"Starry Sky Inn, that's the name of Earth's first commercial space station!"

"In ancient Tianxia, the position of an inn was equivalent to that of a hotel today. People back then must have looked up at the starry sky. I wonder if they ever thought about opening an inn in space."

"Whether the ancients thought about it, we really don't know, but people today definitely have thought about it, and it will become a reality next year!"

"I say its single pressurized space will be the largest in the world, and you might not believe it, so let's take a look."

With that, Tang Chao stepped aside slightly, giving way to the big screen.

He pressed the remote control in his hand, the lights in the venue began to dim, and the noun introductions on the big screen behind him were replaced by a promotional CG.

Promotional CGs are worth every penny.

In the video, the Starry Sky Inn was loaded into the huge fairing of the Faraway Voyager rocket and sent into space orbit with the sound of a countdown.

In orbit, its solar panels unfolded, and then the camera turned inward, entering the space station.

As a commercial space station, it is decorated with high-end style, without the various scientific research equipment and messy wires of a scientific research space station, making the space inside the Starry Sky Inn look very spacious and simple.

In fact, it is really spacious, because the space inside is divided, with a corridor in the middle and guest rooms on both sides.

According to the comparison with tourist models, the audience found that the corridor and guest room spaces are not small, and each guest room has a separate bathroom and a porthole facing the Earth.

In addition to private guest rooms, the Starry Sky Inn also has public areas, including a gym, a restaurant, a viewing room, and so on.

Finally, the camera came out of the cabin, zoomed out, and froze on the photo of the Starry Sky Inn and the Earth.

The promotional video ended, the lights came on, and the applause rang out in the venue.

"Clap clap clap clap clap~"

Tang Chao walked up with the applause, and the people below were full of curiosity.

The promotional video just now was very exquisite, and the picture quality was good, but some things were not explained clearly.

For example, how big is the Starry Sky Inn, and why is it divided into so many cabins?

So many cabins will definitely accommodate many people, but they didn't see any means of transportation. How will tourists get in at that time?

Will they rent Tianxia's official manned spacecraft like the previous space tourism that rented the Mao Xiong's spacecraft?

Or will they bid to use private aerospace companies' spacecraft from other countries?

Or, does Interstellar Pathfinder Company have its own commercial manned aircraft design and construction plan?

These were not explained clearly.

There are several international commercial space station projects, but other companies' planned times are all a few years later, and either they have their own spacecraft, or they only make space station modules and then sell them to other aerospace companies.

Pathfinder's commercial space station project is rather strange. It states that it will operate itself, but it does not have its own manned spacecraft, which is quite passive.

As long as it cooperates with other companies with manned spacecraft, it will be somewhat controlled by others.

This also refers to Mao Xiong. When the Americans temporarily lost their manned spaceflight capabilities, they were ripped off by the Maozi for those few years~

A ticket was almost 100 million U.S. dollars.

So when Tang Chao stood in the center of the stage again, the reporters below began to ask questions unconsciously.

And one was louder than the other.

"Mr. Tang Chao, how big is the Starry Sky Inn specifically?"

"Captain Tang, will the tourist transportation of the Star... Starry Sky Inn... cooperate with other aerospace companies?"

"Mr. Tang Chao, please answer?"

"Captain Tang, please..."

The venue was noisy, Tang Chao raised his hand and pressed down, asking the reporters to be quiet: "Everyone doesn't need to be so anxious, the introduction will be after the promotional video."

"If a promotional video could explain everything clearly, then there would be nothing for me to do. Do you all not want to see handsome me so much?"

Tang Chao said with a smile on his face, and the audience below also laughed.

He signaled everyone to be quiet again, and then pressed the button, and the photo of the space station and the Earth became a multi-view of the "Starry Sky Inn" after unfolding its solar panels.

"The reason why I say its pressurized space is the largest single unit in history is because its diameter reaches 7 meters, which is larger than the maximum diameter of 6.7 meters of Skylab."

"Of course, because this module is too large, the fairing of the Faraway Voyager has also become larger, becoming 8 meters in diameter,"

"Its length is not very long, only 25 meters, which is not as long as the full length of Skylab, which is 36 meters."

"However, the Starry Sky Inn does not need to carry telescopes and experimental equipment, and there is no long section that is just a passage, so there is more pressurized space, reaching 500 cubic meters, which is much more than the 360 cubic meters of Skylab."

"And its weight is not small, with a total weight of 80 tons, which is greater than the 77 tons of Skylab..."

Tang Chao pointed at the data and rambled on, using the truth to compare the American Skylab.

However, according to Tang Chao, he is not showing off, but with the development of technology, it is inevitable that the latter will surpass the former.

But as the latter, he is full of respect for the former, because it is because of the former's exploration that he has his achievements today!

When the Starry Sky Inn is officially in operation in the future, as a commercial hotel, the decoration must be done well. Hanging some paintings and photos is a conventional practice for Earth hotels, and he will naturally do it too.

He will hang a photo of Skylab in the viewing room of the Starry Sky Inn to express his respect.

As soon as these words came out, there was warm applause again.

Ah, this spirit of not forgetting predecessors and respecting explorers is really admirable!

Of course, some people don't think so.

"He's just showing off! He's using Skylab to set off his Starry Sky Inn. It's an arrogant victor's posture, an insult to us!"

In a conference room in America, the lapdogs gathered again, and Kuna was frantically slamming the table and roaring!

However, the number of people in this conference room is obviously larger, with people from various fields, including representatives from Boeing and Lockheed Martin.

Obviously, it is a very important meeting.

It is already the second day of the press conference. After the Wise Man saw the news reports, he was furious at him and gave him an ultimatum.

He must think of a way to win back the world's attention and let it gather in America again, and let America win again.

If not, then get out!

After scolding, he pointed to the paused big screen and said excitedly to the others: "We can't wait any longer, we must fight back!"

After listening to him, except for a few scientists who frowned and did not express any opinions, everyone else clamored to give Tianxia and Pathfinder a little colour-see-see.

Seeing their performance, Kuna was very satisfied, and first asked Boeing's representative: "Can the SLS rocket be launched on time?"

Boeing's representative said seriously: "No problem, it has been transported to the space center and is being vertically assembled."

Kuna nodded and asked Lockheed Martin's representative: "What about the Orion spacecraft?"

"It was also sent to the space center and is being assembled with the rocket." Lockheed Martin's representative also said seriously.

Hearing this, Kuna's satisfied expression became even stronger, and finally asked Jim, the director of NASA, who was sitting next to him.

"What about your side, are the astronauts for the lunar mission ready?"

"Uh..."

Jim was a little embarrassed.

"Not yet."

Kuna was stunned, "What?!"
