We eat daily inside the boundary wall. Be it home or a hotel. Many people in the village eat food even sitting outside or at the door. But now you will have a new option. You will be able to eat in space as well and that too while flying. Surprising the world, a French startup (Zephalto) has announced this. The company is opening a restaurant in space, where from 2025 anyone can go and enjoy eating at this crazy restaurant. However, the price is shocking.
While companies like SpaceX are already doing space tourism, this French company is going one step further and preparing to feed by sitting in the sky. French start-up Zephalto is planning to take passengers to the edge of space in a balloon for a sumptuous meal. If this restaurant opens, one will be able to dine in Zefalto balloons filled with helium or hydrogen at an altitude of 25 kilometers. For this, a special type of balloon called Celeste is being developed. It can stay in one place for 90 minutes. Till then the guests will be able to enjoy scrumptious dishes.
Partnership with the French Space Agency
According to a CNN report, Zefalto, a company founded by aerospace engineer Vincent Farret de Estes, will send people very close to space in a pressurized capsule attached to a balloon, where passengers will be served Michelin-starred food. In a conversation with Bloomberg, De Estes said, I have partnered with the French Space Agency and we are working together on this mission. We have chosen 25 kilometers because at this altitude you live in the darkness of space. 98% of the atmosphere is below you. However, there will be no zero gravity here.
Airbus engineers designed
The very special Celeste balloon has been designed by Airbus engineers in collaboration with the French and European space agencies. Its speed will be 4 meters per second. This distance will be covered in one and a half hour and 6 passengers and 2 pilots will go along in this capsule. The capsule will hover above the earth for three hours. After reaching there, guests will get a chance to enjoy French wine as well as French food. It will also have a window of 75 square feet, from which the whole view will be visible. The initial booking has been kept for $11,000 i.e. around Rs 9 lakh. According to CNN, passengers will have to pay around $131,100 i.e. around Rs 1 crore for the round trip.
