World View, an Arizona-based company, is planning to offer tourists flights to 100,000 meters altitude in a gondola under a huge helium balloon starting in 2017.
Passengers will spend about two hours at altitude, where they can see the blackness of space and the curvature of Earth. The pressurized gondola is classified by the FAA as a spacecraft.
