For about PHP 3.3 million pesos, space seems just a step closer. This 2016, World View Enterprises will be launching capsules into the rim of space. The 4 hour balloon ride will take up to eight individuals up via a huge weather balloon and will glide down to the earth’s surface.

To put the costs into perspective, Virgin Galactic charges US$250,000 for a single trip up to space which makes USD $75,000 a more attractive package indeed.
