The automaker’s unconventional new partnership takes passengers beyond roads.
Mercedes-Benz has always represented the pinnacle of mobility and luxury, creating vehicles that provided the most comfortable journey both on and off the roads.
Founded by aerospace industry veterans Jane Poynter and Taber MacCallum, Space Perspective aims to create accessible, climate-friendly space travel to the masses. What sets Spaceship Neptune apart from the spacecraft of companies like Blue Origin, SpaceX and Virgin Galactic, is that their craft does not use any fossil fuel-burning engines. Instead, the capsule is carried into the stratosphere using a giant balloon that Space Perspective calls the “Space Balloon,” which is designed to provide a comfortable experience akin to a hot air balloon.
