Super technology leader

Indeed, as more people entered space, international news and online information about space began to explode.

The ordinary people initially dubbed 'Lucky Europeans' disrupted the astronauts' 'monopoly' on space, and their entry into space excited many, giving them hope.

After all, astronauts require too much specialized training. Even the previous space tourism projects involved training with professional astronauts at space agencies for several months before qualifying for space travel.

Aside from the enormous cost of tens of millions of dollars, some people simply couldn't spare the months of training.

Although early space tourists didn't need the robust physique of astronauts, they still had to withstand the enormous noise, vibrations, and G-forces of the rocket launch.

They also had to endure 'overweight' conditions during the ascent and descent of the spacecraft, exceeding three to four times their normal body weight.

Early rockets were designed for professional astronauts, prioritizing entry into space above all else. Other considerations were secondary. Only later, with technological advancements and consideration for the astronauts' well-being, was attention paid to the riding experience.

Space itself is a threshold. While it appears empty, the reality is extremely complex. Those entering space must also be able to withstand intense radiation, high vacuum, extreme temperature changes, and prolonged weightlessness.

This is an objective test that doesn't discriminate based on whether a space tourist is a professional astronaut; the hazards remain the same.

Therefore, even though short-term space travel doesn't require the same rigorous health standards as for astronauts, sufficient physical fitness is still necessary. After all, a healthy body is paramount for any endeavor, especially space travel.

Physical fitness tests include heart rate data, blood pressure, etc. The heart rate must not exceed 100 beats per minute, and blood pressure needs to be maintained between 100-160, along with other miscellaneous requirements. Only those meeting these initial conditions can proceed with space tourism.

Subsequently, extensive physical training, weightlessness training, zero-gravity training, and underwater weightlessness training are required.

This allows tourists to experience and familiarize themselves with the weightless environment, and to practice eating, sleeping, closing their eyes, opening their eyes, and using the toilet in this condition, ensuring they can further cope with various phenomena in space.

Secondly, they must thoroughly read the space tourism guide and understand the performance characteristics of the spacecraft, including the usage of various electrical switches and facilities inside the cabin, as well as safety and survival knowledge.

Finally, they must possess strong psychological resilience and courage to overcome the fear of going into space, strictly obey astronaut commands, and calmly deal with various problems encountered during the flight.

These 'initial' requirements for space tourists directly deterred countless individuals, causing the number of space tourists to stagnate at seven for eight years a decade ago.

Now, with the advent of the Pathfinder and its advanced aerospace equipment manufacturing technology, space manned equipment has been upgraded several levels. The previous situations where human power was needed to directly withstand various challenges due to insufficient technology have been alleviated. Space tourists no longer need long periods of training, greatly reducing the training time from several months to half a day!

At the same time, the advanced technology used to create the orbital shuttle allows for complete reuse. Each flight only requires refueling, reducing tourism costs and, correspondingly, lowering the cost of space tourism from tens of millions of dollars to a minimum of one million dollars.

They even have a lottery, giving away free space trips to tourists.

Because they are riding advanced orbital shuttles, there's no need to strain the body like astronauts. As long as they are healthy, even older individuals are fine. After all, there's already a record of a 79-year-old person riding an orbital shuttle into space.

Moreover, after spending a day in space and returning for a re-examination, the impact on the body is minimal, much easier than the week- to ten-day space trips of previous space tourists.

Those space tourists didn't necessarily want to stay that long, but the manned space equipment at the time couldn't make multiple trips a day like the orbital shuttle. The cost of each launch was too high, so they had to wait for missions. They would be taken into space or returned to Earth when there were missions.

So, in fact, the space trips of those previous individuals could only be considered 'hitchhiking.' The aerospace vehicles were not designed for them as the primary mission. To make aerospace launches centered around space tourists, two or three million dollars is simply not enough.

Unlike now, the Dart-class orbital shuttle is specifically designed to serve space tourists, charging only one million dollars per tourist.

Because it is targeted, there is no need for intensive physical training and strict health control. As long as they meet the general health standards, they can basically pass the Pathfinder Aerospace Company's health check.

After passing the check, with some brief training and learning, they can become real astronauts the next day.

After all, they are going to have fun and experience, not to work like astronauts. Understanding some basic knowledge is enough.

Of course, following the arrangements of the aerospace pilots and space station guides remains unchanged.

Non-professionals listening to the arrangements of professionals in highly specialized places will never change.

However, condensing months of training into half a day requires some secrets. The tourists who have experienced the new training equipment also feel very magical. According to Pathfinder Company, it is the company's latest 'Omni-Directional Stereoscopic Multi-Dimensional Main Perspective Space Travel Simulation Training Equipment'.

Really, the longer the name, the more jargon it contains, the more awesome it sounds.

The abbreviation or another name could be 'Super VR Training Equipment'.

The tourists are not ignorant people. Being able to spend one million dollars to take a trip to space, their cognitive abilities are quite good. That thing is obviously not a simple VR device, at least not a consumer-grade VR device on the market. It must have Pathfinder Company's secret technology.

Daring to add 'Super' indicates confidence.

Pathfinder Company, everyone knows its aerospace strength is super powerful. And when it comes to aerospace, it always gives people a very high-end feeling, with cutting-edge technology. So it's normal to have super technology to create this magical 'VR training equipment'.

The newest novels are first published on 69shu ba!

Those who have used it say it's good, and it feels very magical. Some even want to buy one.

Whenever someone makes such a request or inquires about information on VR training equipment, the relevant personnel always say with a smile: 'Not for external sale at the moment.'

These are the things that tourists know. Compared to these things on the ground, they are more concerned about space!

After all, that's what they came for!

And those who haven't gone to space yet are concerned about the number of orbital shuttle flights and the number of people going to space every day.

From the initial eight-person 'Lucky European' tour to the daily two or three flights back and forth, with a dozen or twenty people going to space every day, people are excited.

Unlike those professional astronauts, without the need for months of training, and without the exorbitant price of tens of millions of dollars, just one million dollars, or even a lottery.

This really attracts a large number of people to pay attention to these things.

After all, many people may not have one million dollars, but as long as Pathfinder Company retains the lottery model, they will always be lucky enough to win.

Many people feel 'I can do it too.' Space is really not far from them!
