I want Flat-Earthers to be on the first flight, with free tickets !
Then I'm a flat earther, lmao
I'd join the flat earth society for some free tickets
Edgy Brah
No, please. Not ever! Stupidity should not be rewarded!
Good idea to get them all in one place
Down a shot of tequila every time she says "visceral".
😂
This game creates a visceral experience with my whiskey.
Every time she says visceral, I think of organs.
@@tamilian100 Fatty liver time.
“Cavacha ahv tha uuttthh!”
There should be discounts for flat-earthers.
Stupidity should not be rewarded!
Lol
They would just say the windows are fish-eye lenses making the Earth appear round. It's all just a big conspiracy to them. Ironically, those kinds of people live in their own bubbles. I didn't expect to get into serious flat-Earth conversation ever, but unfortunately someone I know has dragged me into one twice already... I consider those conversations to be a lost cause so I end them with something like "let's agree to disagree".
should be free think lolz in its face be More then payment lolz fyi challenges bet i wunna see proof
@@eaaeeeea lol i ment it as a joke bro sry my bad didnt mean to start sheep stampede 😆😆
That would be so cool.
It would be this VISCERAL experience!
@Genosrage only if you are afraid of heights
How will you not be blind by the sun?
@@HardKore5250 Sunglasses bro 😎
@@NeonVomitz Yeah but the sun in your face would be ultra bright.
A hydrogen filled balloon won’t remind anyone of anything.
O THE HUMANITY
You mean like...the Hindenburg Zeppelin?
@@florinpandele5205 yes.
@@florinpandele5205 uh oh
Nathan Lewis first thing i thought of when it was said
That balloon can only operate within THE ATMOSPHERE! So it doesn't take you into space at all. NOW THAT'S VISCERAL!
Exactly. I'm thinking that balloon will explode once it gets to its highest point and forcing the pod to fall to earth. Even flipping around like a coin falling down. If this is the case I don't think a parachute will help or even seatbelts for that matter 😂
So space starts at 100km but they are taking you to 30km (100 000ft) and call it space 👀
It's stratosphere. Above where planes fly, below where rockets go and ISS stays. The limits to space are conventional, there isn't like a line that defines it. Air just becomes rarer and rarer until there isn't any to breath, but still around the Moon there are a few molecules.
@@MariaMartinez-researcher there's a reason why they labelled space to start at 100km to avoid debates like this. Not a 1/4 of that distance.
If you can call it space, you can charge more, but calling it space doesn’t make it space. Pres is right, 30km and 100km are very different...
Space starts at 30km frnd. Check what's called Karman Line.
U really need more homework
@@the_phoenix__08 "In the 1900s, Hungarian physicist Theodore von Kármán determined the boundary to be around 50 miles up, or roughly 80 kilometers above sea level. Today, though, the Kármán line is set at what NOAA calls “an imaginary boundary” that's 62 miles up, or roughly a hundred kilometers above sea level."
Did you read the last part? "... roughly 100km above sea level" I just copy pasted your own argument which still agrees to my statement😂😂 and you tell me to do my own homework 😂😂. Do your thing mate lol
Cheaper, safer, no training needed, no nerves of steel needed, greener, longer time in the air... This project has all the ingredients for success that I bet ultimately will make it more popular than rocket space tourism.
This one really could work.
An emergency parachute would be a plus
With a parachute they could use hydrogen instead of rare helium. Cheaper and renewable and if it blows you have the parachute. A win win for the chute cos with H2 you need the chute and the parachute makes H2 safer and possible.
@@Justwantahover It would be cool to jump out of this balloon with parachutes, like two guys did !!! Alan Eustace broke the record of 135,000+ , which is even higher than this balloon !!!
What if you get sucked out of the stratosphere but the space vacuum 😳
@@marktruong7937 "Space-Vacuum", even if it exists, begins several thousand kilometers above earth-surface!!! There is plenty of air where these people were!!
You would need a space suit otherwise you would die as soon as you left the cabin. A parachute for the whole craft would be easier
It's visceral guys
Toasted Toasty Toasted!
I’m assuming there’s some kind of UV protection in that thing. Otherwise the sun coming up won’t be that fun.
There must be cause the strongest sunglasses wont give you protection of the sun right in front of your eyes. Either that or they give you special glasses.
But even if you went blind you must be rich to afford the ticket there are already bionic eyes to restore sight.
in the glass itself?
If I'm dropping that kind of money then I'm going all out. I don't want a glorified hot air balloon ride when others are riding rockets. I'd save my pennies and upgrade. Give me the full zero-G experience.
Actually I think this Balloon and Bezos rocket trip reach the same height the higher you go the less oxygen and you would need a astronaut suit like when the guy bungie jumped way up in space he has to wear a astronaut suit and mask same as top gun pilots.
@@HardKore5250 Yeah, that's what I want. To truly visit space.
@@HardKore5250 Bezos is going to about 100km, Branson some 85km. Those balloons are going to 30km. (im in team SPCE, so i accept 85km as the start of space :-))
And you only need a suit if you exit the cabin of course. The balloon will have a cabin too. otherwise this trip would be quite....😎 frosty
@@CodepageNet It’s all about seeing the Earth way up high.
@@HardKore5250 yeah. fine by me. i think 125k is way too much for a concept that probably needs close to 0 maintenance. 10k per seat and make it possible to exit at any point for parachute jump to attract some dare devils.
The balloon ride would provide much more time to really take in the experience than a rocket.
I would love to take my whole family up there.
Don’t take your entire family bro. I hate to be dark, but if any accident occurs, an entire generation in your family tree would be wiped out. God forbid
Same
Only if I can leave them there
better than rockets I think! chill, have a drink, absorb it in!
3:13 "less than 20 people have ever been to this region of our atmosphere" .. really? I thought the number would have been nearer to 500.
This is about 10k feet higher than even the Blackbird flew.
@@rsd3719 Try googling "how many people have been in space" ... it's over 500.
@@veemacks7255 I get what you're saying but she is talking about a very specific part of the atmosphere. The ISS is higher and the highest flying planes are lower. So all the people in space has been through it, twice, but has not spent a meaningful amount of time there.
Her wording was definitely wrong. I think she meant people that have actually been at that altitude for a bit of time instead of passing through. Not really all that "exclusive" sounding.
This is not pass by it's been in
What if the balloon pops?
Word of the day: visceral
4:03 "the stratosphere, which is technically where we're going" ... well, I've already been there. It's in Las Vegas.
But stratosphere Las Vegas is not the true stratosphere. The balloon will take you in the true stratosphere.
@@dienersamuel1 I think he was making a joke.
@@HardKore5250 Yeah! I know.
Flat earthers after there first ride: this is a simulation made by the government to fool poeple
Interesting that might be the best argument for them I’m sure people will take selfies and videos and post them on Instagram of their space trip.
But the curvature will not be visible from that height too
flat earther would be this balloon ride costs $50,000, only goes 100 000 feet and it is FLAT___________ Other balloons with cameras have gone 127000 feet and it is still FLAT_________________________
I find the concept appealing, but 125k for essentially a balloon ride - it'll never fly.
@throwaway 240 I don’t think that what the real ticket price. That is what it sold for at an auction.
Book it for free if you’re a flat earther and get a chance to be left in space to live there
I want join that 18.9 mile high club
Just make sure no one under 18 is on the ride at the time or at least not bellow the age of consent which varies by state from 16 to 18. When I asked space perspective about the age requirement, the company said that children are welcome though they will likely have a lower age limit of 6-8 years old. Thing is there will be 8 passengers on board and it’s possible that one or more of them will be a child since this is something that children will also want to do.
I do too but I should wait until I turn 18. I’m turning 18 in about 10 1/2 months. If anyone will give me a free ride, I’m in. Preferably when or after I turn 18 so I can join the mile high club no matter what state we launch from.
But I won’t if there are children on the flight.
Very interesting concept. But aside from the amazing experience of seeing the Earth from 100,000 feet (3 times the height of a typical passenger jet), your video neglected to mention the big difference between a balloon flight and the alternative rocket-powered flights offered by Blue Origin and Virgin Galactic. During a rocket-powered ballistic flight, the passengers will also experience being weightless in space for a few minutes before the vehicle re-enters the Earth's atmosphere, similar to the experience of an astronaut orbiting the Earth. During the slow flight of a balloon, the passengers will not experience weightlessness, although they will experience the amazing views of Earth for hours compared to the minutes of a rocket-powered flight. Also let's not forget that all passengers on Concorde experienced views of Earth from around 64,000 feet at Mach 2 for a lot less money.
The only reason people on the Blue or Virgin rockets feel weightless is because those vehicles are doing a maneuver like going over the hill on a roller coaster. You could ride the "Vomit Comet" for less money, although the view is not good.
... Concorde wasn't profitable, if it was they would've fixed their engineering problems with their fuel tanks, and would've continued to fly. But it wasn't Cost effective to repair their fleet. 🤔
I had an idea like this still going for it I will make it half the cost 50k
Ill be your test pilot sign me up
@@johnnypinkleton9410 yes
And you'd still be ripping people off.
@@brainmind4070 looks like you understand economics this operations are expensive buddy its not your average safari.
@@victorrosales35 It's a frickin' balloon ride. $125,000 per passenger? Give me a break.
for sure this is a cool trip. but 125k seems waayyyy overpriced. i'd say this should cost 10k max per passenger. why does it take that long to develop this, seems pretty straight forward to me. i also like how easy it is to add a parachute as extra safety.
Other flights cost millions.
Unfortunately there’s more than enough people who would pay that price and/or more
I like this idea, it is a lot safer and have a lot more time to enjoy the trip. Good idea.
You silly boy .. I hope you acquired some common sense these last 12 months
What would the gravity be at that hight?
The same as on the surface.
Exactly the same as it is for you now.
You would only feel a weightless effect if the balloon burst and the capsule started falling, of if you went into orbit like the ISS.
It is the effect of orbiting that makes the astronauts in the ISS feel weightless.
In an altitude of 32 km, gravity is 99% of the gravity at sea level.
You won't feel a difference.
Some kid going to school after summer Teacher: what did you do this summer. Kid: I went to space in a ballon
I think you have to be 18 or older. But I bet that will change.
I love the co-founder of this company. The way she talks and explains it and how it works shows her excitement and giddiness. At the very end of this video she also mentions ideas and applications in the future like a classroom session space! Imagine that if you are an aspiring Astronaut as a child. Wow! People like her do think about the money instead they only think for the future and what possibilities it brings. I like her. Going to remember her just Elon.
A person on a tv saying they're in space to a classroom 😕 thats what we need the world is saved never mind the homeless people living on the streets.
People are so easily brainwashed.
@@freshprince3891 God forbid people explore their passions. Let's go make EVERYONE attempt to save the homeless; surely that will end well.
@@houdiniweenie69 Let's save the planet first, also end wars and poverty, solve the food and energy crisis. Then if we find time we can see about concerts in space for the select few narcissists who get off on putting art before survival.
The people who envision a better future, should really be paying attention to how badly we humans are handling the present, before they kill us all with their optimism.
Yeah, Serve drinks in the stratosphere, what a great idea! That's what NASA would do, right. 5000 bucks a glass, but with a two glass limit to stop billionaire tantrums at 40,000ft.
This is little more than a money-driven extravagance to pander the wealthy, preceded by the obligatory publicity campaign to drum up virtual funds based on pseudo-science. Rubbish about spending time in rarely visited parts of the upper atmosphere. And what's with pictures af water in zero-G.
Spin, Spin, Spin. The money and science is needed elsewhere.
Oh what a killjoy I am. I'll guess I'll be dissin' flying taxis next.
I didn't like the co-founder.
nah man flat earthers should pay extra
All those pics are so misleading.. U will barely barely see the curvature at 100, 000ft
I wonder where else I've heard about a hydrogen balloon carrying passengers before.. I can't seem to remember how it ended up for that balloon..
Helium is not flammable
Filled with hydrogen?
That’s fuel.
Fuel helps combustion take place.
Not to mention it's what brought the hindenburg down and ended the blimp age for the most part. Those who ignore history are doomed to repeat it.
@@jernito NO the outer skin of the Hindenburg was lacquer and powdered aluminum impregnated canvas HIGHLY flammable and THAT is what burned for an absurd amount of time the hydrogen was gone in seconds.
yeah, I bet people will also be smoking inside of the actual balloon. It's gonna be in space. Are you dumb
I feel like if people get this experience they would be way more conscious of how important the environment is
Why don't we plant tree than? The Netherlands government want to stop almost every farmer in there land because the say they care about thee world. But why is Netherlands and Irland the lowest on having trees in Europe, only 10%. Turkey have more than 40%.
You assume they will all be humbled by it. Whereas I assume most people with 125k to spend on a 6 hour trip, are more likely to feel like monarchs overwatching their kingdom.
I base this assumption on the ever increasing trend for rich tourist to visit glacier calvings and emporor penguins. Much to the detriment of both.
FWIW I'm well known for my lack of optimism or faith in the human race. So I could be wrong.
Lol we have instant access to all publicaly available information via the internet and we still don't get it.
$125k.......
100,000 feet is 30 kilometres. Space starts at 100 kilometres (Kármán line).
Yeah, the idea is still really cool, but I felt the video was a bit misleading because of that.
@@shaitoledano5867 A b it misleading? More like flat out lies
@@kirkc9643 Pretty much. Now thousands of people don't even know where space is :/
Ah yes, a *visceral* "space" ride...
Brought to you by P.T. Barnum.
Is it me or does it look like friezas ship?
"Space" is the wrong term, you cant go somewhere without an atmosphere(space), using something that relys on an atmosphere(balloon)...
Yep, 30km isn't even close to space.
Kirk Claybrook But it looks like outer space from that height. I mean you’re above 99 percent of earth’s atmosphere.
Kirk Claybrook But yeah you’re right. According to the international definition, you are not in outer space until you reach 100 km. Even by the US definition, your still not in outer space until you reach 80 km. If you however, consider all of the thermosphere and exosphere part of earth’s atmosphere and not part of outer space, you are not in outer space until you reach at least 10,000 km. Strictly speaking, you are not in outer space until you reach at least 100,000 km and probably not until at 630,000 km. If the probable altitude at which the exosphere ends is correct, no one has ever reached outer space. Not even those who have been to the moon. However, 30 km is better than what you would get on an airliner and it looks like outer space which would give the views most people would be asking for. So yeah, they say it’s space because the sky is nearly completely black and you can see the stars. However, it doesn’t even reach the mesosphere but the stratosphere is better than the troposphere if you want it to be like outer space.
they will indeed see the curvature of balloon.
Don't all high altitude balloons explode whence they hit a certain altitude? Seems like a bad idea to use an extremely flammable gas and put it in a balloon that can have a high likelihood of exploding. But we cannot use helium as there's been a global shortage.. be interesting to see what happens
Thats SCAM!
Stratosphere ≠ Space
It would be cheaper flying in a SR-71 at mach 3 at almost that altitude.
Ye
Yeah, another hobby for the rich and another business hype. Please stop saying this has anything to do with science and aquiring knowledge!
amen
I wonder what happens if you stick a rocket on to balloons so that most acceleration is done outside atmosphere saving fuel
Rich flat-earthers like Kyrie Irving and B.o.B can pay for a group of them to take a trip. No reason why anyone should throw money at everyone who makes delusional claim.
Ik I cost money for this but if you think of it they should be paying you for going up because our life's are at risk not there's I would love to go to space. But that will never happen the world's to cruel and inhuman mean and I probably expire with a dumb dream☠️
A balloon would make more sense, and be way more enjoyable. Great concept.
You all can dine among the stars.
I'll be dining BENEATH them, the way it was intended. Good luck.💀☠️💀☠️💀
Sounds cool, but the price-tag is IMO ridiculous. If they sell tickets, then there will be competition soon.
It would be great to throw a party on that and I'm sure the very rich will indeed do such a thing. Bob.
Lol I can hear the flat earthers now
" o yea many be they modified the windows like a TV screen to make you think your seeing a curve but it's actually flat lol
2:57 this witch say thats when you will see the curveture of space at 120000 feet yet theres alread balloons with cameras at that altitude and it is a pancake.
less than 20 people have been to 'this part of the atmosphere'? what? what about the numerous astronauts who've passed by it on the way to space?
Flat earthers need to be the first ones on it
Nice
They tested this today in Hyderabad, Telangana.
Balloons are the overlooked technology that can bring regular people to the space experience. Balloons to the edge of space and beyond!
Seems like she’s trying VERY hard to prove flat earthers wrong lol
Lol yes we definitely need to get "Artists and Spiritual leaders" up there, then pop the balloon.
Your satan
@@davidlinton8421 *You're* welcome.
They should add a spacesuit with a platform ya know?
how can you go to space in a balloon? is this meant to make us believe? 😂 what they going have curved windows? haha
JAJAJAJA, cuando llegue la éra del astroturismo espacial, el terraplanismo se va a desmoronar desde su raíz, ningún terraplanista querrá subirse a esta maravilla para observar la curvatura, nisiquiera si algun rico se los ofrece.
Los terraplanistas hoy y en ese deseado momento, solo se limitaran a comentar maguferias en un acto de temor y desesperación, y tu eres la prueba viviente de ello.
Boy this brings memory’s one of the first books I read as a lad was about a bunch of kids ( aka famous five and at guess was written in the 50’s most likely based on the high altitude tests using balloons the US was doing at the time ) find a hybrid ballon/rocket then accidentally launch it and end up in space
And a bar with a bathroom.. this company is going to make some money
Very cool I would love to go. The pragmatist in me says I bet the business case (way expensive) and the actual engineering will have hurdles. Look at Virgin Galactic and their constant delays, and they don’t have to inflate huge balloons on windy days.
It's not exactly "space" according to the currently accepted standards (Karmen line)
Visceral. I'm not the only one. Thanks for the shot advice.
Comments saying that 100,000 ft isn't enough to see curvature are incorrect. Look up images of what 100,000 ft looks like, or you can search this video "Balloon with GoPro to Near Space"
the max height in that video is 90,000 ft and you can see the curvature of earth just like in the pictures the company is showing
I’ll never have the money in my lifetime, but if it were ever to work out that I could go, it would fulfill my lifelong dream of going to the stars. And I wouldn’t mind a bit if I never came back.
If you really put your mind toward getting that kind of money, you will.
I like this idea , seems joyfull to see earth from space.
They haven’t learned anything from the Hindenburg disaster. Hydrogen is an inflammable gas and the balloon could pop at the edge of the space due to the pressure difference. Like when the whether balloons reaches very high altitudes. Let’s say the balloon pops even though it’s made of very strong fibers. So, does the craft has the the ability to resist the burning from air resistance, parachutes to safely land and strong base to take the landing impact?
Id prefer to go by balloon! Not that i can afford anything like that price!! But its half the cost of the virgin flight and lasts 6hrs! How amazing would that be!! A rum and coke please, while i take in this view....
Sorry, don't fall for this rubbish! The Earth is flat! You're only going up 10,000ft and then you're looking out a simulated life like movie screen.
I imagine they could have different capsules. One lab capsule, different passenger capsules, wedding capsules. I could go on
Please book a seat for me!!
Just dont use a fish eye lens.... there are way to many fish eye lens videos on youtube.
I will send a rectalinear lens in space this april, and post it on my youtube channel. just wait for it:) i can tell you the result will be biblical
125k? That's my mortgage. No thanks.
Sounds cool but you can't see the curvature from that altitude according to Neil deGrasse Tyson.
So only 1/3 of the way to official space, inside essentially a high-tech hot air balloon and for only a 6 hours round trip. What I don't get is that such an experience is worth asking $125,000 USD per person. That's potentially $1,000,000 per flight. Give it 2 years and competition will knock off a zero. I don't see how there's any real barriers to entry. The engineering and and construction of such a capsule has to be something many in the aerospace industry can knock out within a year.
Not " space " 100,000 ft is a far cry from space which is achieved at 327,360 ft. or 62 miles . In other words what you're buying is a really really expensive and way overpriced balloon ride . I'll wait until the price comes down for an actual space trip where I can actually experience being weightless .
I thought about this idea a few days ago and now seeing this makes me feel iam not the only one😄
But where does that atmosphere end and the edge of space begin?
Scientists aren't exactly sure. There's even a debate over whether we should determine where Earth ceases and space begins - the UN and the US State Department believe we shouldn't make anything official.
We do have some general boundaries though.
Below is a graphic of the generally agreed-upon heights of Earth's atmospheric levels, the places where space is thought to begin, and the objects that reside there. Above Earth's surface, our atmosphere is divided into five layers, the troposphere, stratosphere, mesosphere, thermosphere, and exosphere. Chances are, unless you've spent time as a fighter pilot, you've never gone beyond the troposphere. And all humans have ever ventured beyond the thermosphere.
I think there should be a MANDATORY TRIP FOR ALL FLAT EARTHERS. I can imagine they all will be up there looking at the curvature of the earth, and still be insisting that the earth is flat and that a dragon is going to pop up over the horizon at any moment.
Statistics. As of January 2018, people from 37 countries have traveled in space. 553 people have reached Earth orbit. 556 have reached the altitude of space according to the FAI definition of the boundary of space, and 562 people have reached the altitude of space according to the American definition. not as you say 20 people ?
If the cost of space flight drops to say $10,000, that's when things will change. It will be a very expensive but attainable goal for many many people. It would also allow flat earthers to go up for themselves so that we can end this madness 😂
Dudd, clean up your act and get a hair cut!
Honestly I don't find it incredible for the price to pay, the space is small, I have the feeling of being in a business plane with larger windows. It would really be better with a large window with a more enveloping seat with an integrated parachute and the detachable dome in the event of a problem to release the ejection seats. The view would thus be more reassuring and more fun for the price.
Only getting on it if there's escape pods. String snaps, or balloon pops, even just non emergent situations, Im still Guna pop that pod before they decide on decending back down. I mean may as well make it worth if you're guna pay almost 150k a flight
I am too terrified to get in a little capsule like that, can we still use our phones up there?
This is the stupidest thing a person could do ....one mistake and everyone on this is dead because space does not wait for you to run it kills you in seconds
I'm ready to go ! Doug from Virginia 👍
I bet if young Vladimir Putin was taken to the stratosphere in that balloon he could probably experience a transcendental awe and couldn't had started any war. 😢
There could be another option to prevent the wars but that option would probably required to open the door in the open space
I’m getting a super scammy vibe from this operation. That whole biosphere two was a complete disaster of epic proportion’s. Anyone involved with that disaster is highly sus. You have been warned!
Me: I want to take a trip on this
Narrator: to take passengers to the stratosphere for 125,000

Mrbeast will be the first, yay
Weird it's like this company does not understand physics, they talk about doing research in space and show a sphere of water levitating at 04:00 thus implying that this balloon will allow 0g experiments even though it wouldn't be 0g unless they popped the balloon and free fell.
this should be advertised as

"billionarie suicidal mission 2"
"how to kill a billionaire, guaranteed, part 2"
