Spencer Kelly gets exclusive and first access to World View's new HQ in Tucson, Arizona. The ambitious space tourism company is offering trips to the edge of space via giant helium balloon for a $75,000 a pop. Complete with an on-board bar and piloted by a bona fide former ISS astronaut, the floating pods hope to provide passengers with a view of Earth from 100,000ft. Using their balloon technology, they aim to shoot satellites into space too which they say can be remotely piloted from Earth.
