As technology and science advance, little by little, space trips are being normalized. And although it is still very far from being something similar to taking a flight to another country, space traffic has increased significantly in recent decades.
To the level that the first trip to the commercial space of Virgin Galactic has already occurred, where to occupy a position on one of these trips they had to deposit $ 150,000 for reservation and subsequently, pay another $ 300,000.
But this is not the only company that does not only reserve these coveted holes in their spacecraft to professional astronauts, and an example of this is The company owned by Jeff Bezos, Blue Origin. And it is that the New Shepard ship has reserved a site for a well -known Spanish adventurer, a person who does not surprise you completely who is wrapped in a space mission, even if he has no experience in it.
It is about Montañero and television presenter Jesús Callejawhich has an assigned seat on a mission, it could be the NS-30, in the New Shepard ship in Blue Origin with five other travelers. This ship has not yet put the capsule in orbit, what it has done has been to successfully achieve a propulsive landing, being the first to achieve it and surpass the company of Elon Musk.
That is why These commercial flights can be allowedthat while the rocket returns to the surface to land, the ship Makes a free flight between three and four minutes in the space that allows travelers to experience microgravity and enjoy the landscape views of the earth.
Although the announcement has been made through a new documentary called ‘Calleja in space’, which has already released two episodes in Amazon Prime Video, for the moment There is no established date for takeoff, which can be followed live from Telecinco.
At that time, in which Calleja crosses the known as a karm line, the boundary between atmosphere and exterior space, The Leon will become the third Spaniard to travel to space, Behind the former NASA astronaut Michael López-Elegría and the former astronaut of ESA, and former minister of science, innovation and universities of Spain, Pedro Duque.
An interesting aspect, and for now is confidentialis how much this seat has costwe know for a filtration of the past that Moundao, an organization to “decentralize access to space”, bought two seats in the New Shepard ship for 1.25 million dollars each.
We do not believe that neither Calleja nor its producer have paid this amount for a seat, perhaps because the documentary leaves in Amazon Prime, company owned by Bezos have reached some kind of advertising agreement or similar to reduce the costs of the ticket.
