Graphics designer Arun Raj has created a SpaceX TravelCard that can be used to book a travel plan and double up as a ticket for a visit to the moon, Mars, Saturn, and even Jupiter! Posted to the r/SpaceXLounge on Reddit, the 30-second video showcases a digital, touchscreen device that fits in the palm of your hand. Launch the booking process with fingerprint identification and specify your current location and destination. Users can book flights to different planets and the Moon, select the date and number of travellers, and receive a boarding pass. On the video, the cost of heading to Mars from Earth costs about $500,000 per person! With the SpaceX Mars programme aiming to land the first humans on Mars by 2024, this card concept may be a reality soon.
There was once a time where air travel seemed like a farfetched dream. While we’re a long way (and a few, massive paychecks) from booking a flight to the moon as easily as we can head to Florida, it’s fun to dream, and Reddit user armedialabs knows this.
Armedialabs shared an animated video of what they imagine space travel will look like in the future. Posting to r/SpaceXLounge on Reddit, the SpaceX Travel card shows what booking a SpaceX Starship ticket may look like in the future. The travel card is imagined to be as big as a credit card and easy to use with one hand.
With the touch of the screen, users authenticate their identity with a thumbprint which opens to the booking screen. From there, users can choose which planet they want to visit or which moon. Then it’s as simple as choosing a date and selecting how many people will be traveling. From there, you complete the confirmation of booking, and the boarding pass pops on the card, and it’s all ready for travel time.
