Try fine French wines in a balloon at the edge of Space for £106,000

French start-up Zephalto is offering voyages in its Space capsule, lifted by a stratospheric balloon as high as 25 kilometres above the ground. That’s twice as high as the average commercial jet.

The capsule has a large panorama window, and can carry eight people, comprising six passengers and two pilots. The whole journey aboard the vessel, known as the Celeste, takes six hours, and it will only set you back €120,000 (£106,000).
