Chapter 693: Grab the business!
Since the failure of the Artemis lunar module in the manned lunar landing race in June, and NASA's loss to the Xinghai Research Institute and the need for an opponent to carry out space rescue, the entire space field has fallen into a downturn.
As a space power that has lasted for more than half a century, the pride formed in this field is deep in the bones.
But it is clear that after the launch of the Artemis program, the NASA authorities did not live up to everyone's expectations.
Not to mention landing on Mars, they almost failed to land on the moon.
If it weren't for Huaguo's Xinghai, their astronauts would have even died on the moon.
Although the vast majority of the people of the United States do not think that China has comprehensively surpassed them in the aerospace field, at least, there is no doubt that the other party has caught up in the aerospace field.
Under such circumstances, it is naturally difficult for the people of the United States to arouse their passion and pride in the aerospace field.
It can be said that almost most people are angry on the Internet to criticize NASA and NASA, believing that NASA has tens of billions of dollars a year but has no development.
After all, in the 60s, the United States completed the first flight of the Saturn V, with a low-earth orbit carrying capacity of up to 140 tons, and the success rate reached the terrifying 13 missions and 13 successes, a 100% success rate.
Even, in the last century, they sent people to the moon, leaving behind a large part of the world.
And now, decades have passed, and their return to the moon almost failed, which can be said to have almost hit the confidence and belief of the people of the United States in the field of aerospace.
This negative situation was not alleviated until NASA reissued a press conference two days ago.
The commercial spacecraft SpaceXCrewDragon will embark on a 24-hour space journey in a week aboard a former astronaut and three guests.
Even at the press conference, NASA Administrator Pilson publicly declared that space travel may become the norm for NASA in the future.
This news has undoubtedly attracted the attention and discussion of many netizens.
After all, in the usual history, whether it was manned spaceflight or manned landing on the moon, strictly speaking, it had nothing to do with ordinary people.
After all, almost all astronauts are selected internally, and they need to undergo a long period of physical training and exercise before they can board the spacecraft and carry out space missions.
The huge acceleration brought by the launch of traditional chemical fuel launch vehicles is also a load that ordinary people can hardly bear.
The "SpaceXCrewDragon" commercial spacecraft is completely different, except for a former astronaut, the rest of its space missions are ordinary people who have not undergone rigorous training.
Although the amount of money spent is still good, which is an unaffordable cost for ordinary people, at least in terms of technology, the normalization of manned spaceflight, ordinary people have become a possible way to achieve space tourism.
As for the cost, it can only be said that every new technology that emerges will almost always be expensive at the beginning.
Just like mobile phones and computers, in the last century, they were only used by the government or the super-rich, and today, not to mention a mobile phone and a computer, it is not far off.
Even for many people, it is normal for each person to have two or three or even more mobile phones and computers.
So this report from NASA immediately caused a lot of discussion on Facebook, Twitter, blogs and other websites.
[Space travel? Can ordinary people do it? γ
[It's so cool, it's so cool, if I can take to the sky in a spaceship, then it's probably the best moment of my life!] γ
[It seems that NASA has not completely disappointed us, and it is time to start the real space age one step ahead of other countries!] γ
[The "SpaceXCrewDragon" spacecraft is more than just a spaceship! It is the future of humanity! Because only when a technology can be popularized by the whole population can it be truly developed! γ
[But 65 million meters of gold is so expensive! ] At this price, I am afraid that it can only be a toy for the rich. γ
[It doesn't matter, the emergence of any new technology is expensive, but we can wait, can't we?] It will only take a few years or more than ten years, and I believe it can be reduced to the point that everyone can bear. γ
[I heard that according to the theory of relativity, traveling in space makes people younger, because time passes slower in space than on the ground!] γ
[I hope the price will be reduced, if it can be reduced to 100,000 meters of gold once, I must go up once! ] γ
One stone stirred up a thousand waves, and many netizens on the major social platforms of North America were excited by the 'space travel' program officially launched by NASA.
Ordinary people can also travel to space and look down on the Earth from hundreds of thousands of kilometers, or even more distant from the moon, which is undoubtedly a huge attraction for the vast majority of people.
The heated discussion was not only on the extranet platform, but soon, under the reprint of some video bloggers, technology bloggers or people with ulterior motives, the press conference of space travel was quickly transmitted to Huaguo, attracting the attention of many people.
[Space travel? Can ordinary people go up without physical training? If you really want to, you'll be awesome! γ
[Didn't you say that space travel is physically demanding? γ
[Yes, the ultra-high acceleration during launch is unbearable for most people, so the strength of the United States in the aerospace field is still strong, and the implementation of the manned landing on the moon is just catching up. γ
[I looked at NASA's press conference, and there was actually an old man among the three people who went on a space trip!! I hope that when I get old, I can have a healthy body and enough money like him, and I want to see it in my lifetime! γ
[Awesome, aren't you afraid that Yoneda will be pressed out when it is launched? ] γ
[Tell me the price and let me die!] γ
[65 million meters of gold alone, according to the current exchange rate, close to 300 million. γ
[Can't be provoked, farewell! ] γ
Compared with the masses on the Internet, domestic netizens pay more attention to the price of space travel.
The press conference held by NASA this time can be regarded as an 'official price' for the current 24-hour space travel.
65 million meters of gold!
This price makes many people smack, it is worthy of space travel, it is really crazy!
While netizens were discussing this matter, on the scarf, a picture posted by a blogger called 'Shanchuan Hehai', who was officially recognized by the scarf as the "father of controlled nuclear fusion", "academician of the Academy of Sciences", "academician of the Academy of Engineering" and other titles, once again set off a shocking wave on the Internet.
"Space Journey!"

"Space Overview"
The content of the scarf is very simple, just four words, and then it is accompanied by a few pictures.
But netizens who paid attention to the news went completely crazy.
γit!γ It's the god of Chuan! The long-lost Kawajin! A living Kawajin! γ
[First! γ
[Mom, the old man actually remembered the password of his scarf account? γ
[Kawajin, Kawajin, have you talked about aluminum friends? May I? γ
[Wait, don't you all see what Kawajin sent or something? γ
γ? Space travel? Academician Xu, did he go to space? γ
[Awesome! This is a photo taken on the Star Ocean, right? Outside the window is the earth hemp? γ
[Confused, just now I was still discussing that NASA's space travel can be on ordinary people, aerospace technology is awesome, and now Kawajin and his old man ran up directly???? γ
γKawajin. Is he so physical? Can go to space on the space shuttle??? γ
[Isn't it?] Aren't those who engage in scientific research generally weak and can't help it? γ
[That's a technological breakthrough!] I've heard before that the Xinghai Space Shuttle can also be used by ordinary people, but now it seems that it should be true, and the technology must be quite reliable, otherwise it would be impossible for Kawajin to go up. γ
[Hiss~, since the god of Sichuan can go up, then we must be able to go up too! Space travel for ordinary people is not a dream! γ
The discussion among netizens is not over, and the scarf account of Shanchuan Hehai has released a new message.
"Space travel, moon travel, Mars travel?"
"Not 65 million, not 55 million, just 1,998 (10,000), you can experience a 'space trip' that is no different from doing an ordinary airplane!"
"Those who are interested can register in advance on the official website of Xinghai Research Institute! We will conduct a screening! β
Note: Applicants must be adults and in normal health, with no hidden diseases; And pay for space travel in advance! β
"All the right of interpretation belongs to the Xinghai Research Institute and myself, thank you for your attention!"

A short piece of text, along with several space photos of Prince Faisal and UAE representative Abdul Rahman, was also illustrated in the blog post.
Under the picture, there is also a small piece of text.
"A warm welcome to our first visitors, Prince Faisal from Saudi Arabia and Prince Ahmed Abdulrahman from the UAE!"
