　　该人体模型所穿的太空服上安装了大量的传感器。今年晚些时候，第一批人类旅客将登上太空舱，在那之前，这些传感器将有助于提供重要数据。

　　It is not the first mannequin SpaceX founder Elon Musk has sent into space, having already launched the Starman dummy.

　　这并非Space X公司创始人埃隆·马斯克送往太空的第一个人体模型，已经有一个人体模型被送往太空了。

　　Taking questions on social media, he wrote: "I'm confident moving to Mars (return ticket is free) will one day cost less than $500k & maybe even below $100k. Low enough that most people in advanced economies could sell their home on Earth and move to Mars if they want."

　　他在社交媒体上接受了人们的提问，并写道：“我确信，将来搬去火星(返程票是免费的)的票价会低于50万美元，甚至可能会低于10万美元。这个票价足够低了，发达经济体的多数人都可以卖掉他们在地球上的房子，搬去火星，如果他们愿意的话。”
