Air balloon, space tourist and “uppity up” business mogul, Sir Richard Branson, is co-piloting the first crewed test flight of Space Perspective’s sojourn into near-space.
“I’m passionate about adventure and helping fellow entrepreneurs reach their business dreams. I look forward to dusting off my old ballooning license ahead of some magnificent test flights,” said Branson in a Space Perspective statement.
Branson is an investor in Space Perspective of Titusville, Florida, a group that is offering sustainable, stratospheric balloon travel.

Seeking adventure-seekers
Branson is no stranger to high-flying above Earth having broken two ballooning world records crossing the Atlantic and Pacific oceans in 1987 and 1991 respectively. Space Perspective has the potential to revolutionize balloon flying, he adds, opening a world of new possibilities for adventure-seekers all over the globe.
Branson will be aloft alongside the company founders, Jane Poynter and Taber MacCallum, high-tailing it above Earth next year.
