The Da Vinci Project

The Da Vinci Project is a very creative space craft developed by a group of Canadian companies and volunteers.

In order to significantly reduce the cost of launching from the ground, the De Vinci project first intends to lift space tourists to a height of about 15 miles using a hot air balloon.

From this distance the space craft's rockets will then propel the vehicle the rest of the way to outer space.
