Ibhizinisi lomuntu siqu lokundiza emkhathini - elaziwa nangokuthi i-space tourism - lizobhekana nezithiyo ezinkulu ezivela ebhizinisini lomshwalense eminyakeni yalo yokuqala, ngokusho kochwepheshe bezimboni ezimbalwa.
Izindleko zenqubomgomo zizoba phezulu kakhulu kuze kube yilapho izinkampani zindiza ngaphandle kwesigameko okungenani kathathu. Futhi uchungechunge lokwehluleka kwangaphambi kwesikhathi lungase lubangele ukwehluleka kwebhizinisi, omunye wochwepheshe abathathu bomshwalense osethimbeni mayelana nalesi sihloko wathi ngesikhathi kunengxoxo yethimba engqungqutheleni yaminyaka yonke ye-Federal Aviation Administration's Commercial Space Transportation.
“Ekuqaleni amanani azobe ephezulu. Bazoba phezulu kakhulu,” kusho uRaymond Duffy, iphini likamongameli omkhulu eWillis Inspace yaseNew York. "Uma usubonise umphumela omuhle amanani azokwehla kakhulu." UDuffy waphawula ukuthi ukwehluleka kusenesikhathi, kungaba yinkampani eyodwa noma ezimbalwa, kungenza kucishe kube nzima ngemboni entsha ukuthola umshwalense. Unxuse izinkampani zomkhathi ukuthi zehlise ubungozi embonini yonkana.
U-Ralph Harp we-Falcon Insurance, e-Houston, uthe izinkampani zomuntu siqu zendizamkhathi zidinga ukwenza isiqiniseko sokuthi zethula “isithombe esinemininingwane eminingi salokho ozokwenza” njengoba imboni ilungiselela ukuthumela amasethi ayo okuqala amakhasimende ku-orbit. Abadayisi bomshwalense banedatha encane kakhulu mayelana nezinga noma uhlobo lobungozi imboni entsha engase ibhekane nabo njengoba kube nemicimbi embalwa kakhulu ngaphandle kwezivakashi zasemkhathini eziye zandizela e-International Space Station. “Uma ungakuchaza kangcono, uzokwenza kangcono” lapho uthenga umshwalense, kusho uHarp.
UGeorge Whitesides, umeluleki omkhulu we-Virgin Galactic, utshele i-Space News ngemuva kokuthi iphaneli iqedile ukuthi inkampani yakhe "ibe nezingxoxo ezinhle nabadayisi bomshwalense." Batshele i-Virgin ukuthi imodeli yebhizinisi lomshwalense ibonakala isimeme.
UBrett Alexander, umongameli wePersonal Spaceflight Federation futhi oyilungu lephaneli yomshwalense, uthe "izinga eliqhubekayo" lomshwalense lizokwakhiwa kumamodeli ebhizinisi ezinkampani zezindiza zasemkhathini.
U-Duffy wengeze ngokuthi, nakuba izinsuku zokuqala zizoba yinselele, imboni yomshwalense kanye nezinkampani zomuntu siqu zendizamkhathi zizothola izindlela zokunciphisa ubungozi futhi zilawule izindleko. UPam Meredith wenkampani yakwaZuckert Scoutt & Rasenberger yaseWashington uthe izinkampani ezintsha kumele ziphikelele emigomeni enemininingwane eminingi njengoba noma yiziphi izigaba zomthetho - lezo ezingase zinikeze ukuvikelwa kwesikweletu - "kumele zibhalwe ngokucophelela nangokucophelela."
Uthe ukukhululwa okusemthethweni kombuso kanye nohulumeni, okufana nalokhu okukumthetho we-Federal Commercial Space Launch Act, ngeke ngempela kuvikele izinkampani ezikweletini njengoba izinkampani zomshwalense zingathola "izindlela zokuphuma emithethweni" ngokugxila lapho ingozi yenzeke khona, lapho ingozi idalwe khona, lapho abathintekayo behlanganisiwe noma lapho izinkontileka zisayinwe khona. "Ngakho-ke ngaphandle kokuthi uvikeleke ngemithetho esayinwe kuzo zonke izifundazwe ezingama-50 awunakho ukuvikeleka okuningi," kusho uMeredith.
UDuffy uthe kuzothatha le mboni yethulwe ka-10 kuya ku-15 ngaphambi kokuba izinkampani zomshwalense zikhululeke ngezinga lobungozi ezibhekene nazo. Uthe amanani axhaswe nguhulumeni azosiza izinkampani zomshwalense kanye nebhizinisi lendiza yomuntu siqu.
