one million?
Hearing this number, everyone present was stunned for a moment, then nodded, and then shook their heads.
How do you say this price? It's cheap. It's really cheap. Now, it can't cost tens of millions of dollars, or even hundreds of millions of dollars, to go to space. When converted, it is several hundred million. And now, Wu Hao directly said that they will reduce the cost of a single-person space trip to about one million, which is only one hundred thousand dollars in U.S. dollars, which is more than ten minutes than the Carmen line run by Laomi’s companies. The cost of a short pseudo-space journey of tens of minutes is even lower.
Of course, this may be related to exchange rate costs, but more importantly, it comes from Wu Hao's full confidence and cost control in reusable space technology.
Such a price, of course, can satisfy many people's dreams of space travel. After all, for many people, it is not much to spend one million on a space journey. There are also many such middle-class groups in China, so this ship has a huge potential market.
However, the reason everyone shook their heads is that the cost of this million is probably also a hindrance to most people. After all, for many people, their total net worth is not one million. Even if it is there, no one can ignore it, spend all his wealth on a few days of space travel, and then become a pauper.
For most people, the one-million-dollar space trip ticket is essentially the same as the tens of millions of dollars in space trip tickets. They can’t afford it anyway.
The only difference may make many people feel uncomfortable, regretful, and even painful. After all, for these people who desire, even though the dream is closer to them, they still can't reach it.
Of course, everyone present is also aware that this price may have bottomed out and there is no room for a drop. Although it still wipes out the dream of flying to the sky of a large number of people, there are still many people who have the opportunity to take a trip to space.
The price is not expensive, but I am afraid that many people cannot afford it. For me, if I want to achieve it, I am afraid that the little salary I saved will have to go in. An expert said with a wry smile.
Another expert continued with his words and laughed: "I just went in and studied the universe for a lifetime, a lifetime of spaceflight. If you haven't even been to space, it would be a pity and a pity."
That's right, if there is such an opportunity, one million is one million, if I am willing, even if it is just going up for a day, let me experience what weightlessness is like, let me see the earth through the hanging window. Another expert sighed.
The money is okay, I still have a little bit, but I don’t know how old we are, I can’t wait to get it. An old expert with gray hair opened his face and sighed.
Hearing what the expert said, everyone immediately looked at Wu Hao.
Seeing everyone looking at him, Wu Hao smiled and replied: "Your health is fine, it must be fine.
Our initial plan is to complete the first commercial manned mission within two years and send three passengers to space for three days. A complete set of space tourism industry chains will be established within five years to provide periodic space tourism projects. The preliminary plan is to send 60 to 80 passengers into space each year.
The price of space tourism will be reduced to about one million yuan within ten years. Of course, this is a goal, and it is uncertain whether it can be achieved. After all, we don't know what will happen to future price costs. "
Ten years, I don’t know if I can live to ten years. The gray-haired expert shook his head with a wry smile.
Another expert next to him patted his arm and smiled: "Okay, don't feel sorry, just our old guys, do we really have the conditions to be able to go to space? Let's not talk about the others, just Said that our current physical fitness can withstand the 56G overload of the rocket when it rises, and the impact of landing."
This expert's words are undoubtedly pour a pot of cold water on everyone's head. Indeed, their age and physical fitness can really hold it. Everyone asked themselves, and then they shook their heads one after another, and the dream was shattered.
Looking at the gloomy expressions on the faces of a group of experts and leaders, Wu Hao gave a helpless look at the expert who spoke, then smiled and high-fiveed and said, "Hehe, we have also taken this issue into consideration. In the future. If you want to engage in commercial space tourism projects, you will be faced with ordinary people, and your physical qualities will certainly not be as good as trained astronauts.
And for these travelers, I’m afraid they don’t have so much time and experience to conduct professional training for months or even half a year.
So this requires our manned spacecraft to be sufficiently comfortable, only in this way can it meet the needs of passengers.
How to make the riding experience more comfortable? First of all, the overload must be small, and only in this way can it be accepted by more people. In addition, the vibration, cushioning, sound insulation, and safety aspects must be perfect. Only in this way can we attract more tourists. "
Oh, according to what you said, hope has rekindled in our hearts. An expert familiar with Wu Hao laughed and said, this also environment the atmosphere in the hall.
If you don't undergo basic training, you can send these passengers directly into space. The risk is too high. If you encounter any problems, you are really anxious. An expert reminded.
Wu Hao smiled and replied: "In fact, it is not completely without training~EbookFREE.me~ Passengers who want to go to space still have to receive some training, but this training is definitely some basic training, it is impossible. The astronauts are so detailed.
Therefore, we compressed the cycle to one month, and carried out a series of relevant training and knowledge and skill training within one month before launch to deal with possible emergencies.
Of course, in general, each of these spacecraft is accompanied by professional astronauts. In most cases, these professional astronauts are responsible for all problems. Unless these astronauts are disabled, there is a chance of this, but the possibility is very small and very small. "
I heard that you are planning to build a commercial space station for this space tourism project? Zou Huanyi asked Wu Hao aloud at this time.
Yes, we are planning to build an international commercial space station. In addition to accepting some commercial scientific research tasks, we will also accept some travelers to this international commercial space station for short stays.
In fact, many companies have put forward their own ideas for such commercial space stations, and many companies have begun to implement them. We plan to use two to three years to build such a commercial space station.
