Dining at the edge of space

Have you already finished eating in the dark? Have you tried a three-star restaurant? If you're looking for a new and innovative way to eat, look no further. You'll soon be able to eat at great heights: in space. Or well, on the verge of it.

Space perspective

It's called Space Perspective, and an evening of fine dining will set you back $500,000, but it will allow you to watch the sunrise in a way that only a few people have been able to observe directly. From 2025, you can travel in his Neptune spacecraft to the edge of space and enjoy the amazing view in two hours, as well as a menu prepared by the famous Danish chef Rasmus Munk, known as the Alchemist (two Michelin stars). .

In this type of capsule, you can see how the sun rises over the curve of the Earth, after first flying to an altitude of 30 kilometers. Munk will travel with you, but otherwise it is a very exclusive and intimate event: only 6 guests can participate. However, it is fully equipped: there is also WiFi on board with which you can live broadcast your experience with this space balloon on social media.

OverviewEffect

Neptune still needs testing, which will take place next month. We're interested in how Salty Monk makes the food, because it tastes a little different on a regular plane, let alone when you get that high. By the way, you are not really going to space (and certainly not to Neptune): then you would have to fly at an altitude of about 60 to 70 kilometers. So, you're not an astronaut if you've had this experience, but you've likely gained important insight. No doubt you feel insignificant when you can admire the Earth from this view. This is also called the overview effect, and it's a kind of epiphany you get when you're able to admire that view.
