As night unfolds, street lamps are lit one after another, casting a glittering projection of the city onto the calm sea.

A bright moon slowly climbed up the eastern sky, shining a clear light all over the earth, and also shining on those who were outdoors.

Aware of the silver light cover, people who were watching the open-air concert in the seaside park looked up at the sky, their eyes focused on the jade plate in the air, and many people even took out their mobile phones and pointed them at the target, intending to record this unforgettable moment.

The Moon orbits the Earth in an elliptical orbit, and the distance between the Moon and the Earth changes from time to time, and if it happens to be close to the Earth during the full moon, a larger and brighter "supermoon" will be formed. This astronomical phenomenon will recur every once in a while, and it will happen again tonight, and it is said to be the largest and brightest since 1948, and the next time it will be 2034, and it will take 18 years to miss it.

Of course, the moon is still the same as the original moon, and in the absence of a reference, it is actually difficult for ordinary people to notice that its size has changed, and the extra brightness has to withstand the test of urban haze clouds, which is also difficult to detect. Unless there are special circumstances, the concept of a "supermoon", invented by astrologers but repeatedly hyped up by the global media, will soon become obsolete and difficult to arouse public interest. No matter how beautiful things are, once there are too many, they are easy to depreciate, which is human nature, and this is the case in ancient and modern times.

However, tonight, someone created a special situation, and this concert was held because of it.

For a simple performance, even if a large number of singers and rookies from the two sides of the Taiwan Strait are gathered, and Guozui is invited to be the host, the overall weight is still not enough. However, the audience is not worried about this, because they know that the real protagonist is about to officially appear.

The music on the stage stopped, wearing a small suit and plaid skirt, and the youthful female idol left the stage, Zhu took a deep breath of tears, walked to the stage with a wireless microphone, and stood still in the pre-rehearsed position. Next to him was his long-time partner Dong Tilt, who wore an off-the-shoulder fishtail dress that reflected a little silver light in the light.

Zhu Tearjerker held the microphone in his hand and spoke first: "Ladies and gentlemen, the audience and friends on the scene, on the Internet, and in front of the TV! Here, I want to tell you a good news!"

Dong Tian quickly picked up, "Just now, we got in touch with Ms. Sarah Brightman who is far away on the International Space Station, and everything is normal on her side. ”

Zhu tear-jerking continued: "Now, she is ready, and the song from space will come soon!

In the melodious sound of the violin, a vertical white line appeared on the large screen behind the two of them, then separated into two, and then opened to both sides like a stage curtain, revealing the British female singer in a suspended state behind them.

The latter wears an ancient Greek style moon-white dress, a plain garland on his forehead, and a straight and flowing brown hair on the top of his head, and behind him is the living module of the International Space Station, which is full of various technological flavors.

Like other Caucasian women, 56-year-old Sarah Brightman has a fat body and a disfigured face, and her beauty has long since ceased to exist, but with the blessing of this moonlight goddess suit, the female singer's literary temperament has been raised and strengthened, and the cold and holy makes people subconsciously ignore her appearance.

Soon, a cold Italian hum came out of her mouth: "Scende-la-notte, tranquillità......"

At the same time, Chinese subtitles appear at the bottom of the screen: night falls, everything is silent, darkness breathes softly, only the moon is awake...... , it is the representative work of the goddess Sarah that year, "LaLuna (Moonlight Goddess)".

The singing voice is collected by the pickup system, then encoded into radio waves, shot from the International Space Station to the earth, then received and decoded by the ground, modified and processed by the mixer and music workstation, and then pushed by the power amplifier system to large speakers, and finally turned into a resounding singing voice throughout the audience.

To be honest, the International Space Station is not a good place for singing, the place is cramped, the reverberation is large, weightlessness affects the performance of singing, the lack of professional equipment, and the trouble of long-distance transmission, all of which restrict the performance of singers. The "Moonlight Goddess" has entered old age again, and her singing is really difficult to say perfect, but the audience doesn't care about this, this is an unprecedented and unique space concert!

The supermoon is held once in a few years or more than ten years, but the space concert is the first time in history, and no one will come again in a short period of time.

Sarah was also unwilling to waste this opportunity to go down in history, and she performed very hard, and soon fine beads of sweat appeared on her forehead.

The weightless environment made the sweat no longer slide on its own, and the beads of sweat rolled and collided on her face, looking shiny and cute, but the person concerned couldn't wipe it because he wanted to continue the performance, so he could only pretend to be in love and close his eyes.

After singing the song, Sha stretched her hand to take the handkerchief handed by her, wiped the sweat from her forehead and cheeks, and then opened her eyes and greeted the camera: "Hey, people on Earth, good evening! This is Sarah, I bring greetings from the International Space Station!"

Then she changed to Chinese and said, "Hello friends of Ludao, as well as Dong and Zhu!"

"Hello hello!" Dong leaned sideways to face the big screen and threw out the question that he had prepared a long time ago: "Ms. Brightman, what is your biggest feeling right now?"

After a short pause, Sarah finally received the signal, showed a wry smile, and said in English: "Although I want to say that my dream has come true, I am very excited, but at this moment, my biggest feeling is one word - hot! It reminds me of the sauna." So, I might need a little more time to adjust. ”

The hostess nodded knowingly, "Space singing is really difficult, and I think everyone will understand." ”

Turning to face the audience, she asked, "Is that so?"

The "guide" hidden in the crowd immediately applauded vigorously, leading more audiences to applaud together.

Receiving the applause from the ground, Sarah disconnected and went back, and Zhu raised the microphone with tears, "Everyone has also seen that Ms. Brightman has consumed a lot of physical strength because of her singing and needs time to rest and recover." Don't go away, let's go into the advertisement!"

In the front row of the audience, Atletico Madrid secretly breathed a sigh of relief, the most difficult level had finally passed, and this unprecedented concert was finally not messed up.

It has been 20 months since I heard that Sarah had suspended the space program, and hundreds of millions of dollars have been invested, but fortunately it has not been in vain, and the preliminary results have been received, at least not in vain.

The ratings of TV stations are still being counted, but the number of online live viewers can be easily queried, with a maximum of 47 million people, although it has declined a lot now, it should rise again in the future, and there is no problem at all to finally break the record of the Spring Festival Gala and the Super Bowl. Thinking of the advertising agreement linked to the number of viewers, he couldn't help but smile with satisfaction.

"What do you want, so proud?" said Tang Jiayi's inquiry.

"I didn't think about anything," Atletico leaned his head closer to the latter's ear, "if I go to the space exploration company to sign up now, I don't know if I will be able to catch the last train to the International Space Station." ”

After the United States retired all the space shuttles for safety and cost reasons, mankind can only rely on manned spacecraft such as the Soyuz series and the Shenzhou series to enter outer space. They are specialized scientific devices designed for two or three astronauts and are not capable of carrying passengers.

The same applies to the International Space Station and the Tiangong-2 space station, the space station does not support idlers, and if you want to go to space as a tourist, you must first pass a physical examination and professional astronaut training, and promise to cooperate with the work, not if you have money.

After hosting the first "space tourist" in 2001, American financier Dennis Tito, the ISS has received seven more visitors, and Sarah Brightman is the ninth. According to the plan, the space station, which was built in 1998, was supposed to be decommissioned in 2020, but the replacement's difficult birth had to be delayed until 2024.

Even if someone wants to replicate Sarah's feat and train to become an amateur astronaut in the future, NASA and Roscosmos are likely to refuse to "take orders" due to safety concerns.

And even if they are willing to "take orders", the average person cannot afford the high cost of space travel.

For this space concert, Sarah has been preparing for four years, and her company and Jiajing have paid a total of more than 50 million US dollars in "ticket money", which is not counting the expenses spent on health care, insurance, rescue, live broadcasting, etc., without hundreds of millions of net worth and sufficient time, I really can't afford to play space tourism at this stage.

Atletico Madrid is no problem, he is rich, strong, and has enough learning ability, but unfortunately even if he is willing, Tang Jiayi will not agree.

Sure enough, Tang Jiayi's eyes immediately widened when she heard this, "You're not kidding, are you?

"I know you're not going to agree," Atletico pouted, "so I'm just thinking about it." ”

Stretched out his hand and grabbed his wife's waist, "When Virgin Galactic and Blue Source's manned technology matures, let's go up and have a look together!"

"Virgin Galactic, forget it, the passport is not up to standard, people don't want you!" leaning on her husband's chest, Tang Jiayi retorted with a smile.

Back in 1999, British billionaire and civil aviation tycoon Richard Branson founded VirginGalactic with the aim of developing a specialized, reusable manned vehicle to tap into the promising space tourism market.

Virgin Galactic has partnered with ScaledComposites to build a practical, commercialized manned spacecraft based on the latter's SpaceShipOne. It was a suborbital vehicle carried by a dedicated carrier, the White Knight, with six passengers and two pilots, with plenty of crew space and spacious windows, and was awarded $10 million in the Ansari XPrize in 2004.

But for manned spaceflight, tens of millions of dollars are not worth mentioning at all, and there is no splash at all when thrown into it, the meritorious SpaceShipOne was sent to the museum, but SpaceShipShip-2 crashed due to an accident, and space tourists who booked "air tickets" in advance had to wait for a while. It also made the US imperialists' ban on "the engine is secret, and passengers from 22 countries are prohibited from boarding the ship" a dead letter.

Wealthy foreign tycoons seem to like to "go to the sky", and Amazon boss Jeff Bezos also set up his own Blue Origin company in 2000, specializing in various space rockets and vertical take-off and landing devices, and also came up with their suborbital vehicle last year.

As for Tesla boss Elon Musk's SpaceX, its reputation among the people is even louder, but they are still busy improving the success rate of the use of the recyclable cargo rocket "Falcon-9", and they have no intention of getting involved in manned spaceflight for the time being.

The two were busy talking, and the performance on stage was going on.

A mainland singer had just finished performing, and Zhu Tear and Dong Tian took the stage side by side again, and then received spontaneous applause from the audience.

Obviously, everyone has discovered the relationship between the number of people in the curtain and the content of the program.

However, when Zhu opened his mouth to speak, the performer who came out was the famous champion mentor Liu Chang.

Without waiting for anyone to secretly annoy himself for taking it for granted, he reported the content of the program again: "Me and You"!

Immediately afterwards, Sarah Brightman appeared on the big screen.

At the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games eight years ago, Sarah and Liu Chang performed the Olympic theme song together, which left a deep impression on audiences at home and abroad. In addition to the intuitive impression that the man is thin and the woman is fat, the endless virtual galaxy behind the two also impresses everyone.

This time, with Teacher Liu helping to share the work, the physical exertion of the female singer was significantly smaller, and she still had the strength to sing after singing the song, and then sang her new song "Angel (Angle)".

At the end of the song, I entered the interview time with Mr. Dong again, and this time Sarah opened the conversation box and said a lot in one breath.

Three years ago, Sarah released a new album "Dreamchaser" through her company, featuring a space sci-fi style. At the same time, she also announced that she would spend a huge amount of money to sign up for a space tour and threatened to go to the International Space Station to hold a space concert, which quickly caused a sensation around the world.

As a result, the new album was released, the concert tour started, but she didn't go to space.

Although the official statement is that he missed class due to family affairs, which led to the failure to complete astronaut training in time and had to cancel the trip at the last minute, it still attracted many doubts about "space marketing".

"These voices made me very distressed, but fortunately, the fans still believed in me and supported me, so that I did not give up on my dream. Of course, thanks to Mr. Atletico Marletico, without his support and encouragement, I wouldn't be here and see space with my own eyes. Thank you very much!"
