U.S. President Dwight D. Eisenhower's speech was transmitted to the world via satellite, and in addition to those who were watching or listening to the live broadcast, others who had just turned on the radio or television immediately added a new channel, which was a satellite from space.

Almost all Americans heard the recording, and they couldn't help but be proud of the president's speech, and their happiness rose a lot. At the same time, Eisenhower also regained the hearts and minds that had been lost some time ago, and his popularity continued to rise.

Through this speech, many people learned that it was a company called SCC that made and launched rockets. The company went from obscurity to world-famous, and not only the American people knew about it, but even other countries were paying attention to it.

After the President of the United States finished speaking, Alex played a record that he had already prepared. These upcoming songs became an instant hit, and many people immediately went to record stores to look for them after listening to them.

Especially Alex's "Yesterday", as soon as the song was broadcast, it caused a strong response.

When many people hear this song for the first time, they are immediately captivated by Alex's singing, and they quickly immerse themselves in the faint melancholy created by the lyrics.

Alex expresses his inner feelings with a slightly sad emotion in the song, singing: "Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away, and now they seem to be right in front of me." Oh, I'd rather believe yesterday! In an instant. I'm not who I used to be! Shadows hung over me, oh, yesterday just like that. Why she didn't say goodbye, I don't know, and she didn't talk about it. I must have said something wrong, how I longed for yesterday ...... now"

The beautiful melody and timeless lyrics depict the shadow lost in time in the depths of everyone's heart. Regardless of cultural background, social status, aesthetic orientation, or even whether they love music, almost everyone will be moved by this song. It truly achieves both elegance and vulgarity.

Alex didn't expect the song to be so popular. He just felt that the artistic conception of this song could express his feelings at that time. This is his remembrance of yesterday, the sorrow of the past, and the sigh of time.

The song was the first to be broadcast on a satellite in space. At the same time, it is also the first song to reach the gold record record for the fastest.

If it is said. There is no song in the world that carries the most honors in numbers. That had to be "Yesterday".

"Yesterday" is the most covered song in history, and there have been more than 3ooo versions of it.

"Yesterday" is still the most popular song in the world, and it has been ordered 6oooooooo times in the United States alone.

After the launch of the satellite. Hughes sent out the public relations people like a divine help, and soon persuaded many politicians and congressmen, who proposed to the government to build the headquarters of the US aerospace research institute with SCC as the main body.

"We have to let people who know how to manage it, otherwise the Soviets will soon be over again."

"SCC's lead is only temporary, and they must receive sufficient resources and policy support!"

"Do we want to abandon the existing mature architecture and rebuild a new NASA center?"

These politicians and lawmakers have expressed their support for SCC to the government and people, and more and more people believe that this is the right way to reduce U.S. government spending while accelerating space technology research.

Eisenhower's heart wavered as he paid tribute to his old friend Jim? Kellian has consulted on the matter. At the time, Kellian was appointed scientific advisor by Eisenhower and was also an expert professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. I know a lot about this knowledge and have a lot of experience. The two of them had known each other for a long time, and Eisenhower trusted Kellen very much.

Before the successful launch of the SCC, Kellen recommended another of his old friends, Glennan, to the president.

"If there's anyone else in the U.S. who can do the job, it's Grennan," Kellian told Eisenhower at the time.

Is Glennan's full name Thomas? Glennan, his experience is very complicated. He was born in 19o5 and is a native of North Dakota, USA. After graduating from Yale University's Sherfield School of Science, he worked in a studio studio, and then worked as assistant to the president of an electrical materials research company, a studio producer, and the CEO of an aircraft company.

After World War II, Grennan went on to do war studies at Columbia University and then to work at the U.S. Navy's Acoustics and Water Laboratory. After the war, he started a job, then worked for a time in the Atomic Energy Commission, and soon went to work at the Institute for Defense Analysis, and also to work for the National Science Foundation and the Council for Financial Assistance to Education.

And that's not all, he is now the president of Case Institute of Technology in Ohio, USA.

Judging from the resume, Grennan is simply running around and doing everything. All in all, he is experienced, good at dealing with people, and likes to build relationships with people.

When he was introduced to U.S. President Dwight D. Eisenhower, he felt that the opportunity had come, so he went out of his way to pitch his ideas to the president. He felt that an institution like the Aerospace Research Institute must be controlled by the US government, and that it would definitely fall under the control of private enterprises.

"This is the weapon of the country! It must be firmly in the hands of the government! He said to the president.

Eisenhower had his own opinions, and he knew that much of the scientific research and technology in the United States was developed through private companies. For example, during World War II, the U.S. government placed orders with those airlines and paid $800 million for research. Governments need them to develop the world's fastest planes, the heaviest planes, the highest flying planes, and so on.

Hughes once received a budget of $7oo for the study of the world's largest seaplane.

At that time, the Pacific War broke out, and the US military needed to use this large seaplane to transport soldiers, weapons, supplies, and so on.

Hughes designed this giant seaplane, the KH1, with a total length of 97.5 meters. 15.2 meters high, 8 Pratt with propellers mounted on both wings? Whitney Model 28oo engine. With a dead weight of 3oo tons, it is the largest aircraft ever built, and it can be said to be a "giant".

By the end of the war, however, the plane had not been built, and had become an excuse for the enemy to attack Hughes.

In short, almost 8o% of the $8o was lost, but it supported many companies and fed many Americans.

Not only airplanes, which were weapons of war at the time, but also the development of the atomic bomb. It was also made under the overall management of the Rockefeller Research Center. It's just that after the atomic bomb and airplane were developed. It has always been under the control of the government.

The U.S. government's orders and R&D funds are a big cake, and each enterprise is the person who shares the cake, and how much it can share depends on personal ability. As for eating the cake, you have to do things for the government. At least on the surface. What is the specifics. Then you can't generalize.

Glennan's plan was for the government to be responsible for sharing the cake. You can't just throw this cake out. There are pros and cons to doing so.

The advantage is that the government can use the power to share the cake and firmly control the details of the aerospace research institute. Let those businesses who want to eat their cake be obedient.

The disadvantage is that in order to get the biggest piece of the cake in the future, many open and secret battles will involve government agencies. Doing so may lead to more and more bureaucratic aerospace research, and at the same time, it will also lead to lower and lower competitiveness.

Crucially, if this precedent is set, it is expected to attract a lot of opposition. Especially the conglomerates that control the lifeblood of the economy will surely think that this is the beginning of the government's own cheese. In the future, if the government does this, then they will definitely feel unfree.

Grennan and Eisenhower hit it off and had a great conversation. Grennan quickly figured out Eisenhower's concerns, saying, "On the contrary, the conglomerates want the government to share the cake, because if the cake is thrown out and robbed, they have no hope at all." ”

"What do you mean......" Eisenhower somewhat understood.

"Now the only company that has the ability to eat this cake is SCC company, other companies, haha you know!"

Having said that, Eisenhower was still a little hesitant, he really wanted to improve the ability of American space research and development, he said: "But if it's Scnetasa, then what? ”

"Then they'll have to eat the cake that's been left over from someone else. Or simply not at all! ”

After more than 1o days of discussion, Eisenhower was finally persuaded by Glennan to appoint Glennan as the first director of NASA (NASA) and let him take the oath of office.

At the same time, Eisenhower also appointed Hugh Brown, director of the National Aviation Advisory Committee. Dreden is the Administrator of NASA. Let the two of them prepare for the opening of NASA.

After receiving the news, Hughes was shocked, and he felt that his and Alex's efforts some time ago had been in vain.

"They abandoned SCC and insisted on starting anew!" Hughes said this after calling Alex to tell him the news.

Alex groaned for a long time and asked, "Is NASA planning to take us in?" What is the price of the other party? Won't the second option also work? ”

"Yes, it won't work! They had someone else in charge of NASA. Hughes yelled on the phone, and then said in a bit of frustration: "It is said that this man named Grennan is very close to the president. He offered a very low price and only intended to give us $800 million to buy SCC's existing rocket satellite technology. Of course, the patent fee will still be given to us, but in this case, we will not be able to control the direction of our company's research, and we must obey the command of NASA. ”

This is simply too deceitful, if you just look at it on the surface, 800 million dollars and it is considered to make them several times over. But in the long run, it's almost the same as taking advantage of it, even if it is to give 8o billion dollars in compensation, it makes them feel unhappy. (To be continued!)
