October, across the ocean.
A major event occurred that attracted the attention of people across the United States.
Fred.
Their president.
Delivered a televised speech.
He solemnly announced that from now on, the United States will accelerate the progress of its return to the moon!
“We do it precisely because it’s difficult!”
Fred had a serious expression on his face, facing the camera with firm eyes, waving his hands excitedly, and loudly said:
"Sixty years ago we landed on the moon faster than the red giant."
“We are the first to take a half-step toward the stars on behalf of humanity.”
"But unfortunately, for various reasons, we have stalled since then."
"We have no intention of exploring those reasons now. When I was a child, I used to look up at the sky, look at the moon in the sky, and murmur under my breath:"
"We will definitely go back again, and we Americans will definitely go back again!"
"Everyone, we will return to the moon, make America great again, and let the light of our democracy shine on the entire earth!"
Fred was very good at speaking.
After listening to his speech, the people were excited.
The United States is going back to the moon!
We are still the number one country in the world!
As for the country on the other side, so what if it succeeds.
They were the first country to land on the moon, sixty years ago.
Sixty years ago.
The other party must still be picking fruits from the tree!
After Fred's speech was broadcast, his approval rating increased by another ten percentage points!
"Hahaha, Ellaril, it has gone up. Not only has the support rate gone up, but the aerospace stocks have also gone up."
Fred really thought he was a genius.
This operation not only reversed his reputation, but also revived the stock.
"...Your Excellency, I have to remind you."
Ellarir responded with a dark face and said worriedly: "The SLS rocket No. 2 is not ready yet. Our progress is already slower than that of China. If we modify the safety procedures..."
"Our launch would be dangerous!"
Before he finished speaking, Elalariel’s meaning was already obvious.
If we speed up the progress rashly and blow up a ship, it will be so great now, but the rebound will be doubly miserable later!
"No, no, no, I'm not worried at all."
"I know the American aerospace technology best. With our strength, there will be absolutely no problem."
The gestures were like playing an accordion, and Fred's face was full of confidence.
"Alariel, all you have to do is get the rocket up on time."
"Remember, we must send astronauts to the moon before the country on the other side!"
Fred pointed at Elariel in a tone that left no room for doubt.
Do you understand?
Do you understand Wang?
How do you know this? You know nothing!
"Your Excellency, the lives of astronauts are related to this, this is not..."
Elalariel was prepared to argue.
"Shut up and do as I say, Elariel!"
Fred immediately became angry and roared loudly, as if his tail had been stepped on.
"Your Excellency...I understand."
Elalariel was angry.
But seeing the president's firm support, he couldn't twist his thigh with his arm and had no choice but to obey.
After talking to Mr. President, Elariel walked out of the office.
As soon as he left the office, he looked at the sky outside the window, let out a long sigh, and said worriedly: "Just skip the animal orbiting the moon test, Master, isn't this just gambling?"
Speaking of gambling.
He always recalled the red giant in his mind.
In aerospace, they seem to be following each other's old path.
In order to win against the opponent, he began to give up everything and gamble with the life of the astronaut...
"The probability of something going wrong is too high. Oh, may God love America and wish us good luck."
…
At the same time, the news that the United States will launch a manned lunar landing spacecraft and return to the moon at the end of November has made headlines in media around the world.
The crowds in Europe and America were cheering, as if their lighthouse had returned.
But knowledgeable people were shocked in their hearts, and then suddenly observed a few seconds of silence for the astronaut.
In the current state of the SLS spacecraft, is it for people to ride on?
Is the United States getting impatient?
Damn it, isn’t this a gamble on life?
In aerospace engineering, gambling like this is taboo.
Even if China uses a new rocket that is mature and has complete experimental data, it has honestly gone through the safety verification process.
Your U.S. country hasn’t even done the serial moon experiment yet.
Just hit him hard.
Is this very expensive for astronauts?
This directly made Mr. Zhu hesitate.
In the conference room, Director Zhang Zhaoming turned on the projection with some helplessness and explained:
"Mr. Zhu, the launch date announced by the United States is November 12th, and the launch date we originally planned to announce was November 13th."
During the November launch window, they just happened to appear together on the 12th and 13th.
Putting these together, wouldn't it be embarrassing?
And what’s even more embarrassing is that they haven’t announced the time yet.
Hey, the United States actually tricked us into launching a sneak attack and announced the time first.
"On the 13th, I just left it for one day..."
Mr. Zhu frowned.
It's really troublesome how they got together.
"Should we wait for the next window, which will be December 1st?"
Zhang Zhaoming also felt that it would be okay to go to school later. If someone is in such a hurry, just let him go.
Anyway, the credit for the first moon landing already belongs to someone else.
No matter what, they can still compete for the title of "second".
"What are you waiting for? It will be completed on November 13th this year. Concentrate on the next research!"
Mr. Zhu snorted coldly.
Give in, give in, give in to anything, the original date of the 13th was changed just because of the other party.
Isn’t this cowardice?
Since it was originally scheduled for the 13th, it will be launched on the 13th.
"Then...I'm going to send out a press release!"
Zhang Zhaoming nodded excitedly after hearing this.
He actually didn't want to change it. The reason why he asked this was because the bureau felt it was unnecessary.
But with Mr. Zhu’s endorsement, the matter was settled!
The launch time will not be changed.
If we have a tough fight with the United States, it’s No. 13!
At the same time, China also officially announced the flight time of the manned moon landing spacecraft.
November 13th!
As soon as this incident came out, combined with the previous news released by the United States, everyone was really shocked.
On the Internet, in the comment area, netizens were even more enthusiastic.
"Holy crap, we're going to have a tough fight with the United States, and we're only one day away!"
"Nah, it's so spectacular. The rockets of two manned moon landing spacecrafts were launched one after another."
"Why does the smell feel familiar? I seem to have seen this formation somewhere..."
"Cold War, right? Space hegemony, right? Damn it, when you put it like that, it really sounds like it."
"That's the question upstairs. It's just that the offensive and defensive momentum is different this time. Just like the SLS rocket, it's hard for me not to doubt that he will give us a cannon like NI."
"Let us send blessings to each other's astronauts, Amen!"
"Amen!"
"Amen!"
"Those people upstairs, please don't curse others. I think the probability of success in the United States is quite high. Why are you all so bearish? Isn't it because you are sour? What's wrong with you!"
"...If you want to know about the mileage of the lunar landing experiment, the people above will not stand up to protect you."
"Looking at the plan, it is clear that this year there will be experiments around the moon and animal experiments around the moon. All of them have been cancelled. They will be used directly on real people. It is difficult to evaluate. I can only say that it is easy to poop in your pants when you have to take a poop."
"I smell failure."
