EADS Astrium space tourism
This may be the first space tourism commercial, at least the first I have ever seen.
Directed by Patrick Foch this spot is for the EADS Astrium project, a space ship for trips into space. This company makes public these days a revolutionary new vehicle for space tourism in Paris. The business jet sized craft is planned to carry four passengers 100 km up into space.
Paris, 13 June 2007 – Astrium has unveiled a revolutionary new vehicle for space tourism at a special VIP event in Paris ahead of the Le Bourget Airshow. This business jet sized vehicle is designed to carry four passengers 100 km up into space giving more than three minutes of “zero G” or weightlessness. Guests at the Paris event were shown a full sized mock-up of the forward section of the revolutionary craft including its Marc Newson designed cabin.
