Chapter 850 Hot space travel, grabbing tickets is like Spring Festival
It's hot!
The global 24-hour travel consultation hotline opened by Weile Space Development was fully occupied at the first time.
At the same time, on the company's official website, the space tourism activity column page, hundreds of thousands of IP visits have poured in, and more and more have been visited over time.
I don't know if I don't see it, but I'm startled when I see it.
Before the completion of the Sky City, some news media invited so-called tourism experts to make careful calculations for the Sky City plan announced by Weile Aerospace Technology.
The calculations concluded that space tourism is quite not cheap.
Take the 'Tianyu' spacecraft of Weile Aerospace Technology to and from the 'Sky City', and take the cheapest economy class for only 10,000 yuan per person.
After entering the castle in the sky, you need to stay at least one day to experience life in space, right?
Therefore, the cheapest double room or standard room costs 888 yuan per hour, and the cheapest rice bowl or noodles plus drinks for three meals will cost about 200 yuan per meal.
If you add the cost of commercial insurance, physical examination, safety training, etc., it will cost at least 35,000 yuan per person, and if you stay in space for a longer time, the more expensive it will be.
Now, on the official website of Weile Space Development, the details of the 'space tourism' project are officially listed.
There are three types of tours, three-day, seven-day and ten-day tours.
Because of the activities, each way of playing is the total price after the discount.
Each project covers all kinds of round-trip spacecraft tickets, space five-star hotel accommodation, space buffet meals, commercial insurance, health examination and safety training, etc., and there is no other hidden consumption expenditure after one-time payment, but it is another to actively improve accommodation conditions, shopping, and experience the weightless environment of outer space.
The price of a three-day tour is 80,000 yuan, a seven-day tour is 120,000 yuan, and a ten-day tour is 160,000 yuan.
Such a price, of course, is too expensive for ordinary salaried people.
But there are more than 7 billion people in the world, and the net worth of tens of millions is even more incalculable.
Will the local tyrants care about this little money?
It's only 80,000 yuan, and it's still RMB, which is only more than 10,000 dollars when converted into US dollars.
It's so cheap!
It's so cheap!
With such a cheap price for space tourism, it is not even a drop in the bucket for some tyrants from the Middle East, North America and Europe!
Why?
Because before Weile Aerospace Technology built the 'Sky City', there were already seven wealthy people in mankind who had experienced space tourism.
The seven billionaires all arrived at the International Space Station at an altitude of about 400 kilometers above the surface in a spacecraft launched by a high-thrust rocket, and lived in the space station for nearly ten days before returning to Earth.
The first human space tourist in 2001 was a 60-year-old American businessman named Dennis Tito, who flew to the International Space Station on Roscosmos' SoyuzTM-32 manned spacecraft, at a cost of $20 million.
The seventh space traveler, Canadian Lalibert, flew to the International Space Station in 2009 on a Soyuz manned spacecraft, spending more than $30 million for a 15-day stay.
Moreover, the journey of these seven space travelers has not been easy.
Because they are all manned spacecraft boosted by high-thrust rockets into outer space, they are in a serious state of overweight during the rocket-boosted acceleration process.
Although they wore heavy, load-resistant spacesuits, they could not move in their seats, and had to passively endure the heart-rending pain.
Even after training and strengthening in advance, they still experienced nausea, dizziness, bone loss, and muscle atrophy.
After arriving at the International Space Station, they can only be limited to the International Space Station overlooking the earth and watching the stars, and cannot move freely, because the space station is too small, and it is even more inconvenient to eat, drink, and sleep, because there is zero gravity in space, and it is completely in a floating state.
Therefore, the so-called space tourism is really a painful and torturous journey, so the seven space tourists, they all have a unified characteristic, that is, they are rich and capricious, in order to realize the dream of space, so they are willing to accept training and go through the ordeal.
In short, in the past, space tourism was purely about spending money to find guilt.
But that's no longer the case.
The first is that the price is cheaper.
The offer given by Weile Space Development does not cost 20 million or 30 million US dollars, but only needs 80,000 yuan, and you can go to the sky city with a higher orbit altitude than the International Space Station to visit for three days.
The second is that travel conditions are better.
Weile Aerospace Technology, which is responsible for transporting passengers, exhibits the 'Tianyu' spacecraft as advanced and comfortable as in a science fiction movie, and passengers can enjoy the flight quieter and more comfortably than in the first class cabin of a large jet airliner.
Therefore, the age limit has also been relaxed to 8 to 65 years old, and people who are not pregnant, have no heart disease, no fear of heights, no motion sickness, seasickness and other symptoms can travel in space after simple safety training.
Finally, of course, the conditions for living in space are much better.
Because of the artificial gravity device, there is gravity in the Sky City, and passengers do not have to worry about discomfort in space life, such as constipation, and staying in hotels and eating in restaurants are far better than the treatment on the International Space Station.
……
Under all kinds of advantages, the first batch of 128 passengers to enter space was of course crazy to rob them!
July 1.
Qin Tian held a press conference to announce the official opening of the space tourism project, and in less than ten minutes, the first batch of 128 places were directly sold out.
As a result, those who call the hotline are completely in vain.
I didn't get a place on the phone, who is to blame?
The official website of Mingmingweile Space Development has a very clear introduction to tourism projects and various precautions, and they have to ask customer service as if they have 100,000 whys, and the hotline is about to become a popular science phone.
The rich and the rich are different.
At 0:00 a.m. on July 1st, Weile Aerospace Technology announced that the Sky City had been completed, and the prescient local tyrants knew that the tourism project would be opened soon, after all, Weile Group, as a private enterprise, always had to find a way to make a profit.
Therefore, in order to grab the first batch of places, the local tyrants ordered the assistant secretaries early to continue to pay attention to the official website of Weile Space Development.
So when the space tourism column page was hung out, the subordinates of the local tyrants of course did not hesitate to enter the order directly.
Who has time to read the precautions?
Fill in the information, the artificial intelligence will pay online immediately after the review is passed, and the ticket grabbing action is faster than the other.
Therefore, in 9 minutes and 13 seconds, the first batch of 128 passengers in the 'Sky City' was directly sold out, if it weren't for the fact that the information had to be reviewed, it would have been faster!
The departure time of the first batch of passengers is July 8, but they actually have to come to the headquarters of Weile Group to receive safety training one day in advance, while the second batch of passengers departs on July 10, the third batch is on the 12th, and the fourth batch is on the 14th...... They all depart on double numbers.
When the first batch of places is gone, everyone finds that the places in the next few days are still empty?
So what are you waiting for?
Grab it!
For a time, local tyrants all over the world took out the enthusiasm of grabbing train tickets for the Spring Festival and frantically snapped up space passenger tickets.
The cheapest ticket of 80,000 yuan can be sold out.
An hour later, all the tickets for July were sold out, and there were not many left.
The world was in an uproar when the news broke......
