You've heard of spaceships, but have you heard of a space balloon (气球)?
A company is planning to use its new balloon to take tourists on a trip to the edge (边缘) of space.
Although the balloon won't completely enter space, this won't matter much to the tourists. That's because at 20 miles above the Earth, the tourists will feel like they're in space. The balloon works a bit like a hot-air balloon because they both use hydrogen (氢气). Hydrogen is lighter than the air so the balloon can go up. The balloon can come to a stop about 20 miles above the Earth, because here the air is no longer heavier than the hydrogen inside the balloon.
The company has tested the balloon without tourists and will take its first paying clients in the near future. Of course, the tickets are expensive. The trip will take up to eight tourists two hours to travel up there, two hours to enjoy the stay and two hours to travel back. The five-meter-wide tourists' room is below the balloon. It has special windows and they can stop tourists getting too hot from the sunlight. The tourists will be able to enjoy food and drinks there while enjoying the trip.
The company says its balloon is environmentally friendly. Jane, who set up the company, says the company is trying to make more common people reach space, not just highly trained astronauts.
