In West Texas, USA, a historic space journey has just come to an end. A video of the live launch captured the thrilling moment: the rocket took off into the air, followed by cheers from six women in the capsule, excitedly exchanging the wonders of being in space for the first time, one of whom exclaimed, "The moon looks so huge." ”
About six minutes later, the rocket separated and landed safely as planned, followed by a re-entry capsule carrying the six women and landed safely about five minutes later. The moment the hatch opened, the cabin sounded a voice broadcast of "Welcome back to Earth", and the audience erupted in thunderous applause and cheers.
Immediately afterwards, the crew quickly rushed to the landing site of the return capsule to greet the six female crew members who had just completed the feat of space. The Blue Origin NS-1963 mission was not only a successful space mission, but also marked the first time that an all-female crew had flown on a space mission since Russian cosmonaut Valentina Tereshkova flew solo in 0.
According to several media reports, the list of participants in this mission was personally selected by Sanchez, an executive of Blue Origin. In addition to Sanchez and another woman, Perry, the other four come from rocket engineering, space medicine, television hosting and film production, and together they make up this diverse expedition.
Blue Origin said in a statement: "Sanchez is very honoured to lead this team on this mission. This journey will not only challenge their perception of the planet, but will also inspire them to share their stories that will have a lasting impact and inspire future generations. ”
The founder of Blue Origin is none other than Jeff Bezos, the former CEO of Amazon. As early as 2021, Bezos completed a space journey in his company's aircraft. The execution of this all-female crew mission once again demonstrates Blue Origin's ambition and strength in the field of space exploration.
Regarding this space mission, some experts pointed out that it was actually a "suborbital flight", that is, the spacecraft flew at a maximum altitude beyond the Kármán line (about 4 kilometers above the ground) and entered the atmosphere into outer space, but the speed was not enough to maintain its stay in space. The entire journey lasted about 0 minutes, of which about 0 minutes were in weightlessness.
桑切斯與貝索斯的戀情也是公眾關注的焦點之一。兩人自2019年公開戀情以來,一直備受矚目。去年,貝索斯用一枚價值250萬美元的20克拉鑽戒向桑切斯求婚,桑切斯在接受採訪時回憶道:“當他打開盒子時,我幾乎要暈過去了。”訂婚後,兩人在義大利貝索斯價值5億美元的遊艇上舉辦了一場奢華派對,邀請了眾多名人參加。
儘管去年年底有傳言稱兩人計劃在美國科羅拉多州阿斯彭舉辦一場耗資6億美元的婚禮,但這一說法遭到了貝索斯本人的否認。不過,據最新消息透露,兩人的婚禮計劃仍在進行中,並有望在今年夏季晚些時候舉行。
