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 enjoy a peaceful journey filled with awe-inspiring sights. The large windows will offer breathtaking views and a rare perspective of our planet. As you near your final altitude in the darkness of night, you’ll see the sprawling city lights and the delicate web of roads below.

 

Inside the pressurized capsule, the lighting will shift to match each phase of the flight. The ascent will be bathed in a soothing blue glow, while StellarEmbrace serves 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 advanced artificial intelligence, the robot will adapt its behavior to your emotions, detected through facial expressions, voice tone, and word choice. Expect a few playful surprises from this delightful companion!

 

You’ll reach a cruising altitude of 35 kilometers just as the sun rises—above 99% of Earth’s atmosphere. The view of our planet below will be absolutely spellbinding. You’ll see the curvature of the Earth, the ethereal blue halo of the atmosphere, and the black expanse of space scattered with stars. This profound experience, known as the overview effect, has been felt by only 600 people before you. You’ll sense a deep connection with humanity, and your outlook on life will be forever transformed.

 

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, crafted by a renowned French chef with two Michelin stars: soufflé scallops, lobster and truffle duo, matured caviar with milk flower, honey-glazed roasted supreme, and grapefruit crisp.

 

Throughout the meal, a curated playlist will elevate 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 you've forgotten something important. You’ll play along, feigning sudden recollection. The robot will briefly disappear, then return with a glowing chest straight out of a sci-fi film. You’ll enter a secret code on the screen, and a dramatic electronic sound will signal its opening. Inside, you’ll discover a precious item: an engagement ring. As your partner looks on in astonishment, 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. Two hours later, you’ll return to solid ground, carrying with you memories of a moment truly etched among the stars. And of course, the robot will have captured every second—from your arrival to your final farewell!
