Enkosi ngomsebenzi oqhutywa ziinkampani ezinje ngeBlue Origin, iVirgin Galactic kunye neSpaceX, uninzi ziinkampani zabucala eziqonda amandla amakhulu aqala ukubonelela ngendawo yokuhamba ngenqwelomoya kubakhenkethi. Kuba ayimangalisi into yokuba e-China baqala ukusebenza kwiprojekthi apho kulindeleke ukuba baphuhlise indiza yasemajukujukwini.
Njengokuqinisekiswa yiNzululwazi eNtsha, iBeijing Vehicle Launch Technology Academy, inkampani yabucala exhaswa ngurhulumente waseTshayina uqobo, iphuhlisa inqwelomoya eyakuba nayo Isikhundla sokuthwala abakhweli abangama-20 bebonke ukuya kwiindawo ezingaphandle kweplanethi yethu.
Njengeenkcukacha, xelela ukuba asithethi ngeprojekthi yobudala. Umzekelo woku kukuba uyilo lokuqala sele lubonisiwe kwiNkomfa yaMazwe ngaMazwe yezeNkwenkwezi eyenzeke kwiiveki ezimbalwa ezidlulileyo eGuadalajara (eMexico). Phakathi kwezona zinto zinomdla, qaphela ukuba inqwelomoya yenziwe isiqwenga esinye esinokwandiswa ukulungiselela abakhweli abaninzi.
Inkampani yabucala yaseTshayina iphuhlisa indawo yenqwelomoya yabakhenkethi.
Njengoko umvelisi wale projekthi egqabaze, inqwelomoya yendawo iya kuba ngumzekelo wokuba abantu abaninzi bangakwazi ukuhambisa ngaphakathi kwiplanethi. Njengeenkcukacha, xelela ukuba sithetha ngokusisiseko malunga irokhethi enamaphiko Iya kuba nakho ukuthatha nkqo ngokuthe nkqo, ngelixa umqhubi wenqwelomoya ozimeleyo uza kusetyenziselwa ukufika emhlabeni.
Okwangoku inkampani sele ineendlela ezimbini zokuyila le nqwelomoya. Kwindawo enye sifumana imodeli emalunga neemitha ezi-6 ukuphakama kunye neetoni ezili-10 zobunzima ngomthamo wokuthutha 5 abantu kubude beekhilomitha ezili-100 kwisantya seMak 6 ukunika imizuzu emibini yobunzima.
Okwesibini, sifumana inqwelomoya enamaphiko akhula aye kwiimitha ezili-12 enobunzima beetoni ezili-100. Enkosi kule milinganiselo amandla akhula ukuya 20 abantu Uya kuba nakho ukubhabha kubude beekhilomitha ezili-130 eMach 8 eziya kuthi zibanike imizuzu emine yobunzima.
