Dining experience in space will take place about Spaceship Neptune
The expedition will take place aboard Space Perspective’s Spaceship Neptune, the world’s first carbon-neutral spaceship, where six explorers will be making history by enjoying the meal of a lifetime above 99% of Earth’s atmosphere. Each explorer will be outfitted by French fashion house Ogier, who will be crafting made-to-measure outfits designed using cutting-edge fabric technology developed specifically for this mission. The six-hour journey is set to launch in 2025 from the Space Coast of Florida starting at the price of $495k per ticket. All proceeds from this expedition will be directed to the Space Prize Foundation, dedicated to promoting gender equity in science and technology.
Space Perspective is the company behind the Spaceship Neptune
Space Perspective offers the most safe and accessible way to travel to space with its Spaceship Neptune, which delivers a completely reimagined spaceflight experience with no training or special gear required. Featuring a pressurized capsule lifted gently by a SpaceBalloon™ – not a rocket – the spacecraft will take explorers and ascend 100,000 ft above sea level where they will dine as they watch the sunrise over the Earth’s curvature. Explorers will also have Wi-Fi on board and are welcome to livestream their experience and connect with loved ones down on Earth during their flight. Chef Rasmus’s imaginative creations will augment every step of the experience, including dishes inspired by the role of space exploration during the last 60 years of human history, and the impact it has had on our society – both scientifically and philosophically. Chef Rasmus will tell an intentional story through the language of Holistic Cuisine that will inspire thought and discussion on the role of humanity in protecting our planet, challenging the diner to reexamine our relationship with Earth and those who inhabit it.
“Alchemist’s domed main dining room draws direct inspiration from the awe I felt as a child, seeing the Earth from space at the Copenhagen Planetarium for the very first time,” said Chef Rasmus Munk of Alchemist. “Immersiveness is central to Holistic Cuisine, and my ambition is to blend gastronomy with art and science to create awareness about social and environmental issues. In this experience, I want to highlight food as a common thread in our human existence, and it will be truly meaningful to serve it while gazing down at the Earth’s curvature. I am honored to be part of what I think will be a transformative once-in-a-lifetime experience – both for the guests and myself, and I look very much forward to supporting the Space Prize Foundation as the beneficiary of this expedition as well as deepening our collaboration with both leading scientific institutions and designers for this project.”
