Space Perspective

Florida startup that planned to lift tourists to the stratosphere in a pressurized capsule under a giant balloon. It ran short of cash in early 2025 and was bought by Spain's EOS X Space that July; it had flown only an uncrewed test flight. (1 product in the atlas)

Near-space tourism, not spaceflight: the balloon stays far below the altitude usually counted as space. Listed because it sold itself as edge-of-space travel.
