This is how black technology should be used

Chapter 248 The first manned flight of the Wooden Kite!
As a veteran astronaut, Deng Qingquan has never really been to space, but he has done a lot of training and has a lot of "practical experience".

Although he has not been to space, his teammates have been. After those astronauts return to Earth, they will share their experience with other teammates, and they will definitely use it when they go to space.

So before taking the Wooden Yuan, all his "experience" was riding on the Shenzhou manned spacecraft, and he only knew that it was very bumpy.

But after taking the wooden kite.

Bumps... what's that?
He just felt calm.

Of course, it is still worse than taking a civil aviation airliner, but for ordinary people, it is already acceptable.

As the Wooden Yuan gradually accelerated and rose, his thoughts were also diverging as he looked at the increasingly obvious curved horizon outside the window.

When he was in the team, he actually knew that his chances were not great. After all, the second and third batch of astronauts were more energetic and superior than him.

Although he has been exercising all the time, he also knows his own affairs, and began to think about retiring. As a result...

That sentence is true.

"A person's success depends not only on his own efforts, but also on the process of history."

That's how he is now.

At first he missed the mission of the first batch of astronauts, and later the second and third batch of astronauts also grew up, and his position was awkward. No matter how hard he tried, it would be useless if he didn't catch up with the time.

I thought I was going to retire with regrets, but I didn't expect the explosive development of Fanxing's technology, aerospace planes and commercial space flights to appear!

It's just that because the development is too fast, there is no time to train commercial astronauts, so the status of these older retired and near-retired national team astronauts has been highlighted.

Such is the course of history!

Now he has carried out the dream of flying missions, and personally verified the impact of aerospace aircraft on the human body, proving that even older ordinary people have the opportunity to enter space.

He also knows that he has regrets, and that some people have bigger regrets than he does.

As an astronaut, he is actually a "halfway monk", because he was a fighter pilot before, and aerospace is completely two fields.

However, some scientific researchers have been in contact with aerospace since the beginning of their studies, and then they have dedicated their entire lives to the aerospace industry. The aerospace equipment they built is all flying in space, but they have never touched space.

That's a real regret!
At the beginning, manned spaceflight was very dangerous and the requirements were strict, so the best astronauts had to be selected to enter space.

Later, manned spaceflight technology matured, but because the cost was too high, manned flights were only available for special missions.

Now the manned spaceflight technology is more mature, and the Freedom Federation has commercial spaceflight, but the price is still not cheap.

Let's not talk about whether the starry old aerospace experts can go to space on the commercial manned spacecraft of the Freedom Federation, even if they can, but the ticket price of several hundred million can't afford it.

With those hundreds of millions, many projects can be done in aerospace engineering.

Even their age is not young, whether their physical condition can bear it is also a problem.

But now, the old aerospace experts have their chance.

As a contracted astronaut of Practical Science and Technology Aerospace Company, Deng Qingquan knows quite a lot about Mu Yuan, not to mention the current comfortable ride experience, even its ride price, which is absolutely unimaginable to outsiders.

In the past 60 years, nearly 600 people around the world have successfully reached the mysterious space beyond the earth, but the vast majority of them are professional astronauts, while ordinary tourists only have about 10 people.

The space tourism project began more than 20 years ago. At that time, a billionaire from the Free Federation spent 2000 million federal coins to take Lucia's "Soyuz" spacecraft to the International Space Station for an eight-day space trip.

However, due to the high cost of space tourism, only the top rich can experience it, and ordinary people don't even have to think about it, so it cannot be widely popularized, and it was once considered as entertainment for the rich.

Until the past two years, Virgin Galactic, Blue Origin and Interstellar Exploration launched suborbital and orbital commercial space tourism test flights. The company flies people into "space", and these 3 companies have successfully sent "civilians" into space.

At the earliest time, Virgin Galactic successfully sent five crew members including the founder Bronson into "space". Later, Blue Origin, the founder of Amazon, also successfully completed the "space" mission.

However, these tourists have just flown over the Karman line, just touched the edge of space, and some have not even flown over the Karman line, and only experienced the feeling of weightlessness for a few minutes before falling back to the ground.

So whether they are real space tourists or not, everyone has their own understanding.

Anyway, the two companies and those tourists think they are!
After the successful test flight, Virgin Galactic has sold more than 45 tickets with a price of up to 700 Federal currency, and Blue Origin has also sold a lot of tickets with hundreds of thousands of Federal currency.

Compared with these two "sideline" companies, Emmalon's Interstellar Exploration Company is much more successful. It used the company's Crew Dragon spacecraft to successfully send 4 ordinary passengers into space orbit, completing the first universal mission. A space mission with a crew.

The manned Dragon spacecraft is a special model for space tourism. Instead of docking with the International Space Station, a large curved porthole is installed on the docking port. Watching the space scenery from there is quite shocking!

Of course, the ticket prices for these four real space tourists are not cheap, about 4 million federal currency per seat, which is equivalent to 5500 million of the stars.

Enough for a certain boss to run away with his sister-in-law.

And don't look at the figure is more expensive than the 20 million federal currency more than 2000 years ago, but in terms of purchasing power, it is indeed cheaper than then.

Of course, it still corresponds to the rich.

Therefore, commercial space travel has a new beginning, but it is only the beginning, and the high ticket price is not affordable for ordinary people.

Even for a suborbital "edge ball" space tour, the ticket price is still hundreds of thousands of federal dollars, which is not affordable for ordinary people.

Even a few minutes of weightlessness experience, if you don’t really reach space orbit, you dare to ask for hundreds of thousands of federal coins, and not many people will buy this kind of service.

Hundreds of people, not a large scale.

So as long as this manned flight test is successful, the commercial space tourism project of Practical Technology Aerospace will definitely kill the entire related market!

In this regard, Deng Qingquan has absolute confidence!

Just thinking about this, he suddenly felt light in his body.

If it wasn't for the seat belt, he might have floated out due to inertia.

This sudden change made him a little uncomfortable.

Just a moment ago, he was pressed heavily on the seat, and was shaking with the shaking of the plane, but now he is about to float easily, and his unrestricted arms have already floated. This rapid change is quite illusory .

"Is this... entering space orbit?"

Deng Qingquan was a little unbelievable, and then looked at the data, and found that the flying speed of the Mu Yuan had indeed reached the first cosmic speed.

At the same time, cheers broke out in the ground command center immediately, and the whole ocean was filled with joy.

The barrage in the live broadcast room was also filled with amazement.

"66666!"

"Ah, beef batch!"

"..."
