你有冒险精神和烧钱欲望吗?一家名为Orion Span的公司希望组织下一个旅行?外太空。
For just $9.5 million, Orion Span will take you on a 12-day journey 200 miles above the Earth’s surface to Aurora Station, what it’s calling "the first luxury hotel in space." The company expects to open the hotel in late 2021 and host its first guests in 2022. When operational, the hotel will host six people at a time, including two crew members.
“猎户座”Orion Span将以仅950万美元的价格,在地球表面以上200英里的近地轨道上高速飞行12天,这就是所谓的“太空中的第一家豪华酒店”。该公司预计于2021年底开业,并于2022年接待其第一批客人。在运营时,酒店将一次接待6人,其中包括两名机组人员。
During their stay … travelers will enjoy the exhilaration of zero gravity and fly freely throughout Aurora Station, gaze at the northern and southern aurora through the many windows, soar over their hometowns, take part in research experiments such as growing food while in orbit (which they can take home with them as the ultimate souvenir), revel in a virtual reality experience on the holodeck, and stay in touch or live stream with their loved ones back home via high-speed wireless Internet access.
在他们逗留期间,旅客将享受零重力的喜悦,在整个极光站自由飞翔,通过多个窗户凝视北部和南部的极光,在家乡上空翱翔,并参与研究实验,如在轨道上种植食物,并把它们带回家作为最终的纪念品,陶醉在全息穹顶上的虚拟现实体验,并通过高速无线互联网接入与亲人保持联系或与亲人直播。
"The hotel will orbit Earth every 90 minutes, meaning those aboard will see an average of 16 sunrises and sunsets every 24 hours," the company wrote.
“该酒店每90分钟将绕地球飞行一次,这意味着机上的人每24小时将平均看到16次日出和日落,”该公司写道。
Interested? Orion Span is accepting deposits for those wishing to book their stay. The "fully refundable deposit" will set you back $80,000.
感兴趣吗?Orion Span正希望客人进行预订和预存款业务。“可全额退还的押金”将向您返还80,000美元。
Before embarking on your journey to space, you’ll go through a three-month certification program. The first phase will be completed online, then you’ll head to the company’s Houston facility for in-person training.
在开始您的太空之旅之前,您需要完成为期三个月的“宇航员认证程序”。第一阶段将在网上完成,然后您将前往该公司的休斯顿工厂进行面对面培训。
Orion Span’s ambitions don’t end with operating a luxury hotel in space. "We will later sell dedicated modules as the world’s first condominiums in space," CEO and Founder Frank Bunger said in a statement. "Future Aurora owners can live in, visit, or sublease their space condo."
Orion Span的雄心壮志并没有以在太空中经营豪华酒店而结束。“我们未来将出售专用模块作为世界上第一批太空公寓,”首席执行官兼创始人Frank Bunger在一份声明中表示。“未来的Aurora所有者可以住,参观或转租他们的空间公寓。”
Meanwhile, another company trying to make space tourism a thing, Virgin Galactic, recently completed the first "supersonic, rocket-powered flight" of its Unity spacecraft. According to CNBC, it was the company’s first powered flight since 2019’s fatal Spaceship Enterprise crash.
与此同时,另一家试图进行太空旅游的公司,维珍银河集团最近完成了Unity飞船首次“超音速火箭动力飞行”。据CNBC称,这是该公司2019年Spaceship Enterprise崩溃以来的首次动力飞行测试。
