How about giving a spaceflight for a holiday present?

By General Aviation News Staff · October 28, 2015 ·

World View, the commercial balloon spaceflight company, has been included in the Neiman Marcus Christmas Book as one of 10 Fantasy Gifts.

NMO5645_mxThe Christmas Book includes an exclusive World View package available only to 10 Neiman Marcus customers that features the opportunity to be a part of a World View test flight.

Each $90,000 package also includes a private tour of Biosphere 2 with original crew member and World View CEO Jane Poynter, along with a ticket to be one of the first to see Earth from the company’s pressurized capsule.

Passengers will have one to two hours to enjoy a view only a select number of people have been able to behold. Floating 100,000 feet above Earth, passengers will have access to wireless internet, an in-flight bar and a lavatory.

    O.K. What holiday do you give someone a present??? Let’s see, maybe CHRISTMAS. I can’t believe you guys have gone politically correct. I can assure you I will not read your site again or buy anything from anybody that advertises on your site. And the companies that I usually buy from that advertise with you will get a call and i will let them know why. I can’t believe an aviation site would do this.
