JAKARTA - Restaurants with the best views in the world may be commonplace, but no one can offer this kind of experience. Rasmus Munk, Michelin-star chef of the Alchemist restaurant in Copenhagen, Denmark, announced it would give customers the opportunity to enjoy dinner at the end of space.

Six lucky people - and certainly very rich - will have the opportunity to ride a'space balloon' as high as 100,000 feet (3.5 km) above sea level next year.

During this six-hour experience, each guest will be presented with a 'hidangan inspired by the role of space exploration'.

However, at a fantastic price of 495,000 US dollars (around Rp 7.4 billion) per ticket, this experience of eating at a restaurant with unlimited views (signally) is of course priced at exorbitant prices.

The culinary expedition will take place aboard Spaceship Neptune owned by Space Perspective. Although its name sounds like a real spacecraft, Neptune's Spaceship is actually a pressurized capsule hanging under a giant hydrogen balloon.

Without a rocket or jet engine, this flight is expected to be calm enough so anyone can join without the need for special training. The balloon is planned to take off from Florida at 12mph (19 km/hour).

At the highest point, guests can see Earth from below through the largest window ever brought into space.

According to Chef Munk, dinner will be served when guests watch the sun rising above Earth's curves. Most importantly, he emphasized that the vehicle will not enter microgravity during flights, so guests and food will not experience weightlessness.

Guests will be served their dishes on Spaceship Neptune owned by Space Perspective, a pressurized capsule that can accommodate eight passengers and a pilot.

Although the details of the menu are still kept secret, the organizers said the dish would not be cooked using an open fire.

Given the size of the capsule is small, it is not clear whether the food will actually be prepared inside the vehicle or only served there.

However, if you follow the previous Alchemist menu, this dining experience will certainly display many unusual cooking techniques.

Previously, the Alchemist menu they refer to as'mess' had served wood ants served in sweets, cod eye gels, and covering dishes served in silicon heads.

In 2010, this restaurant even created a special herbal flower dish for the Japan Space Agency.

Apart from being luxurious, the mission to send six people to dinner in space also wants to promote their social mission. Guests will be taken to the tip of space with the world's first 'carbon-neutral spacecraft'.

All ticket sales proceeds will be donated to the Space Prize Foundation, a charity dedicated to increasing the role of women in the space industry.

Alchemist juga berharap bahwa pengalaman melihat Bumi dari atas akan menjadi 'pengingat yang serius bahwa keberakatan kita terkait saling.'

Currently, Space Respectives hasn't launched its first commercial flight yet, but they hope to do so before the end of the year. If successful, the company could join a number of other companies competing to offer the first batch of space tourism.
