I love balloons, but calling it a "spacecraft" is a bit misleading. Still sounds like a fun ride, though.

They'll get some <billionaires for only $125k! I think the only devil's advocate I can play for this balloon ride is that it's cheaper than the rockets and might give some bozos some empathy from the overview effect.
