The Bosos Rockets failed, and the victory of the "planet Shawen" is the best way to fight?

Author:Look at the think tank Time:2022.09.20

As a businessman and investor, Jeff Bezos, the global "rich" Amazon founder, is obviously unique. However, he continued to invest in a company that has been losing money and has not been profitable in the near future -this is the "Blue Origin" that he founded in 2000. On the 12th, the "New Shepade" rocket of "Blue Origin" failed for the first time, and once again "eat" his millions of dollars assets.

Increase 1 billion, closes 100 million

This time the launch was the third -generation "New Shepade" Rockets, which aims to send 36 scientific loads into the Asian orbit space to fly, that is, up to 100 kilometers above sea level (the definition of the universe boundary), experience a few minutes of micro -gravity for a few minutes of micro -gravity. However, it will not complete the one -week track of the earth; among them, 18 scientific research loads originated from NASA (NASA), and the rest are derived from universities and researchers. Similar to NASA's own experience of "Artemis 1" Lunar Rocket, the "New Shepad" Rockets was originally planned to be on August 31, but it was finally postponed to September 12 due to weather.

On the same day, just one minute after lift, about 5 miles (about 8050 meters) from the ground, the rocket's booster engine suddenly ignited suddenly during the rise. Immediately, the spacecraft immediately triggered the suspension of the engine system, sprayed out the rocket where the cabin had problems, and then the spacecraft landed safely. This is the first time the commercial rocket launch failed in the "Blue Origin", and it is also the first major accident that has occurred since the company opened to the public.

The video released by "Blue Origin" showed that the rocket launch failed. The space cabin trigger system, open three resistance umbrellas to slow down its whereabouts.

At present, the cause of the fault is under investigation. The Federal Aviation Administration has called the subsequent launch plan of "blue origin" to determine whether any system, process or procedure related to the accident will affect public safety.

The "Blue Origin" also confirmed on Twitter that the rocket aid machine failed, but the "escape system runs according to the design", and added: "During today's flight, the spacecraft escape system successfully pushed the spacecraft with the booster with the boost system. The device is separated. The booster finally hit the ground. There is no report of casualties. "

This launch is the first time that the "Blue Origin" has launched a non -carried rocket since August last year. Since July 2021, Bezos himself personally took the fourth -generation "New Shepade" Rockets (slightly different from the rocket type that failed this launch) and flew to 107 kilometers above sea level, achieving the first pure people in history to carry manned space manned space. Since the flight, the "Blue Origin" has launched a total of six manned space flights, and 32 people have experienced a few minutes of loss. At present, the "Blue Origin" has obtained more than $ 100 million in revenue by selling space travel. However, Bezos claims to sell Amazon's Amazon shares of $ 1 billion each year in order to invest in the "blue origin"; in comparison, the "blue origin" seems to be difficult to achieve profitability.

The current Rockets of "Blue" do not compete directly with the more famous Musk's "SpaceX", because the "New Shepad" Rockets do not have the ability to continue to fly around the earth. What is more directly compete with it is the "Virgin Galaxy" owned by Richard Branson, the chairman of Virgin Airlines, and "Virgin Galaxy" also provides a few minutes of weight loss experience for wealthy customers. Bryson experienced the feeling of weightlessness a week in July 2021, but because the flight deviated from the original route, the "Virgin Galaxy" was stopped by the US Federal Aviation Administration to stop all flights. And its space aircraft cannot temporarily enter space like the "New Schashid" rocket.

Bezos shouted Musk:

The space colonial station similar to "Gundam" should be constructed

According to Besos himself, he created the "blue origin" of not to make the global elite for a few minutes, nor the purpose of "burning his hands". During a "Blue Origin" event on May 9, 2019, Besce proposed his vision for the "blue origin".

He said that when looking up at the vast universe, people should not adhere to "planets sandwich", that is, human society will always live on the planet; he re -proposed that American physicist Gerard K. O'Neil ) The "O'Neal cylindrical" space colonial station that has been proposed believes that this should be the future ownership of human beings.

This statement seems to be a major competitor Musk. When Musk attended his "SpaceX" event, and on Twitter, he repeatedly proposed that colonial Mars, as his ultimate vision of "SpaceX", or at least a crucial node. Musk believes that there are water, carbon dioxide, sufficient light, gravity and self -speed close to the earth, and only months of journey to the earth. Many aspects are suitable for humans. The comprehensive "glutinous" of Mars makes it basically tantamount to Earth. However, many people, including Bezos, pointed out that Mars's gravitational gravity is only one -third of the earth, and lacks the atmosphere to prevent radiation and maintain ecology. The technology is basically equal to "one go".

In contrast, the "O'Neal Cylphus" space colonial station is a super large space station (about 5 kilometers in diameter and 20 kilometers long) of the materials such as meteorites such as meteorites. Get the sun through the mirror and simulate the gravity of arbitrary strength through the centrifugal force generated by rotation. Internal isolated from the outside world, almost all environmental conditions can be designed and controlled by humans, and can carry 10 million people.

When O'Neal officially proposed this idea in 1976 in "High Union -Plusal: Human Colonial Colonial in Space", he pointed out that the construction of the "O'Neal Cylphus" space colonial station was completely within the scope of human technical capabilities at that time, and believed that the first monthly manufacturing was manufactured Base (due to the rich resources and low gravity of the moon, that is, lower launch costs) can be completed within a few years. It is expected that the first colonial station will be completed in the early 21st century, which will cost "billions".

This obviously did not happen. In the introduction of the 2000 version of "High Union -Plusal: Humans in the Colonial in Space", physicist Freeman Dyson believes that O'Neal mistakenly assumes that NASA will give him conceived support.

The Aerospace plan of NASA was born in the background of the Cold War. The main purpose of international prestige and scientific research exploration, and long -term settlement in space is obviously not the best way to achieve these two goals. Moreover, NASA has also faced many domestic domestic criticism of lack of competition pressure, which has not reduced costs and often delayed launch.

Dyson also believes that to realize O'Neal's vision, the most important thing is to reduce the cost of rocket launch. Bezos emphasized in his introduction that this is exactly what the "blue origin" wants to achieve. He pointed out that the recycling rocket component reduced the launch cost by 25 times (in view of the "Blue Origin" selection does not disclose commercial and technical information, the outside world does not know the specific amount of the cost).

The design of the "Blue Origin" rocket seems to be in line with Bezos's vision. "Blue Origin" currently the "New Shepade" rocket is very short, only 18 meters high, and a single thrust of 490 thousand Nichon. The thrust 13.3 MPonon is smaller than the "Star Ship" Rockets that are planned to go to Mars than the "SpaceX" plan to go to Mars.

However, Bezos did not want to develop rockets that can shuttle between planets. He plans to launch the "Blue Moon" Lunar Lunar Lunar Lunar to the moon with the "New Gelun" rocket to the moon, and gradually build O'Neal's imagination of the moon industrial production base. Bezos himself did not announce the timeline of his own lunar exploration plan and expected to spend funds, but as of 2017, he had invested $ 2.5 billion in the Rocket Rockets. During the period, because the "Blue Moon" lunar cabin can land on its own, the "New Gelun" Rockets do not need to land on an astronomical body other than the earth.

The effective load from the "New Gelun" Rockets to the near -ground orbit is 45 tons, which will be larger than most rockets on the market, but it is not as good as the "Space Launch System" rocket used by NASA to return to the moon. "SpaceX Star Ship" rocket 100 tons. However, the difference between the "New Gelun" rocket is that the fuel will use liquid hydrogen without fuel. The reason is that space has no fuel, but as long as there is solid or liquid water, hydrogen can be extracted to achieve local fuel.

The lunar landing plan of Bezos should be later than the NASA's delayed lunar exploration plan. According to NASA, after launching the "Artemis 1" Rockets this year, it is planned to launch "Artemis 2", which launch a manned to fly over the moon in 2024, and in 2025 to launch the "Ah Ah Ah" Eryimis No. 3 ". However, the purpose of NASA's moon landing is to use relevant experience and infrastructure to Mars one day instead of building a space colonial station; if it is based on Bezos and O'Neal, the NASA reflects the "planet Shawenism".

Although "O'Neal Cylina" has gradually forgotten the mainstream of the aerospace industry because of its economic unrealistic economic unrealistic, it still attracts the attention of the film and television industry. Gundam's spread of "O'Neal Cylina" is particularly significant, so that many netizens who first learned about O'Neal himself thought that he stole the inspiration of "O'Neal Cyrus" from the "Mobility Warrior Gundam".

The resource of the universe starts human "unlimited development"?

As for why to develop in space, he and Musk have a risk and one eye -catching opportunity. Musk believes that humans need to find the "second earth" to reduce the risk of human extinction on the earth, while "the beauty of spreading human civilization." Bezos believes that if humans continue to stay on the earth, sooner or later will face the upper limit of energy and resource, and then it will be implemented by reducing living standards, unless human beings break through the earth's resources and energy restrictions and move towards the universe.

O'Neal himself is similar to Besos. He believes that the global population will grow infinitely, exceeding the upper limit of the earth's environment and resources, so it is necessary to move to space as soon as possible. However, in recent years, with the continuous innovation of agricultural production, technology has increased the resources and use efficiency of human beings, and the negative growth of the population in many countries in the world. His initial assumptions obviously have certain problems; There is no attempt to build an "O'Neal Cylphus" (to a certain extent, Bezos repeats his misjudgment). However, his concerns about the unsustainable consumption of earth resources and the natural environment of consumption of human beings are obviously very appropriate with today.

However, whether to avoid extinction or to obtain unlimited resources, the possibility of space is obviously not enough to solve the dilemma of human beings.

Originally, a selling point of "Blue Origin" seemed to be safer than the former, and enjoyed the nearly perfect launch power (the only previous launch failure was a 201 booster test). This launch failed and broke the myth. Besides, the "Blue Origin" has only launched a total of 30 rocket launches, and the "Falcon 9" rocket with "SpaceX" has been launched 178 times; One important reason is because progress lags behind "SpaceX". Before carrying out a comprehensive manned space, the two must completely ensure the safety of the Rockets.

Whether Musk nor Bessel, neither revealed how he planned to realize the vision of space colonization. Musk had compared it with the "United Pacific Railway" at the "SpaceX" event, indicating that both of them were only responsible for establishing a traffic system to the "New World". How to develop is not responsible for "SpaceX". In addition to "reducing the cost of aerospace" and landing on the moon in a certain year, Bosos did not try to outline the plan to build a "O'Neal Cylphus" space colonial station.

Musk's own Mars program also had a "wolf coming" taste. He said in 2016 that he would soft landing Mars in 2018, and in 2017, he said that he planned to soft landing in Mars in 2022. At present, the timeline has been pushed back to 2024, and it is planned to carry people to Mars in 2026. Other organizations, including the bankruptcy "Mars One", have promised that "we will be manned to Mars in a few years later", so that this has become a stalk in the field of space; Return to the moon first and then consider Mars. However, the "artificial solar" energy, which was once "achieved forever", seemed to have made progress recently.

Perhaps in the future, he will really meet him from the stars. However, that day was still far away. On the occasion of waiting, we should step on the earth to protect our only home.
