Chapter 154: Begin a thrilling journey around the moon
"I don't actually want to take on this mission, but the evidence they came up with has been recognized by the association, and the association can guarantee that we will not accept extremely dangerous tasks, but when all the processes are GO, we have no right to refuse."
Kyle Lee said with some frustration.
"There is a right to refuse, and there is an obligation to accept, which is actually quite fair!"
The only woman in the trio, the blonde Zena Cadman, said: "As the psychiatrist for this mission, I need to remind you, Lee, that you can't do this state. ”
"I'm sorry, Zena," Kyle-Lee tried to grab his hair, but he already had a helmet on his head, but the mask wasn't buckled.
He sat back down and smiled wryly, "I don't feel good just thinking about us being the equivalent of test orangutans." ”
As soon as he said this, Raja and Zena's faces were not good-looking.
They'd think that once in a while, but they would soon suppress it, and now that Kyle said it, they couldn't help but think that way.
The good thing is that they all have their own solutions.
Raja became the commander not only because of the color of her skin, Zena was better, she herself worked part-time as a psychiatrist.
After Zena has sorted herself out, she has to deal with Kyle's problem quickly, and the execution of the mission is already irreversible, so she must solve this "hidden danger".
"Kyle, Kyle, look at me, trust me, take a deep breath~"
Zena softly guided Kyle to follow her movements, taking a deep breath, and in just a few minutes, Kyle's mood stabilized.
"Thank you, Zena, I'm all right."
"No thanks, we've been training together for so long, it's right to help each other."
Seeing that Kyle was stable, Commander Raja nodded.
As astronauts, they have learned all kinds of cases from their predecessors, including various accident cases, and they have to learn even more.
Emotional stability of teammates is a very important prerequisite for the success of the mission.
However, it may also be those cases of failures and accidents that made this teammate a little out of control, because the accident was caused by equipment.
And this time they will take a rocket that will fly for the first time, and take a spacecraft that flies to the moon for the first time to carry out a mission around the moon.
It's normal for teammates to have this happening.
Not to mention Kyle, he is all forcibly calm, because he knows that the mood of panic is not good for the mission.
After sitting for a while, the radio in the preparation room sounded and they could come out.
Hearing the command, they took a deep breath and walked out of the preparation room with their hand-held ventilators.
When they walked out of the door, there was a "click" photo shoot outside!
According to the previous process, they smiled and waved their hands, indicating that they were very relaxed.
This scene made the audience watching the live broadcast more convinced of the technological advancement of Merrican.
"You see, even the astronauts who go on the field in person are so easy, which is enough to prove that people's technology is advanced, and it is okay not to do unmanned tests!"
"That's it, Ma Yilong also builds rockets in the open air, and the SLS is meticulously crafted, so there must be no problem."
"What age is it now, just use supercomputer simulation, what kind of actual test is used, it's a waste of money."
"In fact, for the sake of safety, it is still necessary to conduct an unmanned test, and it is too dangerous to carry people directly."
"Times have changed, and many things have to change! I also think this time is conservative, what about the lunar module, why is it only the Orion spacecraft, this direct landing on the moon is applauded!! ”
"The lunar module has not yet been determined which one to use, such as Space Fork, Deep Blue Origin and Navigator, etc., several companies are competing for it, and it is estimated that it will wait for tomorrow."
"It's impossible for the Navigator, it's impossible for the Navigator to get Merrican's order for the moon landing!"
"Why is it impossible, the Navigator's Yuegong-2 is equivalent to a large lunar module, and it has been successfully tested, the next time Yuegong-3 can fly directly to the moon with a few astronauts, I think they have a great chance!"
"What's the big deal, don't you know that Merrican has stopped mentioning the bidding? It must have been an internal competition, and the navigator didn't ...... at all."
The people who discussed it talked crookedly after a while, just like what I said before, and there were not many people who joined in the fun.
The astronauts boarded the shuttle bus to the umbilical tower, took the elevator straight up to the sky corridor, and entered the Orion spacecraft through the corridor.
There was room for six people to seat only three people, and the other chairs had been removed and replaced with supplies and sleeping bags, but they were still empty.
The staff is fastening their seat belts and doing one final check.
They looked carefully here, and on the other side of the earth, Tang Chao and his group also looked carefully.
It was morning on Merriken's side, and it was evening on Jiangkou City's side, and Tang Chao and several company executives watched the live broadcast in the conference room.
It's past nine o'clock in the evening, supper time, so they watch while eating supper.
The significance of this launch to Merrican is naturally not ordinary, and the significance to the world is not ordinary, if it succeeds, it will represent mankind getting close to the moon again.
There will be no landing, but it is very significant.
The officials on Tianxia's side will be a little nervous, but they are not in a hurry at all.
As management, whether it is the direct management side or the technical side, they know the actual plan of the company, and everything is going in order and in an orderly manner.
There's no need to mess around at all.
And they both knew why Merrican did it, because the other party was out of tune.
They have a lot to credit for it!
"Boss, what do you think are their chances of success?"
Assistant Zhang Qin asked.
"It's hard to say, it's usually half and half, but if you say it, they should have a good chance of success." Tang Chao leaned back in his chair and said casually.
"Yes, that's right," Zhang Liyan added next to him, "although they are in a hurry this time, and they feel like they are catching ducks on the shelves, but the success rate is really great." ”
"If they know that they must fail, or if they are not sure, the supervisor will definitely not sign it, and only when they feel that it is okay, will there be the live broadcast we see now."
After talking about it, I basically think that the success rate is very high, after all, the strength is there.
If a type of rocket reaches the point of launch, it basically means that the technology is no problem, and it will not be empty when it flies for the first time, at least it must bring an experimental platform.
It's just manned, and scientists are always very cautious.
On Merriken's side, the rocket was just like Tang Chao said, it really soared into the sky, and there was no accident halfway.
Entering orbit, they inspected the spacecraft, and after checking that there was no problem, the three-stage rocket restarted, and they accelerated towards the moon.
When they left Earth's orbit, their luck seemed to have run out.
Suddenly, a warning sounded inside the spaceship.
They thought it was a false alarm, but they didn't expect to smell the smell of burnt paste after a while.
"Fake, find the burning point!"
