  • Following the Path That Heroes Carved Into History: Space Tourism, Heritage, and Faith in the Future
    religions Article Following the Path That Heroes Carved into History: Space Tourism, Heritage, and Faith in the Future Deana L. Weibel Departments of Anthropology and Integrative, Religious, and Intercultural Studies, Grand Valley State University, Allendale, MI 49401, USA; [email protected] Received: 29 November 2019; Accepted: 28 December 2019; Published: 2 January 2020 Abstract: Human spaceflight is likely to change in character over the 21st century, shifting from a military/governmental enterprise to one that is more firmly tied to private industry, including businesses devoted to space tourism. For space tourism to become a reality, however, many obstacles have to be overcome, particularly those in finance, technology, and medicine. Ethnographic interviews with astronauts, engineers, NASA doctors, and NewSpace workers reveal that absolute faith in the eventual human occupation of space, based in religious conviction or taking secular forms, is a common source of motivation across different populations working to promote human spaceflight. This paper examines the way faith is expressed in these different contexts and its role in developing a future where space tourism may become commonplace. Keywords: anthropology; tourism; spaceflight; NASA; heritage; exploration 1. Introduction Space tourism is an endeavor, similar to but distinctly different from other forms of space travel, that relies on its participants’ and brokers’ faith that carrying out brave expeditions, modeled on and inspired by those in the past, will ultimately pay off in a better future for humankind. Faith, in this case, refers to a subjective sense that a particular future is guaranteed and may or may not have religious foundations. This faith appears to be heightened by the collective work undertaken by groups endeavoring to send humans into space, creating a sense of what anthropologists Victor and Edith Turner have described as communitas, a shared feeling of equality and common purpose.

  • Anousheh Ansari Frequently Asked Questions 1. Aside from the Thrill Of
    Anousheh Ansari Frequently Asked Questions 1. Aside from the thrill of space travel itself, what did Anousheh hope to accomplish with her trip to the space station? Anousheh wants to show people everywhere – especially children and women in the Middle East – that they can accomplish their dreams, no matter how big. In addition, she is encouraging children to pursue science and math education that is key to future accomplishments in space. 2. When did Anousheh first dream of going into space? As a young girl growing up in Tehran, Iran, Anousheh fell in love with the stars. She watched reruns of shows such as Lost in Space and Star Trek that were dubbed in Farsi. Anousheh even begged her parents to let her sleep on the balcony, so she could spend hours gazing into space. This enthusiasm for space and space travel has only grown stronger through the years. 3. How was Anousheh able to travel into space? Anousheh contracted with Space Adventures to travel to the International Space Station as part of the crew of the Soyuz TMA-9. She was initially asked to be the backup for Japanese private space explorer Daisuke Enomoto. When he was medically disqualified a few weeks before the mission, Anousheh was elevated to the primary crew of the Soyuz TMA-9. 4. What is Space Adventures? Founded in 1998, Space Adventures, Ltd. is a space tourism, entertainment and event- production company dedicated to helping the public experience space today. 5. What was the best part of Anousheh’s trip into space? Anousheh has said that gazing upon the Earth was a profound experience.

  • Elon Musk: Eerste Ruimtetoerist Is Wellicht Japanner
    De Rijkste Belgen Ranking van de Rijkste Belgen https://derijkstebelgen.be UPDATE - Elon Musk: eerste ruimtetoerist is wellicht Japanner Date : 16 september 2018 Morgen maakt SpaceX, het ruimtevaartbedrijf van Elon Musk, de naam bekend van de eerste passagier die de diepe ruimte in gaat. Meteen zal ook de motivatie van de ruimtereiziger bekend worden gemaakt. Volgens SpaceX gaat het om een belangrijke stap in de ruimtevaartindustrie. Er werden zo goed als geen details bekend gemaakt, buiten het feit dat de première plaats zal vinden met de Big Falcon raket van SpaceX. Musk liet uitschijnen dat het om een Japanse passagier gaat. Hij tweette immers een emoji met de Japanse vlag. De ruimtereis kost ergens iets tussen 100 en 130 miljoen euro. Juiste prijzen worden niet bekend gemaakt. In elk geval is duidelijk dat de eerste passagier een miljardair moet zijn. De Britse krant The Independent legde er de Rich List van Forbes naast en ontdekte dat er 34 potentiële Japanse ruimtereizigers op staan. De meeste onder hen zijn echter te oud om het avontuur aan te kunnen. Wie mee wil met de Big Falcon moet strenge gezondheidstests doorstaan. Gezondheid was de struikelsteen voor de nu 49-jarige Japanse manager Daisuke Enomoto die in 2006 werd afgewezen als ruimtevaarttoerist. In 2006 wou Enomoto de vierde betalende astronaut worden die meevloog met een Russische raket naar het ruimtestation ISS dat in een baan om de aarde vliegt. Dat verhaal ging niet door wanneer werd ontdekt dat Enomoto risico liep op chronische niersteen ontwikkeling. Enomoto raakte ook in een juridisch geschil 1 / 2 verwikkeld met het Amerikaanse bedrijf Space Adventures waaraan hij 21 miljoen dollar betaalde voor een 2 jaar durende astronauten opleiding.

    WORLD SPACECRAFT DIGEST by Jos Heyman 1998 Version: 10 July 2016 © Copyright Jos Heyman 1998 001A (25131) Name: Lunar Prospector Country: USA Launch date: 7 January 1998 Re-entry: 31 July 1999 Launch site: Cape Canaveral Launch vehicle: Athena 2 Orbit: 99 x 100 km, inclination: 90.1 ° The Lunar Prospector was the third mission in NASA's Discovery series of spacecraft and was built by Lockheed Martin. The mission objective was to place the spacecraft in a lunar orbit from which it spend a year mapping the surface of the Moon whilst at the same time looking for reservoirs of water which might be in the polar caps. The 126 kg spacecraft carried a series of instruments which evolved from Apollo instrumentation from the seventies: 1. the Gamma Ray Spectrometer (GSR) which provided global maps of the elemental composition of the surface layer of the Moon; 2. the Alpha Particle Spectrometer (APS) to detect radon outgassing on the lunar surface; 3. the Neutron Spectrometer (NS) to detect water ice; 4. the Electron Reflectometer (ER) to map the lunar magnetic fields; 5. the Magnetometer (MAG), another instrument to map the lunar magnetic fields; 6. the Doppler Gravity Experiment (DGE) to determine the lunar gravity field. Also carried was a small container with the ashes of Eugene Shoemaker, a famous discoverer of comets who had passed away in 1997. This container was designated as Celestis-2 and the payload was also known as Luna 1 flight. The spacecraft did not carry a control computer, instead it was fully controlled by a team on Earth.
