How sci-fi is Musk's starship program? Even though it has been blown up several times, Musk is still full of beautiful expectations for his Space X starship, threatening to launch another 12 More Space X starships in 2022.
On May 28, 2020, when Space X was launched, Trump was embarrassed at the scene to praise Musk as the "strongest brain".
In Musk's vision, he wants to build Space X into a "space luxury cruise ship" between Earth and Mars, and its internal living facilities are also luxurious and sci-fi, just like sci-fi blockbusters come true, let's take a look at the internal configuration of Space X.
Musk, as the owner of Tesla Motors, also "moved" the panoramic sunroof to Space X, and in the front of the Space X spacecraft, there is a panoramic skylight called Copula, which can see through the skylight, the earth and space.
Below the viewing area is the occupant activity area, and then below is the gym, and it is necessary for the occupants to exercise daily in the weightless state. Astronauts from all over the world who have previously entered space have also been required to exercise daily. Because in the weightless environment of space, the human cardiovascular system will change, the muscles will atrophy, and the longer the flight time, the greater the impact of weightlessness on the astronaut's body.
Below the gym are the occupants' sleeping pods, a total of 50, quiet and comfortable, with entertainment facilities.
The multi-purpose area is in the middle rear of the hull, which has a toilet and a radiation protection area. Life support functional areas such as cargo and water tanks are cleverly distributed on both sides of the hull, maximizing the use of space.
At the rear of the hull is the power compartment work area.
At the same time, a huge elevator in the center of the hull, the crew can quickly reach all parts of the hull through the elevator, the space X spacecraft is very spacious inside, even if it carries 50 people, it will not appear crowded, and it will not be inconvenient to move, worrying about floating and bumping into the head.
In addition to showing all mankind the bright prospects of the field of commercialized human spaceflight, Space X has also helped the United States get rid of Russia's restrictions on the United States in the field of space for many years. Everyone here may feel strange, all along I have heard that the United States has monopolized and restricted the high technology of other countries, how can the United States still be restrained by Russia this time?
It turned out that the United States had decommissioned the last manned space shuttle in 2011 before that, and since then relied on Russia's Soyuz rockets to transport American astronauts to the International Space Station, Russia took the opportunity to slaughter the United States, and the "ticket" of the Soyuz rose all the way, from the initial $20 million a seat, to the later $80 million a seat. And Space X to transport an astronaut into space costs about $55 million or so, or relatively cost-effective, but also can be reused, Musk this time let the United States can be said to be "a snow shame", no wonder Trump saw the Space X spacecraft launched successfully, joy overflowing with words, even praised Musk is the "strongest brain".
