Emva kolindelo olukhulu, iVirgin Galactic ityhile ukuba oosomajukujuku bangalindela ntoni kwiikhabhathi zabo zasemajukujukwini. Ukuqikelela, iikhabhathi zintle kwaye zinekamva, ubuchwephesha obuphezulu kwaye buhle.
‘’ Xa sasiyila iVirgin Galactic, saqala ngento esasikholelwa ukuba iya kuba ngamava abathengi afanelekileyo emva koko sakha isiphekepheke esijikelezileyo, uRichard Branson, uMseki weQela leVirgin, yatsho ngexa kutyhilwa ngolwesibini.

Eyilwe ngegalelo loogqirha, abaqeqeshi boosomajukujuku, abaqhubi beenqwelo moya, iinjineli kunye nabathengi be-astronaut yeVirgin Galactic ngokwabo, ikhabhathi yesithuthi sokuqala seSpacehipTwo, VSS Ubunye Ijongana neemfuno zomsebenzi kunye neemvakalelo zabathengi bethu kwindawo ene-adrenaline ephezulu kubandakanya ukukhanyisa ngexesha lokunduluka kunye nokufika kumiselwe ixesha lokuhamba, elungiselelwe ukuthomalalisa okanye ukonwabisa abakhweli malunga namava abo, iGosa eliyiNtloko leNdawo, uGeorge Whitesides, ucacisile ngexesha lokutyhila.
Intombikazi yaseVirgin Galactic yangaphakathi Ityala: iVirgin Galactic
Yonke imiba yeyoyilo eyenzelwe ukubonelela abathengi ngentuthuzelo kunye nokhuseleko kodwa ngendlela engabonakaliyo. Emva kwayo yonke loo nto, iimbono zomhlaba ezisuka emajukujukwini sesona sizathu sokuba abantu bakhwele, kwaye ke izimvo zibekwe kwinqanaba leziko.
Iifestile ezilishumi elinambini zijikeleze isakhelo sekhabhathi, sandisa ukubonwa kwendawo kuzo zonke iindlela.
Ingaphakathi lekhabhathi lixhasa ukugcina umbono woMhlaba emajukujukwini ngayo yonke indlela, utshilo uMyaleli oyiNtloko weAstronaut uBeth Moses ngexesha lokutyhilwa. Ikhabhathi ikwaqhelana nohambo, inike intuthuzelo ngamaxesha ohambo kwaye ibe yindawo yokuhlangana yokunyuka ngexesha lobunzima.

Umboniso wokubuyela umva, kufana nenqwelomoya, uyakubonisa idatha yokuhamba ngenqwelomoya-kude kube lixesha le-zero gravity kunye nezihlalo zihlala phantsi ukubonelela ngendawo enkulu yokudada koosomajukujuku. Izihlalo zinokususwa zitshintshwe ngeeracks zokuhlawula xa kukho imishini yesayensi ebhekise emajukujukwini endaweni yabakhweli bezentengiso.
Iikhamera ezilishumi elinesithandathu zokukhwela ziya kubhala kuhambo ukuze oosomajukujuku bashiye iikhamera zabo eMhlabeni kwaye bazibhaptize ngokupheleleyo kumava. Baya kuba nakho ukuzibona befumana ubunzima be-zero ngexesha lokuphila, njengoko i-cabin ixhotywe ngesipili esikhulu kwi-cabin ye-spaceship.
Ukufuna i-astronauts kunokugcina indawo kwi-flight ye-Virgin Galactic kunye ne-dollar eyi-1 000 ebuyiswayo. Ithegi yokugqibela yohambo lweyure eziyi-2.5 yi- $ 250,000.
