Half a million dollars to enjoy gourmet dishes 30 kilometres above the surface of the sea. That’s what Michelin-starred chef Rasmus Munk is offering in collaboration with SpaceVIP. Aboard the Neptune spacecraft, six explorers will have the chance to take part in an exceptional meal in space from next year.
he project could not be more ambitious. You will have to travel 30 kilometres above the Earth, aboard the SpaceBalloon of the space tourism company SpaceVIP, to savour gourmet dishes with a 360° view of the blue planet. The meal is orchestrated by two-star chef Rasmus Munk, who officiates at his concept restaurant ‘Alchemist’ in Copenhagen. The price tag for this extraordinary experience? 495,000 dollars…
A culinary experience in the infinite cosmos
Eat with your head in the stars. That’s what the space tourism agency SpaceVIP is proposing. In 2025, the meal will take place on board the SpaceBalloon belonging to its partner The Space Perspective. Named Neptune, the eco-responsible capsule that will welcome guests will be propelled by renewable hydrogen via a huge balloon, without a rocket, allowing it to float in the atmosphere. The spaceship has been certified carbon neutral by the company.
It will nestle in the stratosphere, 30 km above the surface of the sea, three times higher than a commercial aircraft. That’s enough altitude to admire part of the globe and marvel at the grandeur of the universe. Technically, space is 100 kilometres above the Earth.
