Isifinyezo sokuqonda

Ngenkathi usozigidi u-Jeff Bezos kanye nomlingisi u-William Shatner bethatha uhambo lwe-Low-Earth orbit (LEO) (2021), babike ukuthi bahlangabezane Nomphumela Wokubuka Konke osomkhathi abavame ukuhlobana nawo. Kusenesikhathi ngaphambi kokuthi izinkampani zikwazi ukwenza kabusha ngempumelelo lo mqondo wokukhanyiselwa ngedijithali noma ziwusebenzise ukuze zenze izinhlobo ezintsha zokuvakasha emkhathini.

Ingqikithi yokukala umthelela

Umphumela Wokubuka konke wushintsho ekuqwashiseni osomkhathi ababika ngalo ngemva kohambo lwasemkhathini. Lo mbono ngezwe waba nethonya elikhulu umlobi uFrank White, owasungula leli gama, ethi: “Uba nolwazi lwembulunga yonke ngokushesha, ukuthambekela kwabantu, ukunganeliseki okukhulu ngesimo sezwe, kanye nokuphoqeleka ukuba wenze okuthile ngakho.”

Kusukela maphakathi nawo-1980s, u-White ubelokhu ephenya imizwa yosomkhathi ngenkathi esemkhathini futhi ebuka uMhlaba, noma ngabe uvela ku-LEO noma ohambweni lwenyanga. Ithimba lakhe lithole ukuthi osomkhathi bavamise ukuqaphela ukuthi yonke into esemhlabeni ixhumene futhi isebenzela emgomweni ofanayo esikhundleni sokuhlukaniswa ngobuhlanga nendawo. U-White ukholelwa ukuthi ukuthola Umphumela Wokubukezwa kufanele kube ilungelo lomuntu ngoba lembula iqiniso elibalulekile mayelana nokuthi singobani nokuthi singena kuphi endaweni yonke. 

Lokhu kuqonda kungasiza umphakathi ukuthi uthuthuke ngezindlela ezinhle. Ngokwesibonelo, ingasiza abantu babone ubuwula bokucekela phansi indawo abahlala kuyo kanye nobuze bezimpi. Lapho osomkhathi besuka emkhathini woMhlaba, “abayi emkhathini.” Sesivele sisemkhathini. Kunalokho, bamane bashiye iplanethi bayohlola futhi bayibuke ngombono omusha. 

Ezigidini zezigidi zabantu emhlabeni, bangaphansi kuka-600 abaye bathola lokhu kwaziswa. Ukwengeza, labo abake babhekana nakho bazizwa bephoqelekile ukuhlanganyela ulwazi lwabo olusha benethemba lokuthi singenza izinguquko ezinhle emhlabeni.

Umthelela ophazamisayo

U-White uphakamisa ukuthi okuwukuphela kwendlela yokuqonda ngokuphelele futhi uzwe Umphumela Wokubuka Konke iwukuba nolwazi olufanayo nolwasomkhathi. Lo mzamo uzokwenzeka kusetshenziswa izindiza zasemkhathini zezentengiso ezivela e-Virgin Galactic, Blue Origin, SpaceX, nezinye maduze nje. 

Futhi nakuba ingafani, i-virtual reality (i-VR) nayo inamandla okulingisa indiza iye emkhathini, okungase kuvumele abantu ngabanye ukuthi bazwe Umthelela Wokubuka Konke. E-Tacoma, eWashington, kunikezwa ulwazi lwe-VR olubizwa ngokuthi I-Infinite, oluvumela abantu ukuthi bahlole indawo yangaphandle ngama-USD $50. Besebenzisa ihedisethi, abasebenzisi bangazulazula eSiteshini Somkhathi Samazwe Ngamazwe futhi babuke Umhlaba besuka efasiteleni. Ngaleso sikhathi, iNyuvesi yasePennsylvania yenze ucwaningo lwe-VR oluthola ukuthi abantu abalingisa ukuzidubula emzileni ophansi babike ukuthi bazizwa besaba, nakuba ngokwezinga elincane kunalabo abake baya emkhathini. Noma kunjalo, isipiliyoni sinamandla okukhushulwa futhi sivumele abantu bansuku zonke ukuthi babe nalowo mqondo wokumangala nomthwalo wemfanelo ngomhlaba.

Ocwaningweni lwango-2020 olwenziwa e-Hungary-based Central European University, bathola ukuthi osomkhathi bavame ukuzibandakanya nezinhlelo zemvelo uma sebebuyele eMhlabeni. Izinqubomgomo eziningi ezisekelwayo ngendlela yesenzo sikahulumeni kanye nezivumelwano zesimo sezulu samazwe ngamazwe. Lokhu kusebenzisana kuqinisekisa okutholwe ngaphambilini kokuthi umphumela wokubuka konke uphumela esidingweni esibonwayo sokuphathwa kokuhlanganyela komhlaba wonke kweplanethi.

Imithelela yokukala Umphumela Wokubuka Konke 

Imithelela ebanzi yokukala Umphumela Wokubuka konke ingase ihlanganise: 

• Izinkampani ze-VR ezidala ukulingisa kwemishini yasemkhathini ngokubambisana nama-ejensi asemkhathini. Lezi zinhlelo zingasetshenziswa kokubili ekuqeqesheni nasekufundiseni.
• Amaphrojekthi emvelo asebenzisa ukulingiswa kwe-VR/okungokoqobo okungathandwa kwabathelisi esikubona (AR) ukuze kusungulwe ukuzizwisa okugxilile kwezimbangela zabo.
• Amabhrendi asebenzisana nezinhlelo zemvelo ukuze adale izikhangiso ezithuthukisiwe ezilingisa Umphumela Wokubuka Konke, esungula izibopho eziqinile zemizwa nezithameli zabo.
• Ukutshalwa kwezimali okukhulisiwe kubuchwepheshe obungokoqobo obunwetshiwe (i-VR/AR) ukuze kudalwe ukuzizwisa okuphakeme kakhulu kwesikhala, okuhlanganisa nokungabi nesisindo.
• Ukwandisa ukwesekwa komphakathi, iminikelo yesihle, kanye nokuvolontiya ngezizathu zemvelo zazo zonke izinhlobo.

Imibuzo okufanele icatshangelwe

• Uma uke wazama ukulingisa emkhathini, bekunjani umuzwa wakho?
• Ucabanga ukuthi kanjani enye indlela ukukala Umphumela Wokubuka konke kungashintsha imibono yabantu ngomhlaba?
