Branson expressed excitement about the upcoming balloon flight, stating, "Some of the most magnificent experiences of my life have happened on ballooning expeditions, and I'm excited to support Space Perspective in its journey."
Space Perspective, which has received over 1,800 reservations, plans to offer flights for eight passengers at a cost of $125,000, using renewable hydrogen for the ascent.
The maiden voyage is a significant milestone in commercial space travel, with a successful uncrewed test flight completed in September, marking advancements in ballooning technology.
