One of the attributes of human beings is that they "like the new and hate the old", no matter how many people say they are nostalgic for the old, there are still more people who like the new.

Let's talk about Tianxia's naval fans, yesterday it was "I only love 055", today it is "I only like 075", and the day after tomorrow "I will always like 003".

And don't go into the water for the warship you love, as long as you go into the water for a minute, you will immediately change from "Britney" to "Mrs. Niu", and military fans will immediately fall in love with the next one.

This situation has now spread to the moon.

Previously, because Tianxia and Merrican each had to complete a manned landing on the moon within half a month, people were staring at the moon intently.

When the moon landed successfully that summer and the astronauts were stationed at the lunar base to carry out various scientific experiments, people's attention to the moon continued to rise.

They weren't interested in scientific experiments, they were simply interested in "the moon can live on people".

Astronauts can live on the moon, and so can ordinary people.

After all, the space station was used to live for astronauts, and later it also opened a business model, and even now it has directly engaged in a commercial space station, specializing in space tourism.

So it should be the same pattern on the moon.

And with the participation of the Navigator Space Company throughout the whole process, with people's understanding of the Navigator, the progress of commercial tourism on the moon must be faster than the progress of commercial tourism on the space station.

As for how much it costs to get to the moon and what entertainment is on the moon, most people don't care, they just watch the excitement enough.

But for some people, that's really hearted.

It's the people who were going to spend tens of millions of dollars on space tourism.

According to the pricing of the Navigator space tour, a million dollars can travel in space, and a few million dollars can be spent in the Star Inn for a day, so tens of millions of dollars should be able to go to the moon, right?

These people who originally planned to spend tens of millions of dollars to go to space, if they could use this money to go to the moon, wouldn't it be a dead earning?

The cost of a trip to the moon is really difficult to calculate, after all, the money for sending astronauts to the moon is not all the expenses, and there are many things that cannot be calculated, so the cost of the official astronaut landing on the moon is not used as a standard.

In addition, Ma Yilong's Starship rocket sold tickets for lunar tourism during research and development, but in fact, it is not a ticket for lunar tourism, but a sponsorship.

At that time, Ma Yilong said that it would take about $5 billion to develop the Starship rocket, and a wealthy man from a cherry blossom country was willing to bear 5% of it, that is, $250 million.

Since everyone has sponsored so much money, it is natural for people to go to the moon for a spin.

This rich man can not only go by himself, but also bring 6~8 artists to enjoy the beautiful scenery of the moon together.

According to the maximum 9 people, one person is almost more than 27 million US dollars, which is about the same as the cost of space station tourism in the early days.

However, this space tour is called "the first trip around the moon", not to mention the first time, anyway, it is gone, and the focus is on this "circummoon".

It means to circle the moon several times without landing, and the cost of these circles is more than $27 million.

The Navigator has always been cheaper than others, and likes to do it in one step, so some people analyze that the Navigator will definitely be cheaper than this when it travels to the moon in the future? And so much more.

Maybe this price will make all the trips to the moon go round.

Are people happy? Merrican's moon landing is coming? Just when people were about to cheer again, the world suddenly "froze".

Merrican's first mission to return to the moon failed!

failed, but it was saved by the cooperation of the navigator and Tianxia.

Just when people start to fear the moon again? Tang Chao landed on the moon.

Not only did he go to the moon? It also brought the Navigator's later lunar base construction plan.

Good guys, that's a dazzle.

With the exception of those core enthusiasts who can continue to be excited about the moon, most of the others have returned to their normal working lives.

But how can the navigators, who have entered a period of rapid development, bring them back to normal.

Before? Navigators have been building infrastructure and now they have better production plants? With more intelligent manufacturing equipment and perfect launch and take-off sites, how can it still be slow to develop.

Be? Tang Chao didn't want the earth's scientific and technological level to take off directly on the spot, but to take it step by step, because he was afraid that if science and technology soared too quickly, some social problems would not be solved urgently, and then there would be negative effects.

However, what the Navigator is doing now is not beyond people's imagination, and even in people's imagination, it should have been realized decades ago, only because the political forces have withdrawn from the aerospace sector, which has led to the slowdown in the development of aerospace science and technology.

Aerospace development has been slow, and in some ways regressed, as evidenced by the failure of the Mericon moon landing, and the Navigator is now only trying to make up for the progress.

After Tang Chao returned to Earth, the plan he had made before was in operation.

What he mentioned in the live broadcast is not just to say that the space station is going to be upgraded, and it must not be just bigger.

Going big is not called upgrading, only upgrading the experience to a higher level.

How to upgrade the space station?

Gravity!

Is the weightless environment a novelty?

Novelty!

But it's only a matter of a few days, and after a few days you know how troublesome a weightless environment can be.

Humans are weightless in space, not because they want to be weightless, but because they can't change it.

If you add a device to the space station so that the space station has a space where gravity can be obtained, then astronauts will go to the weightless environment when they need it, and go to the gravity space when they don't need it.

In addition, after studying the topic of "what happens to human beings in weightlessness" for so long, it is time to study the topic of "what happens to human beings after they acquire gravity in space".

So it's time for a small simulated gravity capsule to appear.

According to the plan, this thing should not appear in the near future, and it will not be until next year at the earliest, but there is no way, after all kinds of basic manufacturing equipment have been upgraded, the Navigator is now making things too fast.

The simulated gravity chamber can be folded together and is less than 14 meters in diameter when folded, but it uses a fairing that is 15 meters in diameter.

This leads to another problem, that is, the Navigator's current thickest rocket is the Yuanhang, but its core stage diameter is only 5 meters, plus two boosters of the same specification, the width is less than 16 meters.

This 16 meters is only the "width", and its "thickness" is still 5 meters, but the fairing can be calculated according to the diameter.

This is equivalent to a "giant" body thickness of 5 meters, both arms are also 5 meters thick, 15 meters in a row, its neck and body are thick, both are 5 meters, but it has a head 20 meters high and 14 meters in diameter.

Is this good?

It's not good!

But the Navigator can only use it for launches now, and although it is guaranteed to be successful, it does look dangerous.

And the 5-meter diameter rocket also really limits the carrying capacity of the whole components.

At a time when humans could not directly construct space, the overall transportation of some components was still an important means, so the Navigator needed a larger rocket.

Fortunately, it is already being designed and built, super big rocket!
