此次成功为下一步将两名旅客送上月球的载人任务开辟了道路,尽管SpaceX似乎正在偏离原定于今年底之前实现这一目标的时间表。这也标志着向马斯克的终极目标——登陆火星迈出了重要一步。不过,这一任务将取决于SpaceX被戏称为BFR(Big Fucking Rocket)的下一款火箭的成功。
The US space establishment was initially wary of tech billionaires such as Mr Musk and the Amazon founder Jeff Bezos, when they first declared their ambitions to run their own private space programmes. But Nasa quickly came to admire the highly innovative and hard-charging attitude that these entrepreneurs have brought to the business. Such has been Nasa’s faith in Mr Musk that it has even granted SpaceX a licence to operate from the hallowed ground of Launchpad 39A, the site from which Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin and Michael Collins blasted off to the Moon in 1969.
当马斯克、亚马逊(Amazon)创始人杰夫·贝索斯(Jeff Bezos)等科技亿万富翁首次宣布开展私人太空项目的雄心时,美国太空当局起初对他们心存警惕。但美国国家航空航天局(NASA)很快就开始称赞这些企业家为太空事业带来的高度创新和进取心十足的精神。NASA对马斯克如此有信心,甚至给予SpaceX许可证,允许其使用具有历史意义的肯尼迪航天中心39A发射台(Launchpad 39A),即尼尔·阿姆斯特朗(Neil Armstrong)、巴兹·奥尔德林(Buzz Aldrin)和迈克尔·科林斯(Michael Collins) 1969年登月时的发射台。
