Chapter 392: Merrican's Latest Mars Plan
Merrican has been working publicity, so people are also aware of its late-Mars plans.
The last time the Mars rover and Mars plane that sent nuclear batteries to the Mars window, according to the plan, this time it seems that the recovery device will be launched, and Merriken will also transport the Martian soil back.
But now there is no news at all.
Not to mention information about aliens on Mars.
There is also the starship rocket of the space fork, which has been built and has officially flown over, and it stands to reason that a manned landing on Mars should be considered.
Ma Yilong is an avid lover of the fire, and the starship rocket that he has been thinking about has been built, and it is impossible for him not to make trouble.
Even if it's not ready, it's okay to hold a press conference on a hot spot, according to Ma Yilong's previous character, this kind of hot spot must be rubbed, and now there is no news.
Odd.
It seems that there are no follow-up missions to Mars in the near future, and plans such as sample return will be moved back a few years, and its current focus is on the Tianting space station and the lunar base.
It likewise "turns a blind eye" to the aliens on Mars.
And the navigator space company on Tianxia's side, they made a big news before, the 32-ton unmanned exploration spacecraft flew to Mars, that is, they have the pride and ambition to contact aliens, and they also have a careful plan to transport back the Martian soil and rocks at that time.
But these lofty ambitions were all messed up by aliens, not only attacking the Navigator's large unmanned aircraft, but also destroying the large unmanned Mars rover and lander, so that the Navigator did not complete a single goal.
Last time, the Mars exploration window period was over, and the navigator flew to Mars orbit for more than a month with the advanced space propulsion system.
Don't you want to get the field back?
Yes, no.
So far, the Navigator has not said anything about it, and has not heard of any Mars exploration missions.
This doesn't make sense!
Is the navigator the kind of person who is willing to suffer?
Apparently not!
If you are afraid of the alien starfleet bombing the earth, but even if the official space agency does not release the relevant information, there are still many private observatories on the earth, but they have looked around the earth and have not found the alien fleet at all.
So theoretically, humanity currently has to deal with only four aliens on Mars, is there any difficulty in that?
They even crashed the spaceship, and the figures of those aliens were the height of human thighs, looking like weak chickens, and humans could send a few astronauts up to catch them.
Well, that's what netizens think, too.
Anyway, no matter what, netizens feel that the window period for this exploration of Mars is very strange, and there are a lot of folk movements, such as the private observatories mentioned before, as well as some private public accounts and media, all of which are talking about Mars and aliens on Mars, but there is no news from the major officials.
Well, there is no information about Mars, basically some information about the Earth's orbit and the Moon.
People have also asked the major space agencies, but they have not been given the information they wanted.
But the more this happens, the more strange people become, because this is a normal thing.
"I have a feeling that they must be working on something behind the scenes, because the situation is obviously not normal."
"I think so too, it's like a bandit comes to your door, even if you don't come out to confront him, you should keep an eye on him at the window to prevent him from doing bad things, how can there be a reason to sleep with your head covered?"
"Yes, that's it, the current situation is obviously not normal, I don't believe that the human side is not making any preparations!"
"Maybe I'll believe Tianxia, I even believe that it has great illusions about aliens, thinking that aliens are polite and honest, maybe they are still waiting to have friendly relations with aliens, but to say that Merrican is not prepared at all, then I don't believe it, because throughout history, it is either at war, or preparing for war, nothing else."
"That's right, although it's a little biased, but it's basically on point, I also feel that at least Merrican is preparing to deal with those aliens on Mars, maybe it's preparing the equipment for Mars landing now."
"I feel that Tianxia should not be idle, doesn't it have an old saying called 'Ming Xiu Plank Road Darkness Chen Cang'? I don't believe it's stupid, it doesn't do any defenses, and just waits to be friends with aliens. ”
"As the two most powerful countries on the planet, I think they have an obligation to protect humanity, so if there is a plan, it should be made public, and now it is sorry for all mankind to hide any information."
"Good guy, it's good that people are responsible for their own people, and I'm sorry for all human beings, I'm a good guy directly!"
There was a lot of discussion, both online and offline, and in August, the window between mid-September and the whole of October was getting closer and closer, and Merrican couldn't hold back at first.
Merrican has announced its own manned landing on Mars!
A lot of people look at it, good guys, and sure enough, I guessed it right, it is impossible for humans to be indifferent to aliens on Mars.
Others are even more hilarious, Merrican is indeed a beacon of humanity, and the protection of humanity has always been at the forefront.
There are also people who directly claim that Merrican is concealing the facts and demanding that all the information be made public, but more people are no longer paying attention to this part, and they are learning more about Merrican's manned fire plan.
Sure enough, the Starship rocket was used, because the official launch plan of the Merriken Space Agency was too late, and many projects had not yet been carried out.
But it is not the same as the fire plan announced by Ma Yilong, and if you look closely, it should be a combination of the official plan and Ma Yilong's plan.
Originally, Ma Yilong's plan was for the Starship rocket to carry cargo and astronauts into Earth orbit, then carry out several refueling in orbit, and finally fly straight to Mars.
After about half a year of space flight, it reaches Mars, and then the entire "Starship" lands on Mars.
His plan is like this, but his plan is flawed, that is, the starship can only land, not take off immediately, it needs to produce fuel on Mars, and it can only take off after it has enough fuel.
It is similar to the Navigator's Lunar spacecraft, but it is much larger and heavier than the Lunar Spacecraft, and there is an atmosphere on Mars, and the environment is much more complex than that of the Moon, so that the take-off conditions are also harsh.
In addition, with the assistance of the lunar base, the Lunar Ship has a clear source of fuel, and can easily take off, but the "Starship" will not work.
Originally, the starship would not fly to Mars for the first time to carry people, it also needed to transport some equipment to Mars first, and only after finding water and methane, and then obtaining oxidizer and methane fuel would it launch a manned "starship".
But now Merrican can't wait, so let the starship carry people on its first flight to Mars.
So they made a combined plan, that is, to load the Mars landing module from the Merriken Landing Project onto the starship.
As mentioned earlier, Merrican has a plan to go to the fire, but the overall progress is relatively slow, but the overall is slow, and some sub-projects are very fast.
In fact, the implementation time of the Merriken landing project has been delayed again and again, but because some projects are progressing smoothly, they were built early, and because they could not be launched, they could only be saved, including a Mars landing module.
So now the plan is that the "starship" will first enter the Earth's orbit, then receive refueling, and then the Mars landing module will take off and dock in orbit, and the starship will fly with it.
The nose cone of the starship will detach, allowing the dropship to dock to the starship's head, and then the nose cone will be worn on the dropship like a hat.
They used the nose cone as a shield to withstand the impact of some cosmic motes on the landing module during flight
Because this time it is to protect the earth and protect mankind, the astronauts this time are all from the military, and there are six people in total.
Among them are two Space Forces, one Air Force, one Army, one Navy, one Marine Corps.
The genders are four men and two women.
And in order to protect the planet, to protect humanity, they also carry weapons.
Once again, Merrican claims that this is to protect the planet and protect humanity!
