"content": "\u003cp>The launch of a SpaceX rocket ship with two NASA astronauts on a history-making flight into orbit was called off with 16 minutes to go in the countdown Wednesday because of thunderclouds and the danger of lightning in Florida.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Liftoff was rescheduled for Saturday afternoon.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The commercially designed, built and owned spacecraft was set to blast off in the afternoon for the International Space Station, ushering in a new era in commercial spaceflight and putting NASA back in the business of launching astronauts from U.S. soil for the first time in nearly a decade.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But thunderstorms for much of the day threatened to force a postponement, and the word finally came down that the atmosphere was so electrically charged that the spacecraft with NASA astronauts Doug Hurley and Bob Behnken aboard could get hit by a bolt of lightning.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“No launch for today — safety for our crew members @Astro_Doug and @AstroBehnken is our top priority,” NASA Administrator Jim Bridenstine tweeted, using a lightning emoji.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The two men were scheduled to ride into orbit aboard the SpaceX’s bullet-shaped Dragon capsule on top of a Falcon 9 rocket, taking off from the same launch pad used during the Apollo moon missions a half-century ago. Both President Donald Trump and Vice President Mike Pence had arrived to watch.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The flight — the long-held dream of SpaceX founder Elon Musk — would have marked the first time a private company sent humans into orbit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It would also have been the first time in nearly a decade that the United States launched astronauts into orbit from U.S. soil. Ever since the space shuttle was retired in 2011, NASA has relied on Russian spaceships launched from Kazakhstan to take U.S. astronauts to and from the space station.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>During the day, thunder could be heard as the astronauts made their way to the pad at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center, and a tornado warning was issued moments after they climbed into their capsule.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The preparations took place in the shadow of the coronavirus outbreak that has killed an estimated 100,000 Americans.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’re launching American astronauts on American rockets from American soil. We haven’t done this really since 2011, so this is a unique moment in time,” Bridenstine said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With this launch, he said, “everybody can look up and say, ‘Look, the future is so much brighter than the present.′ And I really hope that this is an inspiration to the world.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The mission would put Musk and SpaceX in the same league as only three spacefaring countries — Russia, the U.S. and China, all of which sent astronauts into orbit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“What today is about is reigniting the dream of space and getting people fired up about the future,” he said in a NASA interview before the flight was scrubbed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A solemn-sounding Musk said he felt his responsibilities most strongly when he saw the astronauts’ wives and sons just before launch. He said he told them: “We’ve done everything we can to make sure your dads come back OK.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>NASA pushed ahead with the launch despite the viral outbreak, but kept the guest list at Kennedy extremely limited and asked spectators to stay at home. Still, beaches and parks along Florida’s Space Coast are open again, and hours before the launch, cars and RVs already were lining the causeway in Cape Canaveral.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The space agency also estimated 1.7 million people were watching the launch preparations online during the afternoon.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Among the sightseers was Erin Gatz, who came prepared for both rain and pandemic. Accompanied by her 14-year-old daughter and 12-year-old son, she brought face masks and a small tent to protect against the elements.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She said the children had faint memories of watching in person one of the last shuttle launches almost a decade ago when they were preschoolers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I wanted them to see the flip side and get to see the next era of space travel,” said Gatz, who lives in Deltona, Florida. “It’s exciting and hopeful.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>NASA hired SpaceX and Boeing in 2014 to transport astronauts to the space station in a new kind of public-private partnership. Development of SpaceX’s Dragon and Boeing’s Starliner capsules took longer than expected, however. Boeing’s ship is not expected to fly astronauts into space until early 2021.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’re doing it differently than we’ve ever done it before,” Bridenstine said. “We’re transforming how we do spaceflight in the future.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n",

Both President Donald Trump and Vice President Mike Pence had arrived to watch.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The flight — the long-held dream of SpaceX founder Elon Musk — would have marked the first time a private company sent humans into orbit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It would also have been the first time in nearly a decade that the United States launched astronauts into orbit from U.S. soil. Ever since the space shuttle was retired in 2011, NASA has relied on Russian spaceships launched from Kazakhstan to take U.S. astronauts to and from the space station.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>During the day, thunder could be heard as the astronauts made their way to the pad at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center, and a tornado warning was issued moments after they climbed into their capsule.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The preparations took place in the shadow of the coronavirus outbreak that has killed an estimated 100,000 Americans.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’re launching American astronauts on American rockets from American soil. We haven’t done this really since 2011, so this is a unique moment in time,” Bridenstine said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With this launch, he said, “everybody can look up and say, ‘Look, the future is so much brighter than the present.′ And I really hope that this is an inspiration to the world.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The mission would put Musk and SpaceX in the same league as only three spacefaring countries — Russia, the U.S. and China, all of which sent astronauts into orbit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“What today is about is reigniting the dream of space and getting people fired up about the future,” he said in a NASA interview before the flight was scrubbed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A solemn-sounding Musk said he felt his responsibilities most strongly when he saw the astronauts’ wives and sons just before launch. He said he told them: “We’ve done everything we can to make sure your dads come back OK.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>NASA pushed ahead with the launch despite the viral outbreak, but kept the guest list at Kennedy extremely limited and asked spectators to stay at home. Still, beaches and parks along Florida’s Space Coast are open again, and hours before the launch, cars and RVs already were lining the causeway in Cape Canaveral.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The space agency also estimated 1.7 million people were watching the launch preparations online during the afternoon.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Among the sightseers was Erin Gatz, who came prepared for both rain and pandemic. Accompanied by her 14-year-old daughter and 12-year-old son, she brought face masks and a small tent to protect against the elements.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She said the children had faint memories of watching in person one of the last shuttle launches almost a decade ago when they were preschoolers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I wanted them to see the flip side and get to see the next era of space travel,” said Gatz, who lives in Deltona, Florida. “It’s exciting and hopeful.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>NASA hired SpaceX and Boeing in 2014 to transport astronauts to the space station in a new kind of public-private partnership. Development of SpaceX’s Dragon and Boeing’s Starliner capsules took longer than expected, however. Boeing’s ship is not expected to fly astronauts into space until early 2021.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’re doing it differently than we’ve ever done it before,” Bridenstine said. “We’re transforming how we do spaceflight in the future.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

That means American astronauts have been launching from Kazakhstan.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, the space agency has been partnering with companies such as SpaceX and Boeing to help them build their own space vehicles. The \u003ca href=\"https://www.nasa.gov/content/commercial-crew-overview\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">idea\u003c/a> was that NASA would focus on more ambitious missions like a return to the lunar surface, while letting space companies basically operate a taxi service to nearby station.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.nasa.gov/subject/11844/crew-dragon/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">One\u003c/a> of them — the SpaceX Crew Dragon — is finally ready to blast off with people on board. And some in the space industry think that this historic launch marks the start of a revolution for space travel.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That’s because folks outside of NASA will be able to fly on these space taxis, too, if they can afford the fare, opening up space as a more accessible travel destination. Already there’s talk of \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2020/05/05/851048199/tom-cruise-and-nasa-could-be-a-match-made-in-the-heavens\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Tom Cruise\u003c/a> riding a SpaceX capsule to the station to shoot an action movie.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here again, history is repeating itself. Hale says the reusable space shuttle was supposed to transform space travel in a similar way.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We were going to take Walter Cronkite, my goodness, we were going to have journalists in space, we were going to take entertainers,” he recalls. “We were going to take John Denver into space.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>All of that ended with the \u003ca href=\"https://www.nasa.gov/multimedia/imagegallery/image_gallery_2437.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Challenger\u003c/a> disaster and the deaths of all on board, including teacher Christa McAuliffe. The shuttle was more dangerous and more expensive than originally planned, and it flew far less often than NASA had hoped. The agency had to shelve its vision of bringing up lots of ordinary people.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Let’s hope that this new generation of spacecraft really work out to be safe enough where we really can do that,” says Hale.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The safety of SpaceX’s capsule and rocket is better understood than the shuttle was at its start. SpaceX had a successful flight \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2019/02/28/698073318/spacex-readies-for-key-test-of-capsule-built-to-carry-astronauts-into-space\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">test\u003c/a> to the station and back with no people on board — except after it had docked to the station, when astronauts on board the outpost \u003ca href=\"https://blogs.nasa.gov/commercialcrew/2019/03/04/spacex-crew-dragon-hatch-opened-after-successfully-docking-to-station/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">opened\u003c/a> the hatch and went inside.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The company also \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ARIZnaMXTEU\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">checked\u003c/a> out the safety system for astronauts by deliberately destroying one of its rockets and checking to ensure that the capsule escaped without harm.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nothing like that was true for the space shuttle. NASA had never launched anything like it before sending it up with two astronauts: veteran \u003ca href=\"https://www.nasa.gov/astronautprofiles/young/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">John Young\u003c/a> and rookie \u003ca href=\"https://www.nasa.gov/missions/highlights/webcasts/history/bcrippen-bio.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Robert Crippen\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Wednesday afternoon at 4:33 p.m. EDT, from the very same launch pad, the Space X vehicle is scheduled to carry up another pair of astronauts: \u003ca href=\"https://www.nasa.gov/astronauts/biographies/douglas-g-hurley/biography\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Douglas Hurley\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"https://www.nasa.gov/astronauts/biographies/robert-l-behnken\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Robert Behnken\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s probably a dream of every test pilot school student to have the opportunity to fly on a brand-new spaceship and I’m lucky enough to get that opportunity,” says Behnken.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hurley says that during their time in the astronaut corps, they both had an opportunity to interact with the first space shuttle flyers. He recently saw Crippen at an event in Texas a few years ago, and they talked about that first shuttle launch.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think one thing that really registered with me with what Bob Crippen said was, you know, ‘We were so focused on flying the mission, flying the vehicle, and executing and not making a mistake,'” says Hurley.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That’s the kind of intense focus Hurley has to have, even in the midst of a pandemic that has NASA \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2020/05/01/849119650/coronavirus-fears-have-nasa-urging-space-fans-to-stay-away-from-historic-launch\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">begging\u003c/a> people not to gather in crowds to watch as they’ve done in the past for the shuttle.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Both Behnken and Hurley have flown on the space shuttle — in fact, Hurley was on its last mission. The shuttle had a cockpit crammed full of switches and dials, but the more modern SpaceX capsule is controlled with a sleek touchscreen.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Growing up as a pilot, my whole career, having a certain way to control a vehicle,” says Hurley. “This is certainly different.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And when the duo returns to Earth, they’ll splash down in the ocean rather than coasting to a stop on a landing strip.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They will, however, be carrying some familiar cargo: an American \u003ca href=\"https://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/shuttle/shuttlemissions/sts135/multimedia/gallery/fd11flag.html\">flag\u003c/a>. It flew on the first shuttle mission and the last. It’s been hung up on the space station for years, just waiting for a crew to launch from the U.S. and bring it back home.\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">Copyright 2020 NPR.

NASA had never launched anything like it before sending it up with two astronauts: veteran \u003ca href=\"https://www.nasa.gov/astronautprofiles/young/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">John Young\u003c/a> and rookie \u003ca href=\"https://www.nasa.gov/missions/highlights/webcasts/history/bcrippen-bio.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Robert Crippen\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Wednesday afternoon at 4:33 p.m. EDT, from the very same launch pad, the Space X vehicle is scheduled to carry up another pair of astronauts: \u003ca href=\"https://www.nasa.gov/astronauts/biographies/douglas-g-hurley/biography\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Douglas Hurley\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"https://www.nasa.gov/astronauts/biographies/robert-l-behnken\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Robert Behnken\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s probably a dream of every test pilot school student to have the opportunity to fly on a brand-new spaceship and I’m lucky enough to get that opportunity,” says Behnken.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hurley says that during their time in the astronaut corps, they both had an opportunity to interact with the first space shuttle flyers. He recently saw Crippen at an event in Texas a few years ago, and they talked about that first shuttle launch.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think one thing that really registered with me with what Bob Crippen said was, you know, ‘We were so focused on flying the mission, flying the vehicle, and executing and not making a mistake,'” says Hurley.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That’s the kind of intense focus Hurley has to have, even in the midst of a pandemic that has NASA \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2020/05/01/849119650/coronavirus-fears-have-nasa-urging-space-fans-to-stay-away-from-historic-launch\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">begging\u003c/a> people not to gather in crowds to watch as they’ve done in the past for the shuttle.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Both Behnken and Hurley have flown on the space shuttle — in fact, Hurley was on its last mission. The shuttle had a cockpit crammed full of switches and dials, but the more modern SpaceX capsule is controlled with a sleek touchscreen.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Growing up as a pilot, my whole career, having a certain way to control a vehicle,” says Hurley. “This is certainly different.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And when the duo returns to Earth, they’ll splash down in the ocean rather than coasting to a stop on a landing strip.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

"content": "\u003cp>Elon Musk, founder of SpaceX, surprised pretty much everyone recently when he \u003ca href=\"http://www.spacex.com/news/2017/02/27/spacex-send-privately-crewed-dragon-spacecraft-beyond-moon-next-year\">revealed \u003c/a>that sometime late next year, the company will use one of its unmanned spacecraft to fly two lucky, unnamed wealthy space tourists all the way around the moon, into deep space and back again.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s historic in many ways — not least because it would be the first time in more than 40 years that any human has gone that far into space. And the logo on the rocket will be SpaceX, not NASA — a fact that is \u003ca href=\"http://www.space.com/35861-spacex-could-beat-nasa-to-the-moon.html?utm_source=sp-newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=20170301-sdc\">lost on no one\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The announcement raises interesting questions about the state of space tourism and private space exploration. For answers, we turned to \u003ca href=\"http://www.seti.org/users/sshostak\">Seth Shostak\u003c/a>, Senior Astronomer with the SETI Institute in Mountain View. He sat down with KQED Morning News anchor Brian Watt.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>This conversation has been edited for brevity and clarity.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Watt\u003c/strong>: \u003cstrong>So if this mission goes as planned, it would be the first time in 45 years any human has gone this far into space. This would be a remotely piloted spacecraft. When was the last time we went to the moon, and why haven’t we been back?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Shostak: That was\u003ca href=\"https://www.nasa.gov/multimedia/imagegallery/image_feature_598.html\"> the Apollo mission in 1972\u003c/a>, and it was the last time anyone went any distance farther than the distance between San Francisco and Los Angeles, into space. So this is a big thing. It’s 1,000 times farther.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When the Apollo program ended, the assumption was, we’d done what we wanted to do, which was largely geopolitical — we wanted to beat the Russians to the moon, and we did that. And after that, the financial incentive to do more than that kind of faded away. There was a plan to send at least three more manned missions to the moon — they didn’t happen.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignright\">‘It seems easy to build rockets in the movies, it always works. But in real life, it’s not what you would call a mature technology.’\u003ccite>Seth Shostak, SETI Institute\u003c/cite>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>Everyone assumed what was coming down the pike was to send people to our little ruddy buddy, Mars. And so there were plans drawn up, and the president said to NASA, “Okay, figure out how much that’s going to cost.” And they came up with a price tag of something like $500 billion, and he said, “Think again.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So that hasn’t happened. We haven’t sent people any farther into orbit. And I think that on some level, the public is aware that we haven’t done anything spectacular in space for a very long time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Watt: Has Mars essentially usurped the moon as our destination of choice? \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Shostak: I think so. The moon is only 240,000 miles away, which is more or less what I have on my Honda. Mars, on the other hand, is like 30 million miles away. That’s a much bigger trip. You can get to the moon in a couple of days. To get to Mars would take you half a year. And Mars has attractions that the moon doesn’t have. Mars was once a kinder, gentler world with waters on the surface — rivers, lakes, maybe even oceans. It may even still have life under the surface. None of that can be said for the moon. Mars is a more interesting, if a more difficult, target.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Watt: So what does it say about the state of space exploration that a private company is getting astronauts back to the moon before NASA can? Are we going to see more of this kind of private space travel, do you think?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Shostak: I kind of hope that we will, actually. The idea that NASA may over-engineer some things or that they’re too conservative – these may be legitimate complaints.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=”MFGF5Gx16tH0wKns0uccb6HcGZXniikX”]NASA is sensitive to the fact that when it kills a couple of people, there’s a big reaction. And private industry doesn’t have that problem yet, because it hasn’t killed anybody. But space is dangerous. I think you liken it to aviation – after the Wright brothers, for many years it was basically a U.S. Army project to develop aircraft. But if the government had stayed the sole developer of airplanes, it would cost you a lot of money to go anywhere in an aircraft today. The private sector got involved, they were able to drive down costs and commercialize it. Today, you can buy an airline ticket for what some people would consider a reasonable price.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I think the same thing may happen in space. If you’re really going to open up space to more people than just a few astronauts every year, then privatization’s a good thing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Watt: You touched on something very important. SpaceX has never flown people before, and it actually has had \u003ca href=\"http://money.cnn.com/2015/06/28/technology/spacex-rocket/\">two rockets\u003c/a> \u003ca href=\"https://www.wired.com/2016/10/cause-spacexs-explosion-gets-little-clearer/\">blow up\u003c/a> in the last two years. Are there some unique risks to a mission like this because it involves a private company? \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Shostak: Well, there is the question of, do you trust their engineering, have they done enough testing? That sort of thing. It seems easy to build rockets in the movies, it always works. But in real life, it’s\u003ca href=\"http://www.popularmechanics.com/space/rockets/a25065/spacex-uphill-battle-crew-approval/\"> not what you would call a mature technology\u003c/a>. So there is that danger. And there’s also the case that if you’re going to send somebody up a couple of hundred thousand miles into space – if they get into trouble up there, it’s very, very hard to get them back. It’s really tricky, because they’re so far away. If you send them up into orbit — and there’s been plenty of talk about sending tourists into orbit around the Earth — they’re only a couple of hundred miles away. So if they get into trouble, you might be able to bring them back right away.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If you’re on the back side of the moon, sailing through space out there, it’s hard to do anything.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Watt: We still don’t know who’s going to be on this flight. The Falcon Heavy rocket system that would launch these tourists into space costs\u003ca href=\"http://www.spacex.com/about/capabilities\"> $90 million dollars\u003c/a> by itself, without factoring in the riders. How much could we expect something like this to cost? And what kind of space tourist can afford something like this?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Shostak: The estimates I’ve seen are in the millions of dollars. That’s a lot of money to spend on an interesting weekend. If you’re a billionaire — and there are plenty of billionaires these days — then you’re talking about one-thousandth of your annual income to make this ride. If it cost $3 million to go and see the moon, I think you’d have people every weekend who’d want to go.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Watt: So, drawing on your expertise here: How long would a trip around the moon and back take, and is there a trajectory through space you need to take to get there?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Shostak: Generally you choose the trajectory that involves the least amount of energy, meaning fuel.

And the logo on the rocket will be SpaceX, not NASA — a fact that is \u003ca href=\"http://www.space.com/35861-spacex-could-beat-nasa-to-the-moon.html?utm_source=sp-newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=20170301-sdc\">lost on no one\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The announcement raises interesting questions about the state of space tourism and private space exploration. For answers, we turned to \u003ca href=\"http://www.seti.org/users/sshostak\">Seth Shostak\u003c/a>, Senior Astronomer with the SETI Institute in Mountain View. He sat down with KQED Morning News anchor Brian Watt.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>This conversation has been edited for brevity and clarity.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Watt\u003c/strong>: \u003cstrong>So if this mission goes as planned, it would be the first time in 45 years any human has gone this far into space. This would be a remotely piloted spacecraft. When was the last time we went to the moon, and why haven’t we been back?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

So this is a big thing. It’s 1,000 times farther.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When the Apollo program ended, the assumption was, we’d done what we wanted to do, which was largely geopolitical — we wanted to beat the Russians to the moon, and we did that. And after that, the financial incentive to do more than that kind of faded away. There was a plan to send at least three more manned missions to the moon — they didn’t happen.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignright\">‘It seems easy to build rockets in the movies, it always works. But in real life, it’s not what you would call a mature technology.’\u003ccite>Seth Shostak, SETI Institute\u003c/cite>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>Everyone assumed what was coming down the pike was to send people to our little ruddy buddy, Mars. And so there were plans drawn up, and the president said to NASA, “Okay, figure out how much that’s going to cost.” And they came up with a price tag of something like $500 billion, and he said, “Think again.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So that hasn’t happened. We haven’t sent people any farther into orbit. And I think that on some level, the public is aware that we haven’t done anything spectacular in space for a very long time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Watt: Has Mars essentially usurped the moon as our destination of choice? \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Shostak: I think so. The moon is only 240,000 miles away, which is more or less what I have on my Honda. Mars, on the other hand, is like 30 million miles away. That’s a much bigger trip. You can get to the moon in a couple of days. To get to Mars would take you half a year. And Mars has attractions that the moon doesn’t have. Mars was once a kinder, gentler world with waters on the surface — rivers, lakes, maybe even oceans. It may even still have life under the surface. None of that can be said for the moon. Mars is a more interesting, if a more difficult, target.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Watt: So what does it say about the state of space exploration that a private company is getting astronauts back to the moon before NASA can? Are we going to see more of this kind of private space travel, do you think?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Shostak: I kind of hope that we will, actually. The idea that NASA may over-engineer some things or that they’re too conservative – these may be legitimate complaints.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>NASA is sensitive to the fact that when it kills a couple of people, there’s a big reaction. And private industry doesn’t have that problem yet, because it hasn’t killed anybody. But space is dangerous. I think you liken it to aviation – after the Wright brothers, for many years it was basically a U.S. Army project to develop aircraft. But if the government had stayed the sole developer of airplanes, it would cost you a lot of money to go anywhere in an aircraft today. The private sector got involved, they were able to drive down costs and commercialize it. Today, you can buy an airline ticket for what some people would consider a reasonable price.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I think the same thing may happen in space. If you’re really going to open up space to more people than just a few astronauts every year, then privatization’s a good thing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Watt: You touched on something very important. SpaceX has never flown people before, and it actually has had \u003ca href=\"http://money.cnn.com/2015/06/28/technology/spacex-rocket/\">two rockets\u003c/a> \u003ca href=\"https://www.wired.com/2016/10/cause-spacexs-explosion-gets-little-clearer/\">blow up\u003c/a> in the last two years. Are there some unique risks to a mission like this because it involves a private company? \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Shostak: Well, there is the question of, do you trust their engineering, have they done enough testing? That sort of thing. It seems easy to build rockets in the movies, it always works. But in real life, it’s\u003ca href=\"http://www.popularmechanics.com/space/rockets/a25065/spacex-uphill-battle-crew-approval/\"> not what you would call a mature technology\u003c/a>. So there is that danger. And there’s also the case that if you’re going to send somebody up a couple of hundred thousand miles into space – if they get into trouble up there, it’s very, very hard to get them back. It’s really tricky, because they’re so far away. If you send them up into orbit — and there’s been plenty of talk about sending tourists into orbit around the Earth — they’re only a couple of hundred miles away. So if they get into trouble, you might be able to bring them back right away.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If you’re on the back side of the moon, sailing through space out there, it’s hard to do anything.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Watt: We still don’t know who’s going to be on this flight. The Falcon Heavy rocket system that would launch these tourists into space costs\u003ca href=\"http://www.spacex.com/about/capabilities\"> $90 million dollars\u003c/a> by itself, without factoring in the riders. How much could we expect something like this to cost? And what kind of space tourist can afford something like this?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Shostak: The estimates I’ve seen are in the millions of dollars. That’s a lot of money to spend on an interesting weekend. If you’re a billionaire — and there are plenty of billionaires these days — then you’re talking about one-thousandth of your annual income to make this ride. If it cost $3 million to go and see the moon, I think you’d have people every weekend who’d want to go.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Watt: So, drawing on your expertise here: How long would a trip around the moon and back take, and is there a trajectory through space you need to take to get there?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Shostak: Generally you choose the trajectory that involves the least amount of energy, meaning fuel. Keep in mind that the moon is moving around in space, so whatever way you’re going to go to the moon, you have to loop around a moving target. But we have plenty of experience doing that. The moon is, as I mentioned, 240,000 miles away. This rocket will sail past the moon, and eventually the gravity of the Earth will bring it around, and bring it back to Earth, where it will land. It may go 300,000 or 400,000 miles from Earth.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Watt: So if I’m a space tourist and my check doesn’t bounce, I can tell my family, “I’ll see you in a few days”?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
