Chapter 312: I'm afraid of comparing goods!
"Did you watch the news? The second launch of the Adventure Star was successful, and with two astronauts with it, Merriken's technology was really good. ”
"I watched it, I didn't watch the news, I forgot that the second launch of the Adventure Star is also today."
"Their technology is really good, although some aspects have been surpassed by the leader, but after all, the background of the people is there, the overall technical level is quite high, and the name of the world's first aerospace power will not be lost because of the emergence of a company."
"Of course, how can companies compare with countries, and the real world is not cyberpunk literature."
Merriken Aerospace is still powerful and has a high status, even if there is other exciting information, it has a certain place in international news, which is enough to make people notice, but then the topic returns to the "right path".
"It's really amazing, but I still feel that the leader in manned spaceflight is more awesome, after all, people have begun to commercialize space tourism projects."
"Hey, did you see the list? There is a person who bought a ticket from the Republic of Todria, a very small African country with a small population, that person is a famous local fruit king, who has been pouring fruits since his grandfather's generation, but he didn't expect that his generation could go to space as an astronaut! ”
"This country is familiar, is it that all the infrastructure projects of the whole country are contracted to the famous tropical fruit and copper ore producing country in our Tianxia?"
"Good guy, yes, the fruit king is worthy of being the fruit king, he can take $1 million when he says he will take it, and an ancestor who sells fruit has the courage to take out $1 million to go around space, it's ...... It's a person with a lot of dreams. ”
"Hey, here's the detailed information, people are not ordinary fruit sellers, they used to study at the California Institute of Technology, and they were supposed to graduate and enter the American Ruken Space Agency, but my father suddenly fell seriously ill, and the family business was unattended, so the only child of the family had to go back."
"That's no wonder, but this is probably fate, if you enter the space agency, it is estimated that you can only watch the astronauts take the spacecraft he participated in the creation of the spacecraft, and there will be no day for him to go to the sky today."
"Probably, who knows, maybe he won't have such good luck if he changes the timeline, I looked at the data released by the navigator, there were more than 200 million people grabbing tickets at that time, are there so many people on our earth who can easily come up with a million dollars???"
"Haha, there are a lot of people joining in the fun, but they shouldn't be lucky, if there is one that grabs it, it must be all over the world now with a screenshot of the 'insufficient balance'......"
"There are so many categories of passengers this time, and there are even royals from a small country on the side of Europa, who is a princess......"
The Internet is full of information about the sale of tickets for the Navigator's commercial space trip, and even if there is information about the second launch of the Adventure Star, it will be a matter of grabbing tickets for a while.
No way, the impact of commercial space travel is too great, especially for ordinary people.
This is equivalent to the comparison of the popular acceptance of unpopular art films and commercial popcorn movies.
Professional critics, professional judges, professional industry insiders and artists, they look at unpopular art films one by one and applaud and rave reviews, and then turn their faces and scold commercial popcorn movies, saying that commercial popcorn movies are not worthy of being called movies at all, which is an insult to the film industry.
And the billions of viewers, their professionalism is not so high, they want to have a good time, or cry when affected by the plot, or enjoy a visual feast, worthy of the ticket money they paid.
As long as the plot is passable, there is no forced feeding by the screenwriter, director and actors, and the picture is good-looking, it will be very satisfied, and the box office of the movie will be piled up to a very high height.
For them, art films, okay, can be appreciated, as for unpopular art films......
"I'm not here to spend money to find abuse, and I don't want to see a question mark, and the chairs in the movie theater are not comfortable to sleep on, so why do I want to go to the movie theater to see that thing."
Of course, this is just a metaphor, after all, aerospace science and technology is not about art, but about hard core power.
As long as the strength is hardcore enough, it is basically a comprehensive harvest.
Now don't look at only 16 passengers to enter space, but their every move has attracted the attention of the world, this time it is really the world, whether it is the original test flight or the European emperor into space, it can not compare to this row.
Before, they were basically Tianxia people, and the biggest influence was Tianxia and Merriken, and other countries just watched the excitement, and they couldn't even join in the fun.
This time, the 16 people are distributed in 12 countries, except for Antarctica, and there are several people on each continent.
Now you don't need to look at the excitement, there are 12 hot spots in 12 countries, and the number of air tickets is not arranged according to the strength of the country, a bit of a random taste, among these 12 countries, only Tianxia has manned space capabilities, and the rest of the countries have no strength to send people into space.
Yes, Meiruken, Maozi and the new Peacock Country do not have a single ticket.
There are nearly 40 countries in the world that have astronauts in space, but most of them do not send astronauts from their own countries into space, but take Maozi or Merrican spacecraft.
Three of the 11 places are located in countries that have astronauts in space, and the remaining eight countries can really take the opportunity to achieve zero breakthroughs for astronauts.
This kind of thing is exciting not only for those travelers with tickets, but also for the whole country.
Can you not be excited that this is about to come true, something that I couldn't have imagined before?
They are excited, and the country next door to them is even more excited!
, they were all lying on the ground, astronauts going into space had nothing to do with a country like themselves, and the International Space Station was not looking for cooperation with themselves, and now someone in your country suddenly wants to go into space?!
Everyone who said yes fell behind together, and you secretly made up the class!
Damn it!
Is love going to disappear?
Who can stand this!
So after such a stimulus, those countries that didn't grab tickets, and didn't even pay attention to it before, couldn't sit still.
Especially those countries that are usually ranked last in the international rankings, can only compare with their neighbors, and then have a slight sense of superiority, they find that their neighbors who are lower than themselves are actually going to produce astronauts, so they will definitely run ahead of themselves when they come out with a new ranking!
So they made up their minds that they must also send people from their own country into space!
Regardless of whether there are rich people in their own country who are interested in space, if they want to spend money to go around space, the government must be interested, and they must get a place to enter space as soon as possible.
The news is right, it's a new space age, and if you haven't been to space, you won't be able to keep up with it!
Even if you don't care about the development of aerospace technology in those powerful countries and big countries, you have to care about the "aerospace" changes in neighboring countries!
Just like a person can not care about what car the super-rich drive, what mobile phone they use, and what food they eat, anyway, it is better than their own car, mobile phone and food, but they can't help but care about what their neighbors drive, what mobile phones their colleagues buy, and what meals their neighbors eat!
That's face!
Although comparison is not advocated, you have to admit that when you use something better than the people around you, your mood will be a little more relaxed.
The affairs of the individual are only related to the individual, and the affairs of a country are related to the national recognition.
If the people feel that the current government institutions are inferior to those of their neighbors, then ...... It's dangerous.
