Chapter 152: It's All GO!

They all understood Kuna's thinking.

Yes, technology has advanced, and many things are no longer the same.

Just like nearly a hundred years ago, when the sky was still the home of airships, the hard airship was the nightmare of the sky at that time, and the airplane was just a kind of short leg that was not easy to use.

So a lot of flight orders at that time were for airships, what to inflate, deflate, leak, watch out for sparks, etc.

By the time of airplanes, these flight orders were completely useless.

There was even the development of firearms, and the first breech gun also needed a fire rope, first loaded with gunpowder and then bullets, and at the end it had to be stabbed.

After the technology is developed, how can you still use it so troublesomely, just pull the trigger hard.

"Dada-da-"

Not only can soldiers use it, but it can also be installed on airplanes, and it is even more powerful.

As for loading or something, that's all the business of the ground crewman.

This is all the role of scientific and technological development.

Kuna's meaning is like: there are computers now, and even supercomputing, and if you want to calculate anything, just press a few numbers and add, subtraction, multiplication and division, and the results will come out immediately.

If you have to use a pencil to calculate on scratch paper, in addition to satisfying your own feelings, it can only be a waste of time!

In fact, it is the same for building rockets, and now building rockets is completely different from when they first made rockets, and the basic process has been reduced a lot.

It's just that because the rocket is getting bigger and bigger, it used to be as long as it could fly to the earth's orbit, but now they want it to fly directly to Mars, and other processes naturally increase.

The development of science and technology can definitely reduce the process, but many people dare not dare to reduce the process by taking great strides to reduce the process like Kuna, and the decoration will smash the four walls first.

Especially those who are professional rocket specialists.

Even if in their calculations, a rocket is 100% fine, they still have to test fly one or two, and then make other plans.

Originally, Ma Yilong's commercial manned Dragon spacecraft used a sci-fi rocket thrust reverser to land, but it was changed to a parachute.

Not for anything else, just for safety! Safe! Still safe!

Because there were really too many rocket launch accidents in the early days, the rules of each item were tried with life.

So immediately, a rocket expert retorted: "Mr. Kuna, please note that even if the Navigator company still achieves 100% success after reducing the test items, it is only the success of the cargo device, and the safety standards of rocket cargo and manned people are completely different." ”

"Especially when the new rocket makes its first flight, although we do 100% inspection, sometimes there are unexpected situations."

"I still know this," Kuna looked like he was sure of winning, not even afraid of the rocket expert's question, because he knew he was winning this game.

Especially under the premise that a rocket must be launched on May 20 to carry out a manned mission around the moon!

"The SLS rocket has been prepared, the representative of Po Yin said that there is no problem at all, and there is an escape tower, I have seen the escape tower test video a long time ago, and the firepower is very fierce!"

"At first glance, it's a very useful escape tower!"

Kuna stared at the expert, his eyes aggressive, "Don't say the escape tower won't work. ”

The rocket expert was quickly defeated, because what he said made sense.

It is true that the SLS rocket made its first flight, but it went through countless inspections before the first flight, and it was for success.

Well, even if they were lucky enough to get to the bottom of the pot and the rocket exploded in mid-air, the escape tower could still take the astronauts to safety.

So the rocket with and without people is the same, it costs money when it explodes, but the astronauts are fine.

Even, if you successfully bring people into orbit and fly to the moon orbit with appreciation, it really saves money for an unloaded test rocket.

can save money to do big things, understand the king absolutely likes.

The scientist was defeated, and the other hurriedly said: "The Orion spacecraft has not been verified in practice, and there may be no guarantee for the safety of astronauts." ”

"Didn't I remember a test a few years ago? Why hasn't it been actually verified? Kuna crossed his arms and said, "Although I am not an aerospace major, I am not a good person." ”

"That time it was just an orbit test, this time we have to go around the moon, of course, we have to go around the moon first, the gap between the lunar orbit and the earth's orbit is very large, we need specific data ......"

Before the scientist could finish speaking, Kuna interrupted him and said, "Okay, tell me, did you design the Orion spacecraft with the Apollo spacecraft in mind?" ”

"Naturally, it was a reference, after all, the Apollo spacecraft flew through the orbit of the moon, and it was important for us to design a new spacecraft."

Scientist scientific logic has fallen into the brainteaser trap of politicians.

"That's good, isn't this data available, plus Orion can indeed fly in space without air leakage, then there is no problem, it can completely carry out this manned mission around the moon."

"But ......"

"Nothing, is the Orion spacecraft newer than the Apollo spacecraft? Could it be that your Orion spacecraft is worse than the Apollo spacecraft? ”

"No, the Orion spacecraft is more advanced!"

"Of course!" Kuna smiled and picked up a table with some data for Orion.

"Orion is a multi-purpose spacecraft that can fly even as far as Mars, so the astronauts in the spacecraft will be exposed to stronger cosmic radiation, so we have installed a state-of-the-art radiation shielding system to make it very safe," he read aloud. ”

"The new central computer is the brain of the spacecraft and the most advanced of its kind, processing up to 480 million instructions per second, which is 25 times that of the International Space Station, 400 times that of the Space Shuttle, and 4,000 times that of the Apollo spacecraft!"

"The central computer is also resistant to extreme heat and cold, as well as severe radiation and even vibrations, and its reboot time is only 15 seconds. The 10-fold improvement in safety performance compared to the space shuttle is another feature of Orion and greatly enhances the astronauts' chances of survival. ”

"Listen, what an advanced ship!"

"And the interior space of the Orion spacecraft is 2.5 times larger than that of the Apollo spacecraft, and it can accommodate up to six astronauts, and we don't need six astronauts, just three."

"But in order to reflect our diversity, men have to be black and one minority, and women have to be blonde and blue-eyed."

"I look at the pictures of the new batch of astronauts, hey, there are, it seems that our astronaut team is really diverse......"

Seeing that Kuna's operation was as fierce as a tiger, crackling and crackling, they began to look for candidates for the task, and only those present reacted.

As long as you get out of the way, there's nothing you can't do!

According to Kuna's crooked theory, it seems that this manned flight around the moon will be in line with the procedure, and theoretically it can also ensure the safety of the astronauts, so that the astronauts can be fooled onto the ship.

So...... This meeting, which had no sense of participation at all, was successfully completed?

While everyone was looking at each other, Kuna had already chosen the people, and handed over the final persuasion to Jim, the director of the space department, and he left.

Oh, and a few words at the end, which fully reflects why people can be the president's henchmen.

"Pay attention to the external publicity, the test is less to me to say that the technology is more advanced, and after the inspection, all are GO!"

"Highlight the advanced nature of the spacecraft's various systems, and say that we obey the president's orders and make every effort to ensure the safety of astronauts."

"It is also necessary to show the life stories of the three astronauts, to show that the racial structure of our country is both diverse and equal."

"Everyone has the potential to become an astronaut who is admired by countless people......"
