The core compartment of the lunar spacecraft worth $2 billion has become the payload of this launch, and in order to send this big guy with a dry weight of up to 20 tons to the geosynchronous transfer orbit, it is necessary to give full play to the maximum GTO capacity of the "Starry Sky One" carrier rocket.

In the last experiment, Starry Sky 1 did not carry a payload, so neither the second stage nor the third pole rocket was filled with fuel. But this time it is different, in order to give full play to the maximum GTO capacity of "Star One", the rocket body of the two stages above the first stage rocket must be filled with liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen, so as to finally send the core compartment of the lunar spacecraft into the predetermined orbit.

After being completely filled with fuel and carrying a payload, the final total mass of the "Xingkong-1" is as high as 2,800 tons, which is also the maximum lift-off mass of the "Xingkong-1" heavy-lift launch vehicle design, so this launch is actually a real launch, no matter in which respect, it is not comparable to the last simple recovery experiment.

The launch mission has also attracted a lot of attention from all over the world, whether it is the major space agencies or the heads of government of various countries, they are very concerned about this launch mission. Even outgoing U.S. President Barack Obama gave a speech to encourage the launch. Bush even rushed directly to the launch site to provide on-site support.

The top leaders of China, Russia, France, Britain, Japan, Brazil, India, and other space powers all made relevant speeches to encourage the launch mission.

There is no way, although this launch mission only carried the core compartment of the lunar spacecraft for launch, the significance of the core module of this lunar spacecraft is too significant. "Star-One", this name is the same as the name of the heavy launch vehicle that will be launched today. But it also illustrates the infinite hope that mankind has placed in this core cabin.

The time window for this launch was 4:32 p.m., but since the morning, the viewing places around the Cape Ka launch site have been full of people who have come to watch the ceremony. Bush met.

"Don. First of all, I would like to wish you a successful launch mission! Secondly, I would like to express my personal admiration for you and your team, I really didn't expect that your ambitions are so big, and that you have already started to take the first step in such a short period of time! Don, I really admire you! ”

Jeb. As soon as Bush saw Tang Feng, he did not just shake hands with Tang Feng as before, but gave Tang Feng a big hug very rarely, and then said the above words to Tang Feng very sincerely.

"Thank you. Thank you! Mr. Bush, I would like to express my gratitude for taking time out of your busy schedule to attend the ceremony. At the same time, I sincerely hope that in the final campaign speech to be held in half a month, you will be able to defeat Hillary. Ms. Clinton, elected as the new President of the United States! Tang Feng also said the words of blessing that Mr. Bush Jr. wanted to hear the most.

"Hehe, each other, both of us are facing a major threshold in our lives, and now it's up to us to see if we can get over it. Then let's work together towards a brighter future! ”

"Mr. Bush, I believe and firmly believe that we will all succeed!"

Jeb. Bush's entourage took a picture of this. In the evening news report, the major TV stations in the United States will broadcast this footage. Bush won the votes of the electorate, which brought about a fairly positive impact.

After all, it was the Americans who landed on the moon for the first time, and the first manned Martian spacecraft that is about to be built now is also funded by the Americans. Although he is a Chinese-American, Tang Feng has a U.S. passport, so Tang's move has won the favor of the vast majority of Americans.

After the success of the last rocket recovery experiment, Dr. Schmitz and his team were at the beckon of Tang. began to selectively reveal some of the contents of the Tang project to the public, which immediately attracted the attention of people around the world, and made Americans full of interest in this personally funded manned exploration of Mars.

After all, the Mars manned exploration program is a long-term plan related to the world, and even Americans generally agree with this kind of global cooperation project, and it is precisely because of this that the participation of the Huaxia Space Agency will not cause a backlash from the Americans.

After all, the construction of the International Space Station, the United States has left Huaxia alone, and although the Mars manned exploration program was funded by an American citizen, don't forget that this American citizen is an out-and-out Chinese, if it is really this time to leave Huaxia out, it is estimated that not only will this plan not be able to be carried out for a long time, but will also arouse the disgust of the Americans.

Of course, what the US authorities and NASA are most worried about is that if Tang Feng is really provoked, if Tang Feng transfers this project to Huaxia, they really have no way to stop it, after all, this project was established by Tang Feng, and during this period, NASA and the US authorities did not help at all, but only allowed the rocket to be launched at the launch site in Kajiao during the final launch.

At the beginning, NASA didn't expect Tang Feng's plan to be so huge, but now, with the success of the last experiment, coupled with Tang Feng's conscious disclosure of some of the contents of the plan, NASA finally understands that it has no less scientific research power than the U.S. government in the private sector. And if NASA doesn't seize this last chance in a hurry, I'm afraid people will really leave NASA alone or cooperate with other countries to complete this great manned Mars exploration program.

It is precisely because of this that the second step in Tang's plan, that is, the step of bringing in all countries in the world capable of space flight for cooperation, will be carried out so smoothly. Of course, this kind of cooperation is also something that ordinary American citizens are happy to see, after all, the leaders of this project are American citizens. And Mr. Bush Jr. will come forward to support this plan at such a juncture, and he will certainly win the support of a large part of the neutral voters.

As the saying goes, politics is everywhere, and this sentence is also vividly embodied in the current little Bush. (To be continued.) )
