Commercial stratospheric balloons - An opportunity to touch space

You will be able to see our blue planet Earth below; black skies, bright stars and the Sun will be above. You will be in a space-rated capsule, in the vacuum of space. You will have 2 hours to enjoy the view from 36 km. Your flight will be slow and gentle. It will cost much less than a flight to orbit or a space station. Your spaceship will be carried by a stratospheric balloon.

Our guest, Jose Mariano Lopez Urdiales, the Founder and CEO of Zero 2 Infinity company, spent many years launching high-altitude stratospheric balloons. He had studied at MIT and International Space University; has worked at Boeing and European Space Agency. For the last 13 years he is developing the project of lifting tourists beyond Earth's atmosphere, to see space with their own eyes.
