Space Perspective's MS Voyager, accompanied by a water-cannon-salute escort, returned to Port Canaveral after a milestone test flight. The uncrewed capsule, Excelsior, ascended 100,000 feet with a hydrogen-filled balloon, marking a successful six-hour flight that concluded with a gentle splashdown in the Gulf of Mexico. CEO Michael Savage expressed satisfaction with the test outcomes, highlighting minimal issues and the potential for human spaceflight based on the collected data. The company plans to conduct further tests before launching commercial service in 2026, offering passengers a unique space lounge experience at $125,000 per ticket. Space Perspective's approach to space tourism with gentle balloon rides aims to cater to individuals seeking a peaceful alternative to rocket launches, potentially expanding the market to those concerned about rocket safety or physical limitations. The company's presence in Brevard County, employing 130 workers and operating from Melbourne to Titusville, signifies an economic boost to the region. With plans for increased balloon production and continued test flights, Space Perspective's innovative concept looks to redefine the space tourism industry. The return of MS Voyager to Port Canaveral sets the stage for future advancements in commercial human spaceflight, highlighting Florida's role in the evolving space industry.
