People could soon be able to fly to the edge of the space as a company in the United States is planning to offer balloon rides to people in a few years. Space Perspective announced its plans to fly passengers and research payloads to the edge of space with its Spaceship Neptune, a high-performance balloon, and a pressurised capsule. The firm said that it will test its first flight for Space Neptune in early 2021, without any crew.
