Chapter 2741 The 'ship ticket' is surprisingly cheap
Everyone who listened to Wu Hao's explanation was a little excited, but it was just that, because for these customer representatives, this kind of manned spacecraft was almost prohibitive to them. They had thought about it in their dreams, but in the end the dream
It's a dream, it can't become reality.
Compared with this, they may be more concerned about the weapons and equipment they want to buy this time.
Of course, not everyone is not interested. For example, General Rashid from West Asia and representatives from several other West Asian countries and regions are very interested in the return capsule of the Walker spacecraft.
In recent years, various countries in West Asia have been very interested in the aerospace field and have been seeking cooperation in this area, such as carrying out some deep space exploration projects with other countries, or sending their own astronauts into space.
But these are professional astronauts. As rich people, they also want to travel in space, but they have never been able to do so.
So after seeing Wu Hao and his team's Walker spacecraft, which has the ability to send astronauts into the sky, and Wu Hao announced that it would be open to the private sector and abroad, these people's minds suddenly became active.
What conditions are needed to carry this spacecraft into the sky? General Rashid asked.
Hearing General Rushd's question, everyone couldn't help but look at Wu Hao. Although this dream was still too far away from them, there seemed to be no problem in being curious and looking forward to it.
Faced with everyone's curiosity, Wu Hao smiled and nodded and replied: "In fact, compared to professional astronauts, our requirements for ordinary passengers are relatively low. To put it simply, registration and reservations need to be made six months in advance, so that we can serve the passengers
Arranging a suitable rocket launch window takes time. Start preparations three months in advance and conduct some relevant knowledge courses and training. One month in advance, you need to participate in some basic adaptive training, mainly physical fitness and weightlessness.
Some sports precautions. You need to start final preparations one week in advance, such as conducting some assault drills, and start adjusting your physical condition to prepare for the upcoming launch. You need to arrive at the launch site three days in advance to make final preparations.
Work, preparing for the rocket launch phase.
Although there are professional astronauts accompanying the entire process and responsible for related work, the passengers do not need to do anything. However, the risk of manned spaceflight is relatively high, so just in case, we also need to make some simple arrangements for the passengers
training so that they will not panic in an emergency and can perform some basic operations.
In addition, they also know how to handle some special emergencies without being at a loss.”
How much is the overall cost? A representative from a small third world country couldn't help but curiously asked after hearing his introduction.
Hearing the representative asking about the price so directly, Wu Hao smiled, and then said very frankly: "This uncertainty mainly depends on where the passenger wants to go, how long they will stay in space, and even the weight of the passenger."
It has a big relationship. The heavier the patient weighs, it means that more fuel is needed to carry him into the sky, and more food may be consumed. The space suit he wears is wider than an ordinary space suit.
It takes up more space, so the price is more expensive than ordinary passengers.
Of course, on average, the price is not expensive. If you just go to space for two rounds, the price per passenger may be in the tens of millions."
Mi Jin? Someone asked immediately.
No, Wu Hao shook his head: "RMB!"
Hearing Wu Hao's words, everyone present looked surprised. When did space tourism become so cheap? This is unbelievable.
Of course, there are exceptions to the so-called space sightseeing ships developed by so-called commercial aerospace companies that can only experience the feeling of weightlessness for a few minutes near the Kármán line. Because that kind of technology and a real spaceship are two different things, and the difficulty is not the same.
Order of magnitude.
So cheap! Hearing Wu Hao's words, General Rushd showed a surprised look. He never thought that going to space would be so cheap.
Of course, the only ones who can utter such a sigh are the big bucks from West Asia. To them, this guy is incredibly cheap.
You know, Musk's Dragon spacecraft sent four space tourists to the International Space Station for a ten-day round-trip space tour. The price of a single "ticket" reached US$55 million, which is equivalent to RMB3.5
billion.
The price quoted by Wu Hao and the others was only about RMB 10 million. Although it only went to space and did not include the price of staying on the space station for ten days, this price was already very cheap, almost 35/30 of other people's prices.
First, how can such a price not surprise and make people crazy?
It was not only these big business owners who were surprised, but also the customer representatives from the third world, who all had expressions of surprise and fascination. For these people, if they wanted to pay a sky-high price for a ticket like Dragon Spaceship,
, of course they don't dare to hope. But the quotation given by Wu Hao and the others is within the reach of their customer representatives, which means that as long as they are willing, they can also go up, although the cost is huge.
But it's not an unrealistic dream, so it impressed them very much.
Seeing everyone's reaction, Wu Hao smiled and nodded, and said in a very positive tone: "Of course, this is just a basic quotation, which may be increased or decreased due to some individual reasons. And the time spent in space is different, the price
Naturally, it is different. If you want to visit the space station and stay for a few days, this is also possible, but you need to pay an additional fee.
But at present, our country’s space station has not yet opened tourism projects, so unfortunately, everyone cannot go to visit and live on it for the time being.
But this is only temporary, because there are relevant documents about the opening of the space station for tourism, and it depends on when it will be implemented. If you are willing, you can even become the first batch of tourists to visit our space station after it is opened for tourism.
Of course, if everyone is willing to wait, maybe in a few years, everyone will have the opportunity to travel to the moon."
Everyone, please come here! As he spoke, Wu Hao led everyone to a sand table model and introduced: "What you see in front of you is the sand table model of the lunar surface scientific research station we are building on the moon.
In the future, after our lunar scientific research station is completed, it will be open to the world. Not only will scientists and astronauts be able to conduct research there, but lunar tourism projects will also be opened to the outside world.
At that time, everyone only needs to buy a ticket to go to the moon for a romantic and fantasy journey. You can even take your newlywed bride up there for a honeymoon. It would be nice to experience the loving journey under microgravity.
