LONDON - Nzendo dzemarefu-refu dzinogona kuitwa muzvikepe panzvimbo yendege mumakore makumi maviri kana kuedza kweMhandara yekutengeserana nzvimbo yekufamba kwakabudirira, mutungamiri weVirgin Galactic akaudza Reuters mubvunzurudzo.
Will Whitehorn akati hurongwa hweMhandara hwekuendesa vashanyi muchadenga ingori nhanho yekutanga inogona kuvhura mikana yakawanda yekambani, kusanganisira sainzi yemuchadenga, mapurazi emacomputer server ari muchadenga uye kutsiva ndege dzenguva refu.
Mhandara Galactic, chikamu cheRichard Branson's Virgin Group, yakaunganidza madhora miriyoni makumi mana emadhora kubva kune vangangove vashanyi venzvimbo kusanganisira nyanzvi yefizikisi Stephen Hawking uye aimbove mutyairi wemujaho Niki Lauda, uye anotarisira kutanga nzendo dzekutengesa mukati memakore maviri.
Whitehorn akati kubhuka kubva kuvanhu mazana matatu vanoda kubhadhara zviuru mazana maviri emadhora ega ega kuti yendege yaita kuti Mhandara ivepo. Parizvino iri kuita ndege dzekuyedza uye inotarisira munguva pfupi iri kutevera kuhwina rezinesi kubva kuFederal Aviation Authority.
"Taifanira kuziva kuti tine hurongwa hwebhizimisi hwakanaka," akadaro pamucheto weFIPP World Magazine Congress, kwaakange akokwa kuti ataure nezvehutsva.
Mhandara inoti tekinoroji yayo, iyo inoburitsa chitundumuseremusere mumhepo ichipinda mumhepo ichishandisa ndege inotakura jet, ine hushamwari hwezvakatipoteredza kupfuura tekinoroji yeroketi yakavhurwa pasi pasi.
Izvo zvisiri-metallic zvinhu zvakavakwa spaceship zvakare zvakareruka uye zvinoda simba shoma pane, semuenzaniso, maNASA's space shuttles, Whitehorn anopikisa.
Anofanoona mashandisirwo emuchadenga mukuyedza kwesainzi, semuenzaniso seimwe nzira yekushanyira International Space Station kana kushandisa ndege dzisina munhu kumakambani emishonga ari kutsvaga kushandisa microgravity kushandura zvidimbu.
Gare gare, ndege yaigona kushandiswa kuburitsa masatellite madiki kana kutora mamwe mitoro mudenga, Whitehorn anodaro. "Tinogona kuisa mapurazi edu ese munzvimbo zviri nyore."
Achibvunzwa nezve kukanganiswa kwezvakatipoteredza, anoti vanogona kunge vaine solar-powered, uye anoti chero mamiriro ezvinhu anovenga vacuum ari muchadenga anoita kuti zviome kukuvadza kunze kwekusiya marara kumashure.
“Kusvibisa nzvimbo kwakaoma zvikuru,” akadaro.
Pakupedzisira, anoona bviro yokutakura vatakurwi kuenda kunzvimbo dzapasi nezvitundumuseremusere zviri kunze kwemhepo yakapoteredza pasi panzvimbo pendege. Anoti rwendo rwekubva kuBritain kuenda kuAustralia runogona kuitwa mukati memaawa 2-1/2.
"Ndiyo makore makumi maviri," akadaro.
Mhandara haisiriyo yega bato risiri rehurumende riri kuedza kuvandudza mafambiro emuchadenga munzvimbo yakavanzika, asi Whitehorn ane chivimbo chekuti ichave yekutanga kutora vafambi kuenda muchadenga.
SpaceX, inotungamirwa nemukuru weSilicon Valley muzvinabhizimusi Elon Musk, iri kugadzira mota dzekuvhura nzvimbo asi hadzina kugadzirwa kutakura vafambi.
Whitehorn akati akagamuchira mashoko akawanda ekufarira kubva kune zvemari nemamwe masangano nemakambani anoda kutora chikamu mubhizinesi, izvo zvaaizofunga.
"Tinoona mukana wekuti tichakwanisa kuunza investor," akadaro. "Ini ndinofunga kuchave nemudhuri wemari inopinda munzvimbo yakavanzika."
Achibvunzwa nezve hushamwari hwezvakatipoteredza kusimudzira kushanya kwemuchadenga, uko pasina munhu anoda pakutanga, Whitehorn akati hapana chimwe chezvirongwa zveramangwana chaaifunga chingagoneke pasina kutanga aratidza muenzaniso webhizinesi.
"Haugone kugadzira hurongwa panguva ino usina kugadzira misika," akadaro.
Akataurawo kuti chiitiko chekuona Nyika kubva muchadenga chaizoshandura mafungiro evanhu.
“Kusvika pari zvino kwangove nevanhu mazana mashanu vari muchadenga, uye mumwe nemumwe atenga madhora makumi mashanu kusvika kumadhora zana paavhareji,” vakadaro. "Wese astronaut inyanzvi yezvakatipoteredza."
