Ua koi ʻia ʻo US National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) e hana i kekahi mau hana hou e uku ai i nā bila: e pāʻani ana i ka poʻe mākaʻikaʻi pilikino ma luna o ka International Space Station.
ʻO ke keʻena o ka lewa, e holo ana ma lalo o ke kaumaha o kāna ʻōlelo hoʻohiki e hoʻi i ka mahina ma 2024, ua hoʻolaha i kāna ʻāpana o ke kahua kikowaena ua wehe ʻia no ka ʻoihana, hiki ke hoʻolimalima ʻia i nā astronauts pilikino a me nā ʻoihana kalepa like, e hoʻomaka koke i ka makahiki e hiki mai ana. ʻAʻole wale nā mea kūʻai aku e loaʻa i ka lewa - hiki iā lākou ke hoʻohana i nā astronauts NASA no kā lākou hana kalepa, a hoʻohana i kā lākou ʻenehana e hoʻokō i kā lākou mau papahana - inā he kiʻi kiʻiʻoniʻoni, hoʻolaha, a i ʻole ka pāʻina lā hānau nui loa o ka honua. .
ʻAʻole maʻalahi ka hoʻohana ʻana i ka ISS, ʻoiaʻiʻo - e lanakila ana ke kumu. ʻO kahi "misiona," ʻaʻole i ʻoi aku ma mua o 30 mau lā, e hōʻike ʻia ana ke kumukūʻai ma luna o $50 miliona. ʻOiai e hoʻouna wale ana ʻo NASA i ʻelua mau misionari pilikino i kēlā me kēia makahiki, e hoʻonui koke ke kālā a hele lōʻihi i ka hoʻopiha ʻana i ka hakahaka mau i waiho ʻia e like me ka emi ʻana o ka makemake o ka hoʻokele Trump e hoʻi i ka mahina.
Ua paʻakikī ʻo NASA e hoʻomau i nā ʻoihana kikowaena pilikino e like me SpaceX a me Blue Origin, ʻaʻole i hoʻopaʻa ʻia e nā loli o nā kālā kālā a ke aupuni a kūʻokoʻa e kūʻai aku i kā lākou hana āpau. A hiki i kona hoʻolaha ʻana i ka Pōʻalima e wehe ana i nā puka o ka ISS i ka lehulehu (waiwai nui), ʻaʻole ʻae ʻo NASA i kekahi mea me ka ʻole o kahi mea hoʻonaʻauao a noiʻi paha ma luna o ka moku - ʻoiaʻiʻo ʻaʻole nā mea kipa pilikino - a ʻo kāna wikiō "hoʻokipa".
"ʻO ka ʻae ʻana i kahi hoʻokele waiwai i ka orbit haʻahaʻa haʻahaʻa he mea hoʻokele o ka papahana space-station," i ʻōlelo ai ʻo Astronaut Christina Koch, me ka hoʻohiki ʻana i ka NASA hou, i hoʻopaʻa ʻia "e hoʻonui i ka wahi i nā ʻAmelika āpau."
ʻAʻole like me nā misionari Moon kahiko i kākoʻo ʻia e ke aupuni, e hoʻouna ka NASA hou a i hoʻomaikaʻi ʻia i nā "astronauts pilikino" i ka ISS ma nā mokulele hoʻolaʻa kālā pilikino i hoʻohana ʻia e nā hui e like me SpaceX a me Boeing, me ka hoʻohana ʻana i ka mokulele US ma ke ʻano he kaʻa; Manaʻo ʻo NASA i ka hele pinepine ʻana o kēia mau huakaʻi, e hoʻomohala kā lākou mea hoʻohana i ka ʻenehana ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi a me ka haʻahaʻa.
ʻO ka hope, manaʻo ʻo NASA, e lilo ka ISS i kahi outpost e hele ana i ke ʻano o nā "puka" e lana ana ma kahi kokoke i ka mahina a ma hope o Mars, a ke manaʻo nei lākou e hana i kahi awa o ka ISS i loaʻa i nā hui pilikino no nā kumu kūʻai, me ka manaʻo e hoʻomaka. ka hana ʻana o nā kakini o "nā kikowaena kikowaena pilikino" ma Low-Earth Orbit.
ʻO ka hoʻāʻo ʻana o NASA e hoʻolālā i kahi hoʻolālā e hoʻi i ka mahina i ka makahiki 2024 me ka kūʻai ʻole ʻana iā ia iho i ka mea hoʻolimalima kiʻekiʻe loa i hāʻule a puhi ʻia i ka mahina i hala aku nei, e koi ana i ka haʻalele ʻana o ke kōkua kūikawā o ka papahana ʻo Mark Sirangelo ma hope o ka hōʻole ʻana o Congress e hāʻawi i ke keʻena me nā kālā e pono ai. hiki i ka mahina.
Akā ʻoiai ke alo wiwo ʻole o ka luna o NASA ʻo Jim Bridenstine i kau ai i ka NASA hou, privatized, ke hoʻomau nei ʻo ia e pale i nā manaʻo o ke kumukūʻai holoʻokoʻa o ka papahana, a me ke ʻano o ka crass commercialism ua ʻae koke ʻo ia - e ʻae ana i nā hui e kūʻai i nā kuleana inoa i nā rockets. no ka laʻana - manaʻo ʻia he nui loa ka helu.
He mea maikaʻi ʻole ia no ka wā e hiki mai ana o ka papahana no ka mea, e like me kāna hānai Twitter, ua luhi ʻo Pelekikena Trump i ka mahina a ua neʻe aku i Mars.
He aha e lawe ʻia mai kēia ʻatikala:
- ʻO ka hope, manaʻo ʻo NASA, e lilo ka ISS i kahi outpost e hele ana i ke ʻano o nā "puka" e lana ana ma kahi kokoke i ka mahina a ma hope o Mars, a ke manaʻo nei lākou e hana i kahi awa o ka ISS i loaʻa i nā hui pilikino no nā kumu kūʻai, me ka manaʻo e hoʻomaka. ka hana ʻana o nā kakini o "nā kikowaena kikowaena pilikino" ma Low-Earth Orbit.
- NASA's attempt to formulate a plan to return to the Moon in 2024 without selling itself to the highest bidder crashed and burned last month, forcing the resignation of project special assistant Mark Sirangelo after Congress declined to supply the agency with the funds it would have needed to reach the Moon.
- The space agency, floundering under the weight of its promise to return to the Moon by 2024, has announced its section of the space station is open for business, available for leasing to private astronauts and commercial companies alike, starting as soon as next year.
