This space tourism company wants to take people to the stratosphere with a helium balloon for $150,000. See inside its capsule designed by a former Ferrari designer.

• Halo Space is a space-tourism company that uses helium balloons instead of rockets or jets.
• CEO Carlos Mira plans to launch commercial flights in 2026,  and take 10,000 people to the stratosphere by 2030.
• The company unveiled the interior of its capsule, designed by ex-Ferrari designer Frank Stephenson.

Halo Space was founded in 2021 with the goal of improving access to space tourism.

It would still be out of reach for most people, at around $150,000 a ticket, but by using helium balloons instead of jets or rockets, it’s cheaper and more sustainable than the likes of Blue Origin and Virgin Galactic.

CEO Carlos Mira believes his company can take 10,000 people to the stratosphere within the next six years. He said Halo will start commercial flights in 2026.
