Hiki ke hoʻoikaika ʻia ka huakaʻi lewa mai kahi hālāwai o nā noʻonoʻo a me nā ʻeke kālā ma Dubai i kēia pule i ka wā e hui pū ai ka World Space Risk Forum i nā hui, nā ʻinikua, a me nā mea kālā makemake i ka underwriting i nā huakaʻi kālā pilikino i ka orbit.

ʻO ka ʻae ʻana, i ʻōlelo ʻia e nā mea hoʻonohonoho ʻaha kūkā, ʻo ia ka hiki ke hiki ke hele i loko o nā makahiki ʻelua a ʻekolu paha.

"E hele mai ana ka mākaʻikaʻi mokulele," wahi a ke poʻo o ka hālāwai kūkā ʻo Laurent Lemaire, nāna i kuhikuhi i ka "hoʻololi mai ke aupuni a i ka ʻoihana pilikino" i ka holomua ʻana i ka huakaʻi huakaʻi. ʻO kāna hui, ʻo Elseco Limited, e hōʻoiaʻiʻo e kūʻē i ka pilikia o ka lewa, nā pōʻino e pili ana i nā hana ʻenehana a hiki i ka hui ʻana o ka lewa me nā ʻōpala.

ʻO ka makemake pāʻoihana i ka lewa i loaʻa mai ma kahi ʻāpana mai kahi hoʻoholo aupuni o US e ʻoki i ka waihona kālā o NASA, i komo pū me kahi ʻoki o ka Constellation Project.

ʻO nā mea nui o ka papahana, ka mea e mālama ana i ka lele mokulele kanaka, ua hoʻololi ʻia e ke aupuni outsourcing i nā hui e like me Boeing a me Lockheed Martin. Ua hoʻonui nā aupuni ʻē, ʻo ia hoʻi ʻo Kina a me India i kā lākou papahana lewa. Ua hoʻokumu ʻo Kina i kāna mokulele mokulele mua i ka makahiki 2003, ʻoiai ʻo India e hoʻolālā ana iā ia iho ma 2016.

Akā, ua loaʻa mai ka nūhou nui i ka hoʻomohala ʻana i ka mokulele mai nā hui pilikino, ʻo ka mea mua loa ʻo Sir Richard Branson's Virgin Galactic. No ka $200,000 tiketi, e holo ana ka poʻe kaʻa ma luna o kahi mokulele hoʻohana hou i 2 ½ hola i ka orbit haʻahaʻa, no ke kaumaha ʻole a me ka nānā ʻana i ka honua mai 50,000 kapuaʻi ma luna.

'E ma'i 'oe, e ha'alulu 'oe, 'a'ole e 'olu'olu. Akā, ke kū ʻoe i ka hāmau a ʻike i ka honua mai luna mai, he mea paha ia e hoʻokō nui ana,' wahi a Lemaire.

Wahi a ka hui e hāʻule nā kumukūʻai i ka manawa, e ʻae ana i nā astronauts pilikino e lele. Ma ka hālāwai kūkā o Dubai ʻo Virgin Galactic Pelekikena Will Whitehorn i ʻōlelo ai he 330 poʻe i kau inoa, ma ka liʻiliʻi he 20 o lākou mai ka ʻāina ʻo Gulf.

ʻO Abu Dhabi, ka mea i lawe i ka 32 pakeneka ma Virgin Galactic no $ 280 miliona, aia nā kuleana kūloko e hoʻokipa i kahi spaceport ma ka ʻāina UAE. Akā ʻōlelo ka ʻoihana, i kēia manawa, e kau ʻia nā hana a me nā mokulele mokulele ma kāna keʻena nui ma New Mexico.

ʻAʻole e kūʻai ʻia ka mākaʻikaʻi lewa

ʻO kahi hui ʻē aʻe, ʻo Excalibur Almaz, ke manaʻo nei e hoʻouna hou aku i nā mea kūʻai aku i ka lewa. Ke alakaʻi ʻia nei e ka US Astronaut Leroy Chiao, he mea haʻiʻōlelo ma ka Space Risk Forum, e lawe mai ka hui i ka noiʻi ʻepekema ma luna o ka moku e hāʻawi i nā mea holo i kahi mea e hana ai i ka huakaʻi ʻelima a ʻehiku lā. E ʻoi aku ka kiʻekiʻe o ke kumu kūʻai, i hoʻohālikelike ʻia i ke kumukūʻai o $ 35 miliona no kahi pule hoʻokahi pule ma ka International Space Station.

"ʻO ke kumukūʻai nui o kēlā me kēia huakaʻi i ka lewa ʻo ka rocket. ʻAʻole hiki ke hoʻohana hou ʻia, a i kēia manawa ke kūʻai nei lākou ma kahi o $60 miliona. He mea nui ia i ka ʻenehana rocket e hoʻohaʻahaʻa i kēlā kumukūʻai, "wahi a Chiao iā ABC News.

ʻO ka mea i holomua i nā palena o ka ʻepekema lewa ka puka ʻana mai o nā makana hoʻoikaika, e like me ka makana X no ka hana noiʻi. I ka makahiki 2004, ua hoʻokumu ka Ansari X Prize i kahi makana he $10 miliona no ka hui nāna i kūkulu a hoʻokuʻu i kahi mea hana i hiki ke hana i nā huakaʻi he nui i ka lewa.

ʻO ka hui lanakila, i alakaʻi ʻia e ka mea hoʻolālā aerospace ʻo Burt Rutan a me ka ʻenehana ʻenehana ʻo Paul Allen, i hoʻolālā i ka mea e hana ai i ka prototype no ka mokulele ʻo Virgin Galactic. Mai ia manawa ua hoʻolaha ʻia nā hoʻokūkū hou, e like me ka Google Lunar X Prize o $30 miliona no ka hui pilikino mua e hoʻopaʻa i kahi lopako ma ka mahina a hoʻihoʻi i nā kiʻi i ka honua.

“He kuleana ko nā makana i ka ʻepekema. ʻO ka waiwai nui, ʻo ia ka hoʻonui ʻana i ka ʻike o ka lehulehu i nā mea e hana nei, "wahi a Chiao.

ʻO ka hoʻāʻo ʻana no nā ʻoihana kikowaena kālā pilikino e hoʻomau ʻia, wahi a Laurent Lamierre ka loea ʻinikua. Pono ka ʻenehana a me ke kālā e hoʻonui i ka holomua no nā hui e lawe i ka pilikia.

"He mea ʻoiaʻiʻo ka mākaʻikaʻi mokulele," wahi āna. "Akā pono mākou e ʻike inā lele maoli ia."
