Exclusive Proposal
DINING IN SPACE

 

Starting in 2026, a nighttime escape to a spaceport will offer you an extraordinary rendezvous with the stars!

 

Upon arrival, you’ll be greeted by a pilot and invited to board a sleek, spherical space capsule equipped with top-of-the-line amenities. At the heart of the cabin, you’ll find a table set with the elegance of Paris’s finest restaurants.

 

You’ll meet StellarEmbrace, a robot developed by ApoteoSurprise in partnership with a British startup. With a cheerful demeanor, the robot will warmly welcome you both by name and present your partner with a bouquet of roses.

 

StellarEmbrace will then reveal the amazing surprise in store: a space journey where you’ll share an unforgettable gastronomic experience!

 

The capsule doors will be sealed, and you’ll begin a gentle ascent, lifted by a helium-filled stratospheric balloon.

 

During the two-hour ascent, you’ll be treated to a peaceful journey filled with awe-inspiring sights. The large windows will offer breathtaking views and a unique perspective of our planet. As you near your final altitude in the darkness of night, you’ll see the sprawling urban lights and road networks below.

 

Inside the pressurized capsule, the lighting will adjust to match the flight phase. The ascent will be bathed in a soothing blue light, while StellarEmbrace serves you champagne, orange juice, coffee, tea, hot chocolate, and freshly baked croissants.

 

StellarEmbrace will be on hand to chat, answer questions, or even sing and dance. With its artificial intelligence, the robot will adapt its behavior based on your emotions, detected through facial expressions, tone of voice, and word choice. Be prepared for some playful surprises from this robot!

 

You’ll reach the cruising altitude of 35 kilometers just as the sun rises, above 99% of the Earth’s atmosphere. The view of our planet beneath you will be nothing short of enchanting. You’ll see the curvature of the Earth, the blue halo of the atmosphere, and the pitch-black expanse of space sprinkled with stars. This experience, known as the overview effect, is something only 600 people have experienced before you. You’ll feel a profound connection with humanity and your perspective on the world will be forever changed.

 

As the capsule’s lighting shifts to a warm, reddish-orange hue, StellarEmbrace will invite you to the central table. The robot will serve a five-course gourmet dinner, paired with wines, prepared by a renowned French chef with two Michelin stars: soufflé scallops, lobster and truffles duo, matured caviar with milk flower, honey-glazed roast supreme, and grapefruit crisp.

 

Throughout the meal, a carefully curated playlist will enhance the experience, featuring iconic tracks like "Space Oddity" (David Bowie), "Across the Universe" (The Beatles), "Rocket Man" (Elton John), and "Walking on the Moon" (The Police).

 

Just before dessert, StellarEmbrace will cheekily interrupt your meal, pretending that you’ve forgotten something important. You’ll play along, feigning a sudden recollection. The robot will then retreat briefly and return with a glowing chest straight out of a sci-fi film. You’ll enter a secret code on the chest’s screen, and a dramatic electronic sound will signal its opening. Inside, you’ll find a precious item: an engagement ring. As your partner looks on in amazement, you’ll propose, sealing your love in the boundless expanse of space!

 

StellarEmbrace will applaud and, moved to tears, share in your joy…

 

Later, the capsule will begin its descent, and two hours after that, you’ll return to solid ground, carrying with you memories of an unforgettable moment etched among the stars. And of course, the robot will have captured every moment, from your arrival at the capsule to your heartfelt farewell!
