Space Hero to cast reality show candidate into space

First man (and human) in space: Yuri Gagarin

Paris, 13 April 2021. – Looking for another hero: Space Hero, “the World‘s first ever global casting show” for a trip to the International Space Station (ISS), signed an agreement with NASA for a feasibility study of a such a mission, Space Hero said.

The agreement was signed at a significant date in human history, Space Hero said, “as April 12, 2021 marks the 60th anniversary of the first human in space, Yuri Gagarin”.

“Since then, more than 500 professionals have risked their lives to create a path into space that is now reliable for humanity to explore”, the reality show producer said.

The Space Hero mission is targeted for 2023 and will be provided by Axiom Space. It may include “a 24/7 immersive and interactive livestream”, Space Hero says.

Space Hero is planning a $55 million, ten-day trip to the ISS. The competition for this once-in-a lifetime journey will begin at the end of 2021. The call will be open to anyone who is over 18 and has a fluency in English. The flight is targeted for 2023. Space Hero is planning 15 seasons over the next 30 years, eventually flying beyond the ISS to the Moon and Mars.

#SpaceWatchGL Opinion: Creating a Commercial Space-Based Solar Power Industry

The idea of space-based solar power has been around since the 1960s, but recently gained new momentum. While we already use solar power today on Earth, there are a few drawbacks to putting solar panels on our rooftops or fields. The most important is the intermittent nature of Earth-based solar power, as its power generation fluctuates during the day - and goes down to zero at night. In addition, to compensate for this intermittency and the low load factor (appx. 11 % yearly average), large areas of land have to be covered with solar power to produce enough energy, and storage or backup capacities are needed for the nights and winter months.
