Chapter 366

SpaceX Star Festival invited a few stars to perform. In addition to Michael Jackson, Celine Dion was invited to sing the theme song "my heart is forever" of "Titanic". Finally, Britney Spears, a popular girl from "the voice of America", was invited.

After several rounds of performances, Lawrence Paul stepped on the stage to host the Star Festival.

"Welcome, first of all, let me introduce SpaceX. The full name of SpaceX company is "space exploration technology company". Founded in 1991, SpaceX company is composed of aerospace technicians from the former Soviet Union. Subsequently, Mr. Henry Williams acquired Lockheed Martin, Hughes aerospace and communications, and Northrop Grumman. SpaceX may be just a new company, but the latter three companies are aerospace companies with a long history and strong strength. And our new SpaceX company is a combination of the space forces of these four companies to become the world's most technologically powerful and largest space company! "

"SpaceX company is always recruiting the best Aerospace talents in the world to join our company. So far, the total number of the company has exceeded 40000, more than the total number of employees of NASA, ESA and RKA of Russian Federal Space Agency. Moreover, the annual research funding is as high as 20 billion US dollars, which is three times that of NASA, four times that of RKA and five times that of ESA! "

"Today, SpaceX is holding this interstellar event, which mainly shows SpaceX's latest launch vehicle!"

"As we all know, the cost of launching a rocket is extremely expensive. At the beginning of its establishment, SpaceX company was determined to be the cheapest carrier rocket. In this regard, we have been working hard. As far as technology is concerned, we have been in the forefront of the world; As far as cost control is concerned, the cost of launching a rocket is about 100 million US dollars worldwide, while the cost of launching a rocket is at least 20 million US dollars cheaper! "

At the end of the speech, many people can't help but be surprised and show an incredible expression on their faces! Then, they began to talk about it.

Lawrence Paul raised his hand and motioned for silence. Then he continued: "this new carrier rocket is the second generation rocket of SpaceX company, called Falcon 2. It is a 35 meter long three-stage solid-liquid hybrid rocket. Its standard price is 75 million US dollars. If it is launched into low earth orbit, its maximum load is 20 tons; If it is launched into geosynchronous transfer orbit, the maximum load is 6.5 tons; If launched to Mars, the maximum payload is 3.1 tons! "

As Lawrence Paul spoke, the LCD screen behind him lit up, and a giant rocket, like the monkey king's golden cudgel, was lying on the playground, with no end in sight. There are nine launchers at the tail of the rocket. Each of them can put six people into it. A staff member is standing under the launch port, and compared with the rocket, it is very small!

Lawrence Paul looked down at the stage, with a confident smile on his face, and said in a loud voice, "if you choose SpaceX to launch multiple rocket missions, then the cost will be lower!"

After that, Lawrence Paul nodded to Henry. Henry then got up and went to the stage.

As soon as they saw Henry on the stage, they were quiet.

Henry took a microphone from an employee and bowed to the people.

"In fact, we not only showed you the falcon-2 rocket, but also showed you spaceships, satellites and so on. You must have seen it on the exhibition stand in the hall." Henry said, "have you ever seen that video about the future of space life?"

Henry laughed. "That video clip is exaggerated, but it may not be impossible to achieve it! In the past, human beings did not even dare to fly, but now, we have already realized the moon landing plan! "

"With the progress of science and technology, it is not a delusion for human beings to immigrate to the moon or even Mars. The significance of SpaceX company is to accelerate the realization of the great vision of human migration to space! "

As soon as Henry's voice fell, everyone was shocked.

However, Henry ignored the surprise and continued: "SpaceX company has set up the Microgravity Laboratory and the world's most advanced microgravity drop tower to carry out microgravity experiments such as fluid physics, combustion of non-metallic materials and liquid management, which provides a convenient experimental means for the on-board experiments of space vehicles and the pre research of fire prevention technology. Here, some people may not know what microgravity is, so I'll give a brief introduction. Microgravity actually means that the acceleration caused by gravity or other external forces does not exceed 10e-5 ~ 10e-4g, which is simply weightlessness, and microgravity environment refers to the space environment.

However, the cost of doing research in space is too high. The other way of research is relatively simple and crude, and that is to build a microgravity drop tower. Microgravity tower is actually a very high tower, as we all know, free fall will produce weightlessness, and weightlessness can create a microgravity environment. In this brief microgravity environment, the staff can engage in relevant research

Henry looked around the audience and said in a loud voice, "of course, SpaceX will build its own space station, and then carry out further research in the space station!"

"This time, we not only invited officials from aerospace departments of governments, but also sent invitation letters to many rich people. The reason for doing so is that SpaceX company is going to do a big project - space station tourism project! If any rich person wants to travel in outer space, he must contact us a long time in advance. Because space and the earth's surface environment is very different, the earth's surface is 1g gravity environment, and space is in a vacuum state, eating, wearing, living, traveling and so on are different from the earth. Therefore, the rich who want to travel in space must undergo special training to adapt to this microgravity environment! "

Henry said with a smile: "in the microgravity environment, you all become Superman, you can fly in mid air, you can bounce off a car weighing several tons with one finger... You can do all kinds of incredible actions. I think nothing is more wonderful than experiencing this kind of life in space! At the same time, you can enjoy the unique scenery in space

As soon as Henry's words were finished, many rich people on the stage were excited and their faces flashed with extremely eager expression. Henry knew that after his bewitching, many people would be willing to take part in space travel.

Immediately, a rich man asked aloud, "Mr. Williams, how much does it cost to take a sky trip?"

"20 million dollars!" Henry replied with a slight smile.

"20 million dollars?!" People are shocked. It's probably the most expensive tour in the world to travel with 20 million US dollars. Although they are all billionaires, they dare not spend so much money.
