Stratospheric luxury dining will soon be accessible to those with deep pockets and a passion for food and place. A Michelin-starred dinner in space would have been an incredible accomplishment and extremely expensive.
Space and food enthusiasts with large pockets may soon be able to experience fine meals in a space never before seen. Well, they're ready to shell out about $500k for each ticket. And many have already inquired as to where they can sign up, less than a day after the trip was revealed.
Eating a starred meal in space would be an incredible achievement, but it would cost astronomically much.
Set to launch next year, the six-hour high-tech space balloon excursion will employ a Danish chef from a Michelin-starred restaurant. Rasmus Munk, a Michelin-starred Danish chef, will lead an immersive dining experience in space with SpaceVIP, one of the first luxury space tourism organizations.
The six guests who will be taken to a height of thirty kilometers (300.000 feet) above sea level will have a cuisine designed by Rasmus Munk. With wifi available so they may livestream to friends at home, they will eat here while watching the sun rise over the curve of the planet.
Although the menu hasn't been decided upon yet, the chef stated in an interview with Bloomberg that he wants the meals to be as inventive as the trip itself, with ideas like aerogel-inspired cuisine and encapsulated scents among them. He works as the chef at Alchemist, a Danish restaurant that came in fifth place in the 2023 edition of the World's Best 50 Restaurants.
We understand that this is an expensive first trip. However, this is the first launch with these culinary experiences on board, as Munk, who is going on the voyage himself, remarked.
According to him, the goal is to arrange more trips and eventually reduce the cost so that more people may partake in the activity.
A statement claims that no specific equipment or training is needed for the spacecraft, which was constructed by Space Perspectives. Rather than using a rocket, a space balloon—a technology created by NASA will hoist a pressurized capsule. Next month, test flights will begin.
