It has been four days since the sudden chaos before, because the situation is too bizarre and complicated, involving five astronaut candidates, resulting in four people out, three of them dead, for a while the investigation team is a little overstretched, NASA originally wanted to suppress the matter for the time being, and wait until the results of the investigation come out to consider what to do next.

But I didn't expect that just the next day, everything was exposed by the media, and the more evil it became, some people even called this series of accidents the curse of the moon landing, because what NASA is doing now has angered God, so it will lead to disasters.

In the past few days, there have also been people who have spontaneously marched to the Kennedy Space Center and outside Congress to protest.

NASA had to hold an emergency press conference to explain the situation, and the three remaining astronaut candidates were also in attendance, and they were bombarded with questions for 45 minutes, and the reporters were eager to ask about the color of the trio's underwear, including some guided questions that included pitfalls.

However, the three of them are obviously prepared for such a situation, and basically all the answers are leaky.

As soon as the 45 minutes arrived, the staff of the Public Affairs Office immediately took them to the break room in the back.

After everyone left, the door closed, isolating the noise at the other end, and there were only three people left in the room, Bruno immediately poured two glasses of water with a very good eye, took the cups, and said to Zhang Heng and Jia Lai obediently, "Brother, drink water." ”

The fat man smiled kindly, "A fat house like me really still prefers to drink Coke." ”

"Then I'll buy it for you right away!" Bruno immediately patted his chest.

"There's no need to be so troublesome, and the moon landing is about to begin, so it's better to keep a low profile at this time." The fat man paused, and then said with concern, "Are you still eating LSD recently, and I want you to pilot the lunar module when the time comes, no problem." ”

"No problem, no problem, I haven't touched that thing in a long time, and I'm more energetic than ever." Bruno Road.

Jia Lai's so-called opportunity and choice in the end did not exist at all, he had already made a choice, leaving Bruno and killing Zhen Kuang...... It's not because Zhen Kuang once deceived him, but because Zhen Kuang is more difficult to control and deal with than Bruno, so Jia Lai also offered his highest respect, that is, to kill the other party in advance.

Bruno, who was not so threatening, was left behind to form the final moon landing team.

There are now less than ten days left before the launch of Apollo 11, and considering that there is still a week of quarantine before the launch, which means that they actually have more than two days of free time, and only the final wilderness survival training is left in terms of training.

This is to ensure that the astronauts will be able to survive until rescue arrives when the craft lands in some extreme environment when it returns to Earth. During the Gemini program, astronauts were required to undergo five-day special survival and life-saving training in tropical, desert and water environments, and NASA even led a team to send astronauts to Iceland and the Amazon rainforest for secret training.

However, this time, because of the tight time, the wilderness survival training course was also cut a lot, the water survival training was completed in the swimming pool, and the tropical training part was cut directly, leaving the desert training, because Florida has a desert, but it was retained, but it was also put at the end, in case the other training was not completed, and there were only two days.

But compared to the previous training, this time there is no pressure on the three of them.

Because regardless of the outcome, the final list has already been determined.

So in the eyes of Jarlet and Bruno, it was no different from a trip, but just then the door to the lounge was opened again, this time with another figure besides the captain.

Jia Lai and Bruno didn't pay much attention to that figure when they saw it, thinking that they were just staff members in charge of wilderness survival training together, but a look of surprise appeared on Zhang Heng's face.

The captain didn't mean to introduce the two sides, but just went straight to the point as usual, "You have received a full 45 days of training, you have basically mastered all the skills required of an astronaut, and you have experienced all kinds of things in the process, but fortunately you have persevered in the end, I am proud of your efforts and performance, and you will have the opportunity to be a part of history." ”

Jia Lai and Bruno glanced at each other, and both saw a touch of joy in each other's eyes, although they already knew in advance that they were the final winners in this round of the game, and they could successfully board Apollo 11 and set foot on the moon, but when this day really came, the two still couldn't hide the joy in their hearts, especially considering what happened before, Jia Lai counterattacked from the last place to the final list, and now that the dust has settled, he no longer needs to disguise and hide his inner thoughts.

Among the three, only Zhang Heng's face was still calm, quietly looking at the man beside the captain who didn't say a word, which seemed to evoke some memories of him.

"We're going to start our final training session this afternoon, and I hope you all take it seriously, because this time, along with your previous results, will serve as an important reference for the final selection," Gille and Bruno continued. ”

"Wait, the final candidate...... What does that mean? Jia Lai frowned.

"We're already the final candidates, aren't we, it takes three astronauts to carry out Apollo 11, and now we're three." Bruno's eyes widened as well, "As you said, you lost a large number of astronauts because of a new infectious disease, and the astronauts of Apollo 10 have not recovered since returning from the last mission for unknown reasons, so you are only left with us now, aren't you?" ”

The captain's expression remained unchanged, "Yes, that's right, we did lose a large number of astronauts because of that mysterious infectious disease, to be exact, almost all of them, but some of them survived," he said and glanced at the man beside him who had been silent, "Neil Alden Armstrong, the former commander of the Apollo 10 program, has passed the observation period a week ago, is undergoing recovery training, and is in good condition, confirming that he can continue to carry out the Apollo 11 program." ”

"Wait......" Bruno looked horrified, "So there are only two places left for us now?" ”

"It's a place, to be exact, and we're very lucky, Michael Collins, and the service cabin pilot is also recovering well." "But don't worry, those who are not selected can stay in the ground control center and serve as a support team, and they can also participate in this great voyage." ”
