Kwenzeka! ICosmos yaba yimfihlo, futhi lokhu akulona ihlaya. Inkampani ye-ILONA Mask yethula i-rocket enama-Astronauts aseMelika. Manje ibhilioare ingaziqhenya ngaye futhi isule ikhala kuwo wonke umuntu owayengakholelwa kuye. Ukwethulwa kwakusakazwa eziteshini zethelevishini zomhlaba, kwakukhona izigidi zezigidi zabantu basemhlabeni. Lo mcimbi wenzeka eCosmodrome yomlando yeCape Canaveral eFlorida.
Kusuka emzameni wokuqala wokuthumela i-falcon 9 yehlulekile. Ngivimbele isimo sezulu esibi, amanye amaphutha ekubaleni. Kepha lokhu akuzange kuvimbele impumelelo yomzamo wesibili. Ukwethulwa kwe-Falcon 9 kudluliselwe kwimodi ejwayelekile, isigaba sokuqala sibuyele emhlabathini futhi sami kahle endaweni yokuntanta olwandle i-Atlantic Ocean.
Ekuqaleni komkhumbi, uMongameli wase-US D. Trump waqashelwa. Wafika eCape Canaveral ukwenza ngokunqoba kwe-American Billionaire. Ukuhlukaniswa kwesigaba sesibili kwahlangatshezwa ihlombe. Emva kwalokho, umkhumbi onama-astronauts ebhodini ungene emjikelezweni womhlaba okokugcina.
Iqembu le-Astronaut linguNasa Bob Benken kanye nabashayeli bezindiza bakaDoug Herley. Lawa ngama-veterans angempela oHlelo lweSpay wase-US, olusebenza ngokuhlolwa kwabashayeli bezempi kanye nokundiza okungaphezu kwe- "shuttle". I-Crew izosebenzisa izinsuku ezingaphezu kwe-100 e-Orbit, bese ibuyela emhlabeni.
UCrew Dragon ukuguqulwa okuthuthukile kweloli kadrako. Imodeli ayiyintsha ezindizeni ze-Inderdellar, kwase kuthunyelwa ku-ISS kuyo. Umkhumbi ongenakundiza waphuthunyiswa esiteshini yi-Falcon 9 Carriers, yonke imishini yaqhutshwa ngaphandle kokuzibandakanya kwezinkanyezi.
Izinqubo Zobuchwepheshe ze-Crew of Pilots zizothatha isikhathi, bese ama-Astronauts azokwazi ukujoyina abashayeli bezindiza abase-ISS. Umshini wokuqala wendiza ovela enkampanini yangasese udlulile ngokuphelele. Umcimbi womlando ngoMeyi 30, 2020 uzongena e-Annala Nasa ukuthi kungenzeka ukuthi abaseMelika bandize esikhaleni ngaphandle kokubambisana nezinsizakalo zaseRussia.
Mhlawumbe okubaluleke kakhulu yi-mission evuthayo ye-NASA. Inkonzo yase-US State yaphoqeleka ukuthi indiza iye kwi-ISS emikhunjini yeRussia Federation. Kungezwe kuphela ezinkingeni zaseMelika futhi yaphoqelelwa ukuthi ibeke izidingo futhi ifeze yonke imibandela.
Ukuphothulwa okuchumayo kwe-mission kuzobuyisa i-United States ezikhundleni ezazisele ngo-2011. AbaseMelika baphoqeleka ukuba banciphise uhlelo lwe-Space Shuttle futhi benqabe ukuzama ukunqoba ngokuzimela isikhala.
E-Russia, kwethulwa izinkanyezi ezivela e-United States zazenziwa ziphakeme kakhulu. Abaphenyi abaningi nososayensi bayavuma ukuthi izinhlelo ezimbili zokuhamba esikhaleni zingcono kakhulu kunoyedwa.
I-NASA nayo yathola ukuhalalisela kusuka ku-Dmitry Rogozin, umqondisi jikelele weRussia Corporation. Engqungqutheleni ebanjelwe, i-Ilon Mask ikhumbuze uRogozin ihlaya lakhe. Ngo-2014, umqondisi jikelele wasongela ngokuthi uma abantu baseRussia benqaba ukuletha abantu baseMelika e-Orbit, bekuzofanela beze ne-trampoline. Imaski ngenhliziyo yahleka futhi yaphendula uRogozin: "IBatuta iyasebenza."
Imicimbi izokhula kanjani, isikhathi sizokhombisa. Ukuthuthukiswa kwendawo kungaba yindawo entsha yokukhubeka noma ukuletha izifunda ezimbili. Kepha nokho usuku lokuqalisa u-Crew Dragon luzohlala emlandweni njengolokuqala futhi kuphela lapho i-rocket ihamba ingena emkhathini isuka enkampanini yangasese.
Thumela umyalezo wokuqala we-Pilotled Pilot, owethulwe yinkampani yangasese - I-Ilon Mask yethule umkhumbi kwi-ISS yavela kuqala kubuchwepheshe bolwazi.
