Behind the story of the creation of Space Perspective from the CEO Jane Poynter

In interview with Farouk Nefzi, Poynter has emphasized that her experience inside Biosphere 2 was a key inspiration behind the founding of Space Perspective. Living for two years in a sealed, self-sustaining environment profoundly shaped her understanding of the interconnectedness between humans and the planet, and it sparked her lifelong commitment to sustainability and space exploration. With Space Perspective, she aims to offer people the life-changing experience of seeing Earth from the edge of space - from an altitude of 100,000 feet - aboard the luxurious Spaceship Neptune, a pressurized capsule lifted gently by a stratospheric balloon. The journey lasts approximately six hours and ends with a smooth splashdown in the ocean. Jane Poynter plays a pivotal role in advancing the future of space tourism, combining her deep knowledge of closed ecological systems and life support technologies with visionary entrepreneurship. Her mission is to make space more accessible and to offer people a new perspective on our planet — one that inspires awe, unity, and care for the Earth.
