Space travel is an honor in and of itself. But being in the height of luxury takes the experience to a whole new level—pun intended. The world’s only carbon-neutral spaceflight experience firm, Space Perspective, and Mercedes-Maybach have partnered. Space Perspective was founded in 2019 by Jane Poynter and Taber MacCallum. With their clever Spaceship Neptune, they have transformed space travel and made it safe and accessible for thrill seekers.
What role does Mercedes-Maybach play in this heavenly story, then? The luxury brand, which offers premium EQS SUV models, including an exclusive all-black variant, will serve as Space Perspective’s official transportation supplier. Rumors also suggest that the German high-end automobile manufacturer was involved in the pressurized capsule’s interior design. The illustrious automaker will transport Space Perspective’s customers using its electric cars.
According to Daniel Lescow, Head of Mercedes-Maybach at Mercedes-Benz Group AG, “our collaboration with Space Perspective will allow space enthusiasts to experience unparalleled luxury both on the ground and as they approach the boundaries of space.””Jane Poynter, Founder and Co-CEO of Space Perspective, shared that integrating our all-electric Spaceship Neptune with the all-electric Mercedes-Maybach signifies a sustainable and inspiration-rich future, enhancing the overall experience for our Explorers.”
Founder and co-CEO of Space Perspective Taber MacCallum commented, saying, “This alliance propels innovation and amplifies the strengths of both companies in electric automotive and space travel.” Using renewable hydrogen, spaceship Neptune will carry eight people on a six-hour cruise at a speed of twelve miles per hour. At a height of almost 100,000 feet, the enormous hydrogen-filled balloon promises a stunning ascent that will give passengers a view of the vastness of space and the curvature of the Earth.
