dry land by starred chefs in the stratosphere while admiring the Earth and the stars. Of course, the food/wine pairing will be required with rigorously selected vintages.
The view promises to be spectacular with a giant porthole installed in the pressurized capsule in which the guests will be seated.
An offer taken by storm
For Zephalto, the use of space balloons and pressurized capsules confined to the stratosphere has the advantage of not causing a loss of gravity which can prove to be problematic. This type of device also emits very few emissions. carbon.
The first dinners are scheduled for the end of 2024. Despite a price of 120,000 euros per guest, it will be necessary to be patient, because despite 60 flights scheduled per year, the next available places will not be until mid-2025.
