Chapter 781: Fight Hard
"NASA has started a Mars landing program, which is expected to land on Mars as soon as the end of this year. ”
"Restart the Mars mission, NASA is expected to land at the end of the year, and restart the era of the United States!"
"Challenge the Xia Kingdom, NASA will attack Mars!"
The Xiao Ming craze caused by Time Magazine has just stopped for a few days, and NASA has created an even bigger news - landing on Mars this year.
The New York Times immediately conducted an exclusive interview with Jim, the head of NASA, and learned the truth of the news.
Jim also revealed that there will be two astronauts landing on Mars this time, and the United States will seek to build a long-term scientific research camp on Mars.
"At present, our rocket technology is the world's leading, and this time we will carry a larger landing module and enough supplies for our astronauts to use for more than a month with savings. ”
Indeed, the high-thrust rocket technology of the United States is the leading in the world, ahead of the rocket technology of the Xia Kingdom. Xia Guo can only send a small and lightweight lunar ecological capsule and small experimental equipment to the moon, while the United States can send heavy equipment and a large amount of food to Mars.
Being able to personally lead the moon landing program of the United States, Jim is full of ambition.
"It won't be long before our well-trained astronauts will be able to meet with you, and the United States has always been a world leader in space exploration, which has been the case in the past, is like this, and will be the same in the future. ”
Reporter: "In this way, Xia Guo's moon landing is nothing at all, right?" ”
Jim: "Indeed, we congratulate Xia Guoren on being able to go to the moon, but this is something that the United States did decades ago, Xia Guo's aerospace technology and we still have a big gap, this gap can not be made up in one or two years, I can say with great confidence on behalf of NASA, we will always be ahead." ”
On the third day after the interview, Jim and the two astronauts preparing to land on Mars met with a global audience under the lens of the media.
The two are Thomas Bradward, 28, and Federico Chiesa, 35.
Bradward is a Marines of the United States, who has carried out missions in various hot spots around the world, and has strong physical fitness and super high psychological quality.
Chiesa, a native of Italian descent and an Air Force pilot with a record of 4,000 safe flights, transitioned into an astronaut during his service in preparation for the Mars landing.
The two have been training at the Mars Program Center in Area 51 for three years in preparation for this day.
The two astronauts made an impassioned declaration in front of the media.
Chiesa said to the camera: "More than 50 years ago, our ancestors landed on the moon and created human history, and we will definitely follow in the footsteps of our ancestors, land on Mars, and create a new history for mankind." This is my dream!
The great dream of the United States!
After the astronauts appeared this time, the mood of the people in the United States suddenly became high! They went crazy because of the Mars program!
They seem to have returned to the sixties and seventies when science and technology took off to become the world's first, this feeling is really good, and the dream of the United States that has been forgotten by everyone seems to be back!
"We are no worse than Xia Guo at all!"
"What is Xia Guo's moon landing! We have already landed on the moon! What is Xia Guo's superstring theorem? It is just an academic theorem that we have already guessed! No matter how awesome they are, will they be able to land on Mars?"
"No, the Xia people can't land on Mars, because their rocket carrying capacity is limited, a few years ago, the Xia people borrowed the Russian rocket to launch the Mars satellite, but unfortunately failed. ”
"We should get ourselves back!"
Some people in the United States believe that when the competition between the United States and the USSR reached the white, it was because of the space race that the USSR was killed, so now that it has entered the stage of competition with the Xia country, it can also be killed by the space race award.
On the same day, NASA decided to launch the Adam Mars manned exploration lander in two months.
Adam means primordial human in Western mythology, with the meaning of tinder. The Mars rover was named Adam in the hope that human beings would be able to colonize Mars in the future and start a new future.
Let the country of rice be strong again!
The ambition of the people of Mi Guo made the hearts of Xia Guo netizens a little sour.
"Why didn't you land on Mars without going to the moon?"
"The people of the United States are so good, and they are ready to land on Mars this year?"
"When will the Xia people have their own Mars plan? We don't seem to have Mars probes yet. ”
"The Earth is 370,000 kilometers to the Moon and 55 million kilometers to Mars, well, it's really not an order of magnitude. We have to admit that the technology of the people of the United States is indeed leading!"
"I'm quite anxious, and even a little jealous! Does Pangu Technology have a plan to land on Mars, and can the superstring theorem be applied to Mars exploration? ”
"Don't think about it upstairs, Xia Guo's Mars plan has just been established and has not yet been implemented. Even if it is implemented, it will have to launch a satellite first, then a lander, then a lander that can return, and finally a manned landing, a hundred years later. ”
……
"It's kind of interesting!" Xiao Ming got the news of the resumption of the Mars program in the controlled nuclear fusion laboratory in the back mountain of the Pangu Science and Technology Park.
"They shouldn't be restarting the Mars program, but the Mars program hasn't disappeared, it's just been suspended for a variety of reasons. Xu Limin is still familiar with the Mars program of the United States. Because Xu Limin's physics tutor has participated in some physics experiments of the Mars program in the United States, he knows some of these stories.
The comparison between the aerospace technology of Xia and the United States is still quite pertinent, and the rocket technology of Xia is indeed backward, although the people of Xia sound uncomfortable.
Why did Xia Guo only land on the moon after so many years, and why did he never have his own Mars plan?
In addition to the late start of the Sky Program, which has just mastered the data of the Moon, and the amount of data collected on Mars is 0, the most important thing is that there is no rocket with high thrust.
Launching a probe into a rocket is easier said than done.
Even now, Xia Guo did not dare to start the Mars exploration plan rashly, because there was no high-thrust rocket and no long-distance deep space exploration experience, even if he did it now, it would be a failure and a waste of money.
Xia Guo and Mi Guo are two different personalities.
Xia people like to do things safely, such as landing on the moon, they must complete the procedures such as orbiting, falling, and returning, and only after the successful simulation of countless manned lunar landings in the ground laboratory will the astronauts really be allowed to go to the moon in the sky.
Mi Guo is not, as long as the theoretical experiment has been completed, as long as there is money, he will boldly do it.
The crashes of the spacecraft Challenge and Columbia are the reasons for this, and people can die, not to mention the countless probes and satellites that have failed to launch.
