Chapter 151, Be the First to Try
"Hello, audience friends, it is 9:30 a.m. on May 20, 2020, China time. My current location is at the China Jiuquan Space Center. The first lunar tourism in human history is about to depart from here. People from all over the world A total of 11 top wealthy people will take a space plane to the moon from here to conduct the first lunar tourism activity in human history.”
"The world's richest people participating in the lunar tourism include Dennis Totti, Mark Suttleworth, Greg Olsen, Anush Ansari... Among them, Dennis Totti is the oldest one. Now 77 years old, Anush Ansari is the only woman among the 11 tourists. She is likely to become the first woman to travel to the moon in human history. "
"It is reported that the 11 world-class rich people participating in the lunar tourism will drive a lunar rover on the moon, visit the Chinese lunar mine, climb the lunar peak and other activities. Finally, they can choose a piece of food from the moon not exceeding 10 kilograms. The rocks serve as souvenirs of the trip, for which they will pay up to $100 million."
…
"Al Jazeera's reporter in China will bring you the latest news. The first lunar trip in human history is about to depart from the Jiuquan Space Center in China. Our Prince Mohammed will become the first person in Saudi Arabia's history to go into space. The first man to land on the moon.”
"NHK TV station will bring you the latest scientific and technological information in China. The first lunar tourism event in human history is about to begin. Kazuki Yamamoto of our country will become the first to land on the moon in history."
Here at the China Jiuquan Space Center, the world's news media are pouring in with news and are carrying out various reports. While other countries are still complacent about the success of manned spaceflight, China has begun to carry out various reports. In the industrialization of space, it actually took the lead in carrying out lunar tourism activities.
Inside the space center, 11 wealthy people from all over the world have put on anti-stress spacesuits. The very old Dennis Totti, Greg Olson and others have even left wills. After all, they are old. There are a lot of them. If there is any discomfort in space or on the moon, it is very likely that they will die in an instant.
It was my first time to travel to the moon, so I definitely couldn’t bring many things with me. Except for a camera and a virtual machine, I couldn’t bring anything else with me. Everyone seemed a little nervous but very excited.
Relatively speaking, Westerners are more adventurous. Among the 11 rich people this time, only one is from China, and that is Zhang Xianzu. He only participated in this moon trip to accompany him.
"What do you think of my space suit? It's handsome, made in China, and the most advanced space suit in the world."
"I'm about to board the aerospace plane and go to space. After flying around the earth for a few times in space, I will fly directly to the moon. Gee, it's really exciting."
Denis Totti took the camera hanging on his chest and started taking selfies. Then the camera was connected to the virtual machine, and he started posting the latest news on his personal homepage and social software on the virtual machine.
Naturally, the other rich people are not to be outdone. Many of them are rich people from technology companies. They are full of curiosity about these new things. The cameras hanging on their chests are all customized by world-renowned camera companies, and the prices are very high. Expensive, takes clear photos, and can connect to virtual machines.
They took photos or selfies and posted them on their personal homepages with various texts. Because of this trip, the number of followers on their personal homepages skyrocketed.
Soon, the time came to 10 o'clock, and it was time to set off. One by one, they walked out of the space center and came outside. Many news media reporters who had been waiting for a long time flashed countless lights. These 11 people are also considered important people. , everyone waved their hands again and again.
"As you can see, the huge aerospace plane in front of me is the Yutu A00142 that I am about to take to the moon. It is so huge that it feels very small in its area. This time it will also be used by China. Chang'e City transports a large amount of supplies."
Because there is a virtual machine, everyone can also upload what they see with their own eyes through the virtual machine, which means that their eyes are also a camera. At this time, these top rich people naturally have to upload it to their social software and personal homepages. Full coverage of the whole process.
There are no restrictions on China's side. Even on the moon, they can connect to the earth's network and perform real-time updates. The purpose is naturally to let them do free publicity for themselves.
These people are all world-class rich people. As long as they take this initiative, there will be no fear that no one will travel to the moon in the future. The space industry will be the first to open up in the form of tourism.
Although there were only 11 people, it should be 10 people in the real sense, Zhang Xianzu was not counted. This trip charged 1 billion U.S. dollars, and China was making a lot of money.
Anyway, we have to transport supplies to the moon. Bringing 11 more people didn’t have any impact on the aerospace aircraft in the past. When we get to the moon, it’s just about finding a place for them to rest and then taking them to the moon. After a visit, I calculated the cost. It doesn’t even cost 1 million Chinese dollars per person.
The huge cost of $100 million was earned by the Chinese aerospace department, and Zhang Xianzu's company was able to make a little bit, but compared with the relationships they used and the channels they opened, it can basically be said that they did not make any money.
Although it was only $1 billion, it seemed insignificant compared with the huge amount of capital investment in China in the early stage, but this was just the beginning, the beginning of the space industry, and the profit was quite amazing for the first time.
As long as this market is opened, lunar tourism will become popular in the future. This item alone is estimated to create a huge output value of more than one trillion US dollars every year. Of course, this cost will definitely continue to decrease in the future. $100 million is not something that ordinary people can afford.
11 wealthy people boarded the space plane. Soon, the space plane rushed into the blue sky with bursts of roars, and entered the space a few minutes later. The blue earth came into view.
"Mother Earth is so beautiful. I didn't expect that more than ten years later, I could see Mother Earth again in space!"
Dennis~Totti carefully felt the feeling of weightlessness while recording everything in front of him with his camera, and at the same time, he did not forget to broadcast live on his homepage and social software.
"Dennis, how does it feel in space?"
In the virtual machine, many of Dennis' friends sent him questions.
"It feels so wonderful, just like a virgin, making people linger. You must come to experience it in the future to make your life worthwhile."
Dennis can reply to all messages in seconds due to the power of the virtual machine. Like him, other rich people are not idle at this time. While chatting with friends through the virtual machine, they are excited to feel the charm of space.
These rich friends are basically rich people. They are deeply attracted one by one. They can't help but ask people to consult Huaxia about the relevant moon travel matters. Some people have eaten crabs first, and crabs have become delicious since then.
"Hey, Mr. Zhang, Bill, Mark, and Morgan have asked me for relevant information. I'll introduce you to them. They also want to go to space."
In the virtual world, Dennis, Zhang Xianzu and others were pulled into the same chat world. Soon, one by one, the world's heavyweights began to appear in this world. They were obviously attracted and began to ask about the moon travel.
On the other side, after the space shuttle flew around the earth for several laps in space, it adjusted its direction and altitude, slowly docked with the Tiangong space station, and began to replace batteries and add compressed air. In less than half an hour, the space shuttle began to fly around the earth again, and then headed towards the moon at a speed of more than 20 kilometers per second.
"Haha, the space shuttle is accelerating, and now the speed has reached 30 kilometers per second. This is the fastest vehicle I have ever ridden in my life. I will be able to reach the moon in about 3 hours. Let's take a look at the earth behind us. Have you noticed that it has become significantly smaller, and the moon in front is getting bigger and bigger?"
"Hi, Mark, don't just remember to do somersaults, come and say hello to everyone."
In the space shuttle, they should have been sleeping and resting at this time, but these 11 rich people couldn't sleep at all. Some of them did somersaults in the space shuttle, feeling the wonderful feeling of weightlessness carefully. Of course, more people used virtual machines to connect to the virtual world or the Internet and show off in their circle of friends.
If it were ordinary things, these rich people would naturally like to keep a low profile, but things like traveling to the moon, which attracted global attention, couldn't be low-key, so they simply broadcast live in a high-profile manner, updating almost every moment, and a large number of pictures, videos, etc., which increased their attention at a speed beyond imagination.
Ordinary people are full of yearning for space and moon travel. This time, every detail of their trip was broadcast live, with a large number of pictures, a large number of videos, and text descriptions, etc. Even many news media are following the live broadcast and publicity.
Suddenly, the popularity and attention naturally soared. Everyone's social software and personal homepage are increasing by millions of attention per minute.
And it's not just ordinary people who pay attention to them, but also many wealthy people. Many international wealthy people are adventurous and want to go to the moon.
