Regardless of who the informant is or who it is, the New York Times is a big hit this time.

The next day, the headline of the latest issue of the newspaper used a red-letter headline that occupied almost one-third of the picture to report the latest progress of Huaguo's lunar landing program - there was a major design error in the cooling system of the core module of the Yuegong, and the construction plan of the lunar orbit may be postponed!

According to people familiar with the matter, the reason for such a mistake is that on the one hand, Huaguo lacks experience in the field of space stations, and on the other hand, it is because the lunar orbit construction committee has set the mission schedule too hastily.

And the latter, most likely, is the main reason.

At the moment when the Sino-American space race is in full swing, as soon as this news came out, it immediately set off an uproar in North America.

NASA soon confirmed the speculation on its official Twitter account, saying that it had indeed heard about it, but it was not yet possible to determine the progress of the matter.

Compared with the news of the New York Times, the statement from NASA is undoubtedly much more credible. As soon as this tweet came out, it immediately caused widespread heated discussions among North American netizens.

【God...... We were waiting for the opponent to punch, and the opponent himself fell. 】

[As I said a long time ago, this is not a space race at all, although they did what the Soviets could not do, but they are still half a century away from us. ：D】

[Maybe we should donate to the Yuegong organization?] ：P】

[I agree!] The game is just starting and it's over, and it's too boring! XD】

[I'm looking forward to the end of the month more and more!] Let's hope Space-X doesn't let us down! 】

【……】

What's more interesting is that although the vast majority of people are watching the jokes of the Hangke Group and the Lunar Orbit Construction Committee, NASA did not go down to the ground this time, not only did not show its muscles and ridicule like last time, but even expressed regret for the matter of the Moon Palace.

Hangke Group is a respectable adversary, and while Congress and the White House may applaud the news, NASA does not want to see this respectable adversary fall like this.

It's not that the heroes sympathize with each other, it's just that it is purely because of the face that China's space program has brought them such a huge amount of money and political capital.

It is reasonable for them to hope that Hangke Group can survive.

At least, don't fall so quickly, so completely, it's better to struggle again......

Even more interesting than NASA's caution is that compared to the White House and Congress, which are almost about to open the champagne for a party to celebrate, a handful of people have even opened the caps of the champagne bottle and watched the fruit-scented bubbles spray onto the ceiling.

For those who have invested heavily in a low-Earth orbit launch program, there is no more exciting news than hearing that the lunar orbit construction program has been blocked.

Almost on the day when the new edition of the New York Times newspaper came out, relevant news was fueled and secondary processing by well-intentioned people, and it flew all over the domestic Internet.

One of the most representative is the anonymous account that published the article "We are losing this race" on a certain website last time, and this time it has stood up again.

Unlike last time, this time he is a prophet...... Even the posture of "savior" stood up, and continued to write against Fang Xuan.

[Unfortunately, although 10,000 were reluctant, the reality once again confirmed my guess. However, I still didn't expect that everything would come so suddenly and so tragically. 】

[The failure of the design of the core module of the Moon Palace, which is worth billions, is not an accidental thing, and it is even inevitable in a sense. From the very beginning of this irrational competition, I have seen the outcome of today, even if the problem is not with the loop heat pipes, but also with the rubber of the engine, or the circuitry of the solar panels. 】

[As I said, the technological dividends of controlled fusion directly led to the successful launch of Xiangrui, and the successful launch of Xiangrui was like a black curtain, covering up all the problems that should have been exposed behind the stage, allowing us to go further and further in the ecstasy of arrogance and false prosperity. 】

[The entire aerospace industry in China is like a wind-up machine, which has been pushed into the ring of a boxing match for the sake of some people's unrealistic vanity. 】

[From the lunar landing project to the lunar orbit construction committee, all policies are like a whip, brandished by a madman, being driven forward.] However, no one has oiled the machine, and no one has given it enough time to spend more time on the immature details. 】

[Perhaps Professor Lu is an excellent mathematician, physicist, and chemist, and his achievements in the field of controlled fusion are enough to go down in world history, but he is only a mortal after all, and as long as he is a mortal, there are boundaries of ability. History has taught us countless times that blind worship does not lead to good results. 】

[Now that the Lunar Orbit Construction Committee has been established, Professor Lu has also got what he wanted and sat on the throne of chief designer. His prestige in the academic community has also given him a large number of staunch supporters...... It can even be said that the believer absolutely supports his authority in the academic world, even if sometimes his approach is not so correct. 】

[The failure of the core module of the Moon Palace is a wake-up call. 】

[May the world's scholars ponder it!] 】

Like last time, after the article came out, it accumulated tens of thousands of likes in less than a day, and with the help of well-intentioned people, it was forwarded to major social platforms, spreading like a plague.

I have to say that this netizen, who did not want to be named, found a very appropriate entry point, and transferred the problem of the Hangke Group to the Lunar Orbit Construction Committee by raising the problem of loop heat pipes to the entire lunar landing project in a small way, and pointed the finger at Lu Zhou.

If it weren't for Lu Zhou's lofty ambition to set the goal in the lunar orbit when formulating the road map, if it weren't for the fact that the Lunar Orbit Construction Committee arranged the launch mission so tightly when making decisions, and if it weren't for the great joy of some people......

All of this could have been avoided!

Although there are many voices in support of Lu Zhou and rational voices, it has been proved that in this era of big data, human posting in front of computers has finally fallen behind.

Especially for the vast majority of people who are not good at independent thinking, it is too easy to influence their opinions.

At this time when the storm was shaking and public opinion was boiling, the official micro of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, the official micro of the China National Space Administration, and the official micro of the Aviation Science Group, which had been silent for three whole days and had been loved by netizens for three whole days, finally stood up this time.

And, almost at the same time, a scarf was issued.

The content of the scarf is very short, so short that even a few words are enough to explain it, but the amount of information in it is unusually huge.

I saw that in the text of the official Weibo of the Aviation Science Group, there were only six words and one punctuation.

[The launch plan remains unchanged!] 】

A picture of the Xiangrui parked on the runway of the Jinling Space Launch Center, and the core module of the Moon Palace that is "boarding"!

Ready to fly!

Objectives –

Lunar Track!

The entire Internet is boiling in an instant!
