Cape Point Space Launch Complex in the United States.
Outside the beach.
The American people who gathered after hearing the news fell silent.
"OMG!"
"FXXK!"
"NOOOOOOO!"
"What's going on, Jerry!"
After a second of silence, various frightened cries for help followed.
On the beach, everyone stayed where they were.
People forgot everything, raised their heads, gaped, and kept shouting.
There was only a falling fireball in the sky at this time.
The rolling fireball, followed by the huge rocket fragments, was continuously falling horizontally.
Then with a "boom", the remains of the rocket fell into the sea.
It wasn't until the huge curtain of fuel fire slowly fell from the sky that the people on the beach reacted.
The launch of the SLS manned moon landing rocket failed? !
200 seconds after the rocket was launched, the arrow body shook violently, and then a ball of fire appeared.
The entire rocket exploded, and during the explosion, the rocket flew several kilometers.
Then, the entire rocket turned into a ball of fire in the sky and quickly fell from the sky.
This hell-like scene made the surrounding American people feel as if they were in a dream.
Some American space fans covered their heads, stared wide-eyed, squatted on the spot, in disbelief, and murmured in a low voice:
"No way, no way, no way!"
"How could it fail? How could it fail?"
Some people accepted the fact that the launch failed, kept raising their heads, and asked frantically: "Where are the astronauts? Did the astronauts escape?!"
"Ahhhhh!"
There are still Mangkhut people with shattered dreams on the ground, frantically grabbing land.
The entire beach was filled with an atmosphere of despair at this moment.
In the distance, in the command room, Elalic stared blankly at the screen in front of him.
"Ding ding ding!"
The phone at hand was ringing frantically.
He knew which idiot President Fred it was.
But at this moment he no longer wanted to pick it up.
The SLS moon landing rocket failed.
How many times had he persuaded that idiot?
He is the one who insists on going his own way and wants to compete with the big country on the other side.
That bastard Fred has fallen into the ballot. He is completely crazy!
Looking at the remnants of the fire ball still falling in the sky, looking at the raging fire burning in the sea, and looking at the people on the beach who are covering their heads and roaring and screaming.
Elalariel collapsed in his seat as if deflated.
He could already imagine the roaring public opinion outside.
His future, everything about him.
From now on, it's all over.
Clenching his fists, Elalariel's eyes were filled with anger.
And he was buried by that bastard Fred himself!
"Damn it!"
…
November 12th became an eternal nightmare across the ocean.
When the news reached China, the Internet also fell silent.
If in normal times, the United States failed to launch an unmanned spacecraft, it would be laughed at.
This time is completely different.
This time, three astronauts died.
Although they are not from the same country, the astronauts' brave exploration and unafraid of sacrifice know no boundaries.
Therefore, it is rare that netizens have bad words.
At least the three astronauts were innocent.
"It can be said that the United States and the American Space Agency jointly murdered their astronauts."
"What you said above is right, this was a man-made disaster!"
"With the urgent situation of SLS, I'm not surprised that it failed. It's just a pity for the three astronauts."
"A silent [candle] [candle] for the great Monte, Pate, Bon Jerry and all the astronauts who died on the way to explore space."
"To all human beings who are full of exploration and courage!"
"..."
Chinese netizens did not pay much attention to the launch failure on the other side of the ocean.
Because their own rocket will be launched in one day!
If you don’t go to see your own baby, why don’t you go see other people’s children?
The news "American manned moon landing rocket failed to launch and three astronauts died unfortunately" was posted online within an hour.
The one who tops the list is naturally——
China Storm 9 Yao 5 will be launched at 7:25 am on December 13th!
Moreover, the space agency held a press conference to prepare to announce the three astronauts who will board the ship tomorrow.
At the press conference, Zhang Zhaoming officially announced with an excited tone:
"The astronauts carrying out the manned lunar landing plan this time are——"
"Chen Dong, Nie Zheng, Zhai Gang!"
The three astronauts, wearing space suits and excited smiles on their faces, walked up to the media.
"Kakaka-"
Surrounded by the sound of camera shutters.
In the live broadcast room, netizens from all sides were also very excited.
"Let me tell you, there must be Chen Dong!"
"Zhai Gang is here too, they are all the first batch of astronauts!"
"It's amazing. It only came out of the earth a few years ago, and now it's about to land on the moon!"
"Everyone next door has failed. Do you think we can succeed?"
"The man upstairs is shaking the morale of the army, drag him out and chop him down!!!"
"You have to have confidence. Although our launch time is very intensive, the inspection process has been completed. It's not like the United States who rushes to put it on the shelf!"
"Yes, you have to have confidence!"
"..."
"Dear journalists and friends who are concerned about the moon landing program."
On the rostrum, Zhang Zhaoming began to speak. He looked around, and after the reporters quieted down, his tone was calm, like a ballast stone, giving people inexplicable confidence.
He said firmly:
"Tomorrow morning, our country will launch a manned lunar landing spacecraft. The spacecraft is expected to arrive at the moon in three days. The mission will take a total of 20 days, and the astronauts will stay on the moon for 17 days."
"After the moon landing plan, we will immediately start the construction plan of the moon base."
"Strive to build a base on the lunar surface that can accommodate astronauts for a long time, which can lay a solid foundation for us to study the lunar environment, extraterrestrial survival and other technologies!"
As soon as these words came out, the reporters present were stunned, and then they clicked the shutter in their hands like crazy.
The briefer with a computer beside him started typing frantically with his hands.
Reports spread wildly around the world.
This is more pragmatic.
"Moon base! Today, on the eve of the manned moon landing, Zhang Zhaoming, director of the National Space Administration, said that after the manned moon landing, our country will build a moon base!"
This is taken out of context.
"Breaking news, our country is going to start building a moon base!"
This is over-understanding.
"The Space Director is full of confidence in landing on the moon tomorrow and it will definitely succeed!"
All kinds of reports and overwhelming publicity.
The failure of the U.S. moon landing program was directly pushed to the bottom of the list.
In an instant, the eyes of the whole world were focused on China.
Everyone wants to see whether China can succeed in what the United States has failed.
Of course, there are also some countries that have enmity with the United States. They just hope that China can succeed, and then use this to disgust the United States.
The time comes on the morning of November 13th, and the rocket launch is imminent!
