You Will Soon Be Able to Take a Balloon Ride From TUCSON Into SPACE

I would most definitely take a trip to space if I could afford it!

I mean could you imagine being able to see the stars??? The earth from space? INSANE! And soon to be possible!

The coolest part? The firm responsible for making this happen is here in Tucson, Arizona!

"A space tourism firm says it will be able to send you to the stratosphere in a balloon by 2024, but a single seat on the commercial flight will set you back $50,000. World View Enterprises is working on the balloon-based system in Tucson, Arizona, where it says it will take people up to an altitude of 100,000ft or 18 miles. This is some way off the 50 mile altitude NASA considers space, but World View says its passengers will see the curvature of the Earth and blackness of space."
