What kind of experience is space travel?

In the interview, the reporter once experienced the physical model of the manned space capsule "New Shepard" with blue origin, and simulated a "space journey" with a length of about 1 1 minute on the ground. The manned cabin is small and exquisite, with precise design, and can accommodate 6 passengers. Its landing observation porthole area is about three times that of Boeing 747, which is convenient for space observation.

After the reporter was seated, the countdown indicated that the rocket was about to "lift off". The LCD screen in front of the seat shows the pictures of rocket ignition, launch and liftoff, and shows real-time data such as the altitude and speed of the aircraft. A few minutes later, the screen prompts the rocket to help the engine stall, the arrow ship separates, and the plane has reached an altitude of about 100 km.

At this point, the passengers in the plane enter a weightless state for about 4 minutes, and they can unfasten their seat belts and float in the space capsule. Then the capsule began to "return" to the ground, feeling like a free fall on a roller coaster.

Commercial space travel moves from "science fiction" to "reality";
