Chapter 367 (1/2)

(happy June 1)

”Those who want to learn about space tourism can consult Lawrence Paul, CEO of SpaceX later,” Henry said, looking up at the ceiling and thinking about it. ”If it goes well, the SpaceX space station will be built in about two years!”

At this time, officials with experience in the construction of the space station were all surprised.

Build a space station in two years, it's just a fantasy!!!

Some people scoff and retort loudly: ”Mr. Williams, I don't deny that SpaceX has the ability to build a space station. However, the international space station has gathered many countries around the world to build it together, but there is no guarantee that a relatively perfect space station will be built within two years. Why do you say that SpaceX can?”

Henry gave the man a smile. ”Of course, what I said is not empty talk, but I can't tell you why now, but you will soon know!” Henry immediately glanced across the room and said, ”SpaceX has never spared any effort in its investment in technology. SpaceX will certainly shock you!”

There's a lot more that Henry hasn't said. At present, many projects of SpaceX company are in the stage of research or approval, such as graphene inflatable capsule, rocket recovery, nano detector, ”solar storm” propulsion system, anti gravity, antimatter, ”star class” super Hadron Collider, etc

Let's talk about the ”solar storm” propulsion system. It's not uncommon to use solar energy as energy in the universe, but it's rare to use solar wind. The solar wind is a supersonic plasma charged particle stream emitted from the upper atmosphere of a star. Usually, the energy burst of the solar wind comes from solar flares or other climate phenomena called ”solar storms”. Its speed is within 200-800kms, which is tens of thousands of times higher than the wind speed on the earth.

”Solar storm” propulsion system is to use the solar wind to make the spacecraft navigate interstellar at an unprecedented speed, and reduce its dependence on fuel. For a simple example, it's like a boat sailing in a river, with headwind and tailwind“ The ”solar storm” propulsion system is to make the spacecraft ”downwind” in space!

This research was proposed by NASA in 2014, and the project scheme is called ”electric sail”, which is one of NASA's innovative advanced concept niac plans. In 2015, the ”electric sail” project entered the ”Mr. Williams, how can we believe it if you talk about it like this? Can you tell us something about it, so that we can have the bottom of our hearts! ” A rich man said, ”after all, there are so many countries building the international space station together, but you are the only company in SpaceX. If you really want to choose space tourism, we would rather go to the international space station!”

”That's right!” Many rich people can't help but agree.

Henry thought about it. If he didn't disclose it at all, who would dare to go? After all, it's an exaggeration for them to build a space station in two years.

Henry cleared his throat and thought about what to say.

”Well! Well, I'll let you know a little bit, ”Henry said in a loud voice.” SpaceX is going to develop an inflatable space capsule, and then dock with the space station to form an inflatable space station. Therefore, the construction speed of our space station will be very fast! ” In fact, the space station is a kind of manned spacecraft, and then the space carrier will put the components into orbit in batches and assemble them in space. SpaceX just needs to launch a large manned spacecraft, and then use the inflatable capsule, its components can be reduced a lot.

Henry thinks that the key factor for an inflatable space capsule is the material. Without graphene and high-strength synthetic fiber, it is impossible to make an inflatable space capsule. Henry is not afraid of other people competing with him!

However, as soon as Henry's words were finished.

The following burst into laughter.

”Mr. Williams, you're on a whim, and you're on an inflatable space station?! Ha ha... It's a big laugh. ”

”Hehe, if you touch the meteorite garbage, the space station will leak, right? Oh, my God, what a stupid plan

Rich people shake their heads and say: ”forget it, I won't travel. It's too dangerous.”

”It's the same with me. It's too insecure. I think Mr. Williams may be crazy, otherwise, how could he come up with the idea of building an inflatable space station? ”

”Yes, at least we should make the space station very hard, so that we can rest assured in it!”

“……”

Henry touched his forehead and sighed slightly. NIMA didn't trust himself. ”Everybody, I can assure you that the safety of inflatable space station is no worse than other space stations!”
