- Ixabiso lokuhamba emajukujukwini elinexabiso eliphezulu elinokuthi libe nefuthe ekusebenzeni kwalo ngaphaya kwexesha elifutshane
- I-SpaceX, iVirgin Galactic kunye neMvelaphi eBlue zinentengiso ekujolise kuyo ene-0.7% yabemi behlabathi
- Kunokubakho ukunqongophala kwemfuno emva kokuba ukhawuleze wokuqala wamatikiti wanelisekile
Ngelixa i-2021 isethwe ukuba ibe ngunyaka wokuqhekeka kukhenketho lwendawo yokurhweba, ukusebenza kweli lixa le-hyper-premium kunye namava akhethekileyo ahlala engaziwa.
Uluvo lokuhamba emajukujukwini ngokungathandabuzekiyo luyonwabisa, kwaye oku kubonakaliswa yimfuno ephezulu yesikhundla esilinganiselweyo kakhulu esinokufumaneka kuhambo oluzayo ukuya-kwaye emaphethelweni esithuba. Intombi enguGalactic's spacecraft Unity ifumene ukubekelwa indawo kwamatikiti angama-600 kuhambo oluzayo, kuthengiswa ngamaxabiso aphakathi kwe-US $ 200,000 ne-US $ 250,000. Ukongeza, iJeff Bezos 'iBlue Origin okwangoku ivuleleke kwiibhidi zokufumana isihlalo kwinqwelo-moya yayo yaseNew Shepard ngo-2021, ngeyona bhidi iphezulu kungoku nje i-US $ 2.8m (ukusukela nge-20 Meyi 2021).
Ngokwenyani yindawo yokuhamba yexabiso eliphakamileyo elinokuchaphazela ukusebenza kwayo ngaphaya kwexesha elifutshane. Kude kube iinkampani ezinje nge-SpaceX, iVirgin Galactic kunye neBlue Origin zinokulinganisa itekhnoloji yazo ukuyenza ifikeleleke kubantu abangasisozigidi, ezi nkampani ziya kuba nemarike ekujoliswe kuyo ene-0.7% yabemi behlabathi. Xa ucinga ukuba uninzi lwabantu abanamaxabiso aphezulu baya kufumana umbono wokuhamba emajukujukwini kakhulu, le pesenti yomzuzu iya kuncipha nangakumbi. Oku kuthetha ukuba kunokubakho ukunqongophala kwemfuno emva kokuba ukhawulezo lokuqala lwamatikiti lwanelisiwe.
Ukulinganisa iteknoloji ukwandisa ukufikeleleka kuya kuba ngumqobo kwiminyaka ezayo. Ekuqaleni, iinkampani zothutho lwendawo ziya kufumana ukhuphiswano lokwahlulahlula kunamaxabiso. Umzekelo, ubude bohambo, inkonzo, intuthuzelo, kunye neembono ziya kuthatha isigqibo sokuba yeyiphi inkampani eya kuthi ikhokele kushishino lokuhamba emajukujukwini. Nangona kunjalo, xa ukukhula kumile kwimarike yokunethezeka, ezi nkampani kuya kufuneka zenze iminikelo yazo ifikeleleke ngakumbi. Enye indlela yokwenza oku kukudibana kunye nokudityaniswa, kodwa ngezikhundla eziphezulu zeshishini kwinkampani yezona ndawo kuthethwa ngazo malunga nokuhamba kwendawo, oku kubonakala ngathi akunakulindeleka.
Iziphumo zobhubhane kuqoqosho lwehlabathi zinokuchaphazela kakubi ukusebenza kokuhamba emajukujukwini. Ngokwedatha yamva nje, ingeniso eyilahlekileyo iphela yehle nge-4.3% ngonyaka-ngonyaka (YOY) e-US ngo-2020, esisizwe esinezona zigidi zininzi. Oku kubonisa ukuba nabathengi beendawo zodidi oluphezulu abavela kumazwe afumileyo banokuyeka amava axhonyiweyo kule minyaka izayo njengoko imeko yezemali ibuthathaka.
I-buzz ejikeleze indawo yokuhamba iyaqondakala. Umdibaniso wobunjineli obukumgangatho wehlabathi xa ushukuma kwaye uMhlaba kwimbonakalo yeentaka-zamehlo uya kufunwa kakhulu emva kwexesha elifutshane. Nangona kunjalo, imfuno inokuma njengoko iminyaka ihamba njengoko amaxabiso enganciphi kwaye imiba yokulinganisa ingaqwalaselwa.
INTO ONOKUYITHATHA KWELI NQAKU:
- Uluvo lokuhamba emajukujukwini ngokungathandabuzekiyo luyonwabisa, kwaye oku kubonakaliswa yimfuno ephezulu yesikhundla esilinganiselweyo kakhulu esinokufumaneka kuhambo oluzayo ukuya-kwaye emaphethelweni esithuba.
- A combination of experiencing world-class engineering in motion and the Earth from a bird's-eye view will be highly sought after in the short-term.
- The impact of the pandemic on the global economy could also negatively affect the viability of space travel.
