About 600 people have booked flights, costing US$200,000 to US$250,000.Elon Musk's SpaceX is planning orbital flights that would cost millions of dollars and send people much further into space.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false,"reportStatus":false,"tweetType":1,"comments":[{"id":4387694,"gmtCreate":1621488019329,"gmtModify":1680789862480,"authorId":3580606888729587,"author":{"id":3580606888729587,"idStr":"3580606888729587","authorId":3580606888729587,"name":"wendytan","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/17f86c9246add6464e154564e9a3f5b0","vip":1,"crmLevel":5,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"individualDisplayBadges":[]},"repliedAuthorId":0,"objectId":197725977,"type":1,"supId":0,"prevId":0,"content":"<u>li</u>","text":"<u>li</u>","html":"<u>li</u>"}],"langContent":"CN"}],"hasMoreComments":true,"newsSizeData":{"likeSize":18,"commentSize":4,"repostSize":0,"favoriteSize":0,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false}}
