William Shatner, who starred in the classic sci-fi film "Starship Trek", became the oldest astronaut in history last month at the age of ninety, setting off a wave of global landings in space. Foreign billionaire Bezos invited the well-known Oscar-winning film emperor Tom Hanks to take a rocket into space, and Tom Hanks generously confirmed that there was indeed such a thing in an interview on Tuesday (2nd), but he finally decided to refuse, only because "the price is too expensive".
According to foreign media reports, Tom Hanks recently appeared on the "Jimmy Night Live" talk show to promote the new work "Finch's Journey", and admitted that he had been invited by Amazon founder Bezos to complete the feat of boarding space on his Blue Origin enterprise rocket, but because of the $28 million travel cost, he complained that it was "too expensive" and finally refused Bezos's invitation.
Tom Hanks, who has been in the film for more than 40 years, is reported to have earned $4.5 billion so far, but he said in an interview: "Of course I can afford it, but the price is too expensive, I will not spend so much money for 12 minutes to be too idle." 」 He playfully imitated the rocket lift-off at the scene, shaking the chair he was sitting on, simulating being in a space capsule, laughing that "as long as everyone does this at home, they can also feel the experience of landing in space without spending a dime."
Tom Hanks has won the Oscar twice in the past with "Philadelphia" and "Forrest Gump", and his acting skills have been highly recognized. Legend has it that he had already experienced gravitylessness when filming the film Apollo 13 in 1995, perhaps because of this. In response to the fact that the cost of the trip was complained about by the movie emperor, Bezos has not yet responded to it.
After founding Blue Origin Aerospace in 2000, Bezos has been committed to developing civil aviation rocket technology, and in the future, the company plans to provide satellite broadband services and private space travel in the Asia-Pacific region, and expects to land on the moon again in 2024, and it is estimated that Bezos's net worth has reached $202 billion.
