Space Perspective is a space balloon company. They're building lighter than air balloons with glass capsules to take people to the edge of space.
Our guest is Founder and Co-CEO Jane Poynter. Jane worked on the space balloons used for the world's highest-ever skydive, Redbull's 2012 halo jump out of the stratosphere, she built the first self-contained biospheres to breed animals in space on the International Space Station and she spent two years and 20 minutes living in Biosphere 2, a mock Mars colony in the desert in Arizona.
We cover all of this and the business model of space tourism in this fun and surprising episode.
