The Dhaka Times Desk Elon Musk, the leader of Tesla, has ranked number two in the list of the world's richest people according to the recent 'Bloomberg Billionaire Index', surpassing the leader of Microsoft company, Bill Gates. He is now planning to travel to space.
This billionaire is going to take grand plans in space travel. He is thinking of making a spacecraft that can carry at least 100 people together instead of carrying only 4/5 explorers each time.
Besides Tesla, Elon Musk owns several companies. 'SpaceX' is his third company. He established this company in 2002. Within 6 years of this, his company started sending necessary items to the International Space Station by joining with NASA.
This SpaceX has brought the golden opportunity of space travel to common people. The company has announced the first commercial launch of this mission this year. The project is named 'Inspiration 4'. Which is scheduled to be launched in the fourth quarter of this year.
For those who want to travel to space, 4 astronauts will be carried there in the SpaceX Crew Dragon capsule. In the next 15 months, the organization will travel to space a total of 7 times.
Elon Musk is also working on a vehicle that, according to him, will be a 'game changer' for space exploration. Its name is Starship. A spacecraft that can carry at least 100 people together instead of carrying only 4/5 astronauts each time. Just like a passenger plane!
100 people will fly to Mars. Even more surprising is that the vehicle will also be recyclable. In other words, after returning from Lalgraha, you can leave for Lalgraha again with 100 passengers.
Elon's dream spaceship is two parts of a starship. The rocket part is super heavy and basically the name of the spacecraft part is Starship. The length of both together will be 394 feet. That is, 36/37 floors equal to the house! Only the length of the starship is 160 feet.
The fuel tank will be in the middle of it. Which will also contain liquid methane and liquid oxygen. Both together are called Methaxol. Methane is the main fuel. which will propel this vehicle forward. And liquid oxygen will help methane to burn.
The length of the Super Heavy is 230 feet with a capacity of 3,400 tons of methaxol in the rocket section. Its engine is capable of carrying loads from 100 to 150 tons.
The starship will separate from the superheavies after passing through space. But like other spacecraft, this rocket will not roam like a refugee in space. It will return to the launch pad again to pick up passengers for a second spacewalk.
Elon also plans to have 40 individual cabins within the Starship. Each cabin can accommodate 4 to 5 people. But initially he planned to keep 3 people in the cabin. That is why this vehicle will carry at least 100 passengers.
Similarly, the starship will return to its launch pad only after the space travel is complete. And then the preparations for the next expedition of the starship will begin.
NASA has already donated 135 million dollars to Elon Musk's project to build this starship. There are also plans to land starships on the moon.
By 2023, Starship is expected to carry passengers first to the orbit of the Moon and then to the orbit of Mars. It will return again after 7 days orbiting the moon. That's why ticket booking will start two to three years in advance.
Note that Elon Musk was born in 1971 in Pretoria, South Africa. Father was a big engineer. Mother was a popular Canadian model. The fame and prestige that he has today was rooted in his childhood.
Ever since he was young, Elon Musk always thought about inventing new things. He used to experiment with various things all the time. His imagination was completely unfettered. Elon Musk was always so lost in imagination that he did not answer anyone's calls. It is because of that unfettered imagination that the foundation of the future of human civilization is going to be laid with his hands. Today he is standing at the top of a fame in the world. Maybe go further and move the world forward.
