News from the Russian Space Agency, July 11 at 9 a.m. Moscow time. The Russian space agency has successfully test-launched a Polar Bear super-heavy launch vehicle at the Baikonur Space Center, and in the next two months, it will choose an opportunity to carry out a manned lunar landing program.

After the announcement of the return of the moonback rock samples by the Marching Ant Group, global space exploration is like a pot of boiling oil. The news of the Russian space agency, like a scoop of water, was poured into the pot.

Once, the former Soviet Union, as one of the two superpowers, was forced to suspend the lunar landing program due to problems with rocket technology and its own economic problems, and the former Soviet Union collapsed before the program was launched again.

Unexpectedly, decades later, Russia, which inherited most of the legacy of the former Soviet Union, announced the successful test launch of a launch vehicle.

The atmosphere that has long been tumbling has exploded in various public opinions.

After Russia announced the time of the moon landing, it caused a chain effect, and other countries followed suit and announced the time of the moon landing.

Reuters: European Space Agency (ESA) Director Jan Werner told this reporter that the European Space Agency's 'Dawn Program' will officially start the second step in half a month, launching a landing probe to the moon.

Asahi Shimbun: An informed source from the Island Nation's Space Research and Development Agency told this reporter that the Island Nation's Space Development and Research Institute will launch a lunar probe to the surface of the moon in the next month, officially launching the 'monthly reading program'.

New York Times: SpaceX and Israel Aerospace Industries jointly announced that Israel's second lunar probe, Genesis 2, will be launched on board a Falcon 10 carrier rocket early next month, opening Israel's second lunar landing program.

Times of India News: ......

……

Many countries have expressed their stance and announced to the media in a high-profile manner that they will launch a lunar lander in the next year to officially start India's lunar exploration program.

This is the second time that the world's major powers have taken a centralized stance to determine the time for lunar exploration after Chen Mo's last trip to space.

Many powerful countries do not want to lag behind in the step of landing on the moon, and China and the United States are left without expressing their position.

These are currently the two most powerful countries in the world, and China's development over the years has been far behind others in terms of high technology.

Huaxia's moon landing program has been carried out step by step, as early as two months ago, the launch time for next month was determined, and after the marching ant group successfully obtained the moon rock and returned, the plan has not changed.

The only thing that is uncertain is the United States.

The eyes of the world are focused on the United States.

This former superpower certainly does not want to be left behind in this lively competition.

While the outside world was looking forward to it, sure enough, not long after the countries announced their plans to land on the moon, NASA finally came out with the news.

NASA Administrator Jim Briden publicly announced to the media that NASA will launch a manned lunar exploration spacecraft on July 26 to return to the moon. The launch vehicle this time is the Hercules 2 rocket.

In this mission, the astronauts will stay on the lunar surface for a week, and will also put a small research module and a small ecological module on the moon to prepare for the construction of a lunar base in the future.

After nearly 60 years, the United States has returned to the moon.

The news was exposed and instantly stole all the headlines.

According to a person familiar with the matter, the construction of the lunar base is to develop helium-3 resources on the moon in the future, China's nuclear fusion technology has matured, and in the near future, nuclear power plants will be put into use, and the rich helium-3 resources on the moon will replace oil and become the main resource for the future major powers, which is also the reason why many powerful countries are vying to land on the moon.

Affected by the news that the United States plans to build a lunar base and develop helium-3 resources, coupled with the imminent commissioning of Huaxia's nuclear fusion power station, the impact of the news was the first to explode in the global stock market.

Global oil prices and coal prices have fallen differently, gold prices have risen sharply, some senior investors said that oil prices fluctuate sharply, gold will become the best safe-haven investment in the next few years, new energy and high-tech fields, will also be a good investment direction.

The upsurge of influence driven by public opinion has attracted the attention of the world, and the United States has also taken advantage of this news to consolidate its hegemonic position.

The U.S. economic market has also become active after various news spread.

The space race, in which other countries will not start until next month, will begin at the end of the month, as if to reveal that the United States wants to lead the world.

In various reports and heated discussions, the 26th followed.

Kennedy Space Launch Center.

In the waiting room for the final preparation, the three astronauts were chatting casually after completing their final physical examinations.

Already approaching the start of the mission, they were the first astronauts to return to the moon.

In their hands, there are also descriptions of the experiences of the astronauts who landed on the moon that year. Even if they are already familiar with these materials, they can't help but familiarize themselves with them before leaving.

They have no experience, and the moon is a completely foreign place to them, with the experience of their predecessors, which is of great help to them.

The importance and significance of this mission is extraordinary.

At that time, it was the era of the two countries competing for hegemony, and the moon landing was a battle for breath, proving that they were very strong, and now it is a turning point in history, the significance is extraordinary, and if they succeed, they will gain a place in the competition for energy resources in the future, occupy the first opportunity, and also prove that they are still strong after decades.

"Go to the moon, which of us do you think it would be better for us to get out of the capsule first?" Van Atives spoke.

He is the oldest and most experienced astronaut among the three astronauts, and has been to the International Space Station many times, and has also carried out spacewalk missions.

The two colleagues on either side of him are also experienced astronauts.

"That's a problem."

The youngest-looking astronaut on the left tilts his head.

"People only remember the first person, and everyone in the world knows that Armstrong was the first man to set foot on the moon, but Mr. Aldrin, who set foot on the moon 19 minutes later than Mr. Armstrong, is not known."

"In that case, let's use the most technical method in the universe to decide who will set foot on it first." Said the astronaut on the right.

"What's the most technical way?" Van Artives and the young astronaut on the left looked at him.

"Scissors, rock, paper."

“……”

The three of them laughed instantly.

While talking and laughing, the staff of the launch center came in and led them away. Now that the rocket is launched, they will also enter the lunar module of the rocket and wait.

Jim looked at the Hercules 2 rocket standing upright on the launch tower in the distance, pointing straight into the sky.

It was a three-stage super-heavy launch vehicle, which was larger than the Saturn 5 that carried out the Apollo program that year, and the diameter of the first-stage rocket reached an astonishing 15 meters and the height reached more than 130 meters.

This rocket is the key to this moon landing program.

The whole world is watching the launch, and if it succeeds, they will flex their muscles in front of the world.

"Director, the astronauts have successfully entered the lunar module, and there are still 3 hours and 10 minutes before launch." Jim's secretary stopped beside him and said.

"Mr. Kane, do you want to do a final check?" Jim looked at Kane.

This eccentric guy doesn't make a good impression on him.

Since coming to the launch center, he hasn't spoken much, his behavior is very annoying, his emotional intelligence is negative, and if it weren't for his terrifying research and development ability, Jim wouldn't want to see him.

He is a dignified director of the space agency, and when the two of them are together, they seem to be Kane's attendants, which makes him very unhappy and shameless.

However, this guy is really powerful, when he commanded the assembly of the rocket, it went surprisingly smoothly, and he was meticulous in all kinds of inspections, and found a few small problems that other staff members overlooked.

"No, you don't." Kane shook his head, and after speaking, he went back to the command and control room.

Jim's face was depressed.

Everything is ready to go.

The eyes of the world are paying attention to this launch, and the domestic media in the United States are preparing to broadcast it live.

This is an opportunity for their country to be great again.

Three hours later, under the global watch, the Hercules 2 rocket, in the launch tower of the Kennedy Space Center, soared into the sky.
