After working for Boeing and the European Space Agency, Bloon’s founder and CEO Jose Mariano Lopez-Urdiales came up with this idea many years ago. His company, zero2infinity, has just received their first round of funding from one of Spain’s most prominent banks.
“The first people who described the earth as a blue ball were not in rockets. They were flying in balloons,” says Lopez-Urdiales. “A balloon stays for a longer time than a ballistic parabola. A suborbital vehicle is limited by the laws of ballistics and only lasts a few minutes. It can only last so long where the sky is black and the view is beautiful.”
