Chapter 626: The United States Space Program
In addition to being a kind of self-esteem, the isolationism adopted by the United States is more about the protection and development of its own country's industry and science and technology.
According to the United States' space exploration plan, in April 2024, the assembly and testing of the United States' manned space shuttle Artemis 1 will be completed one year ahead of schedule. The United States announced that in mid-May, Artemis 1 will be launched for lunar exploration.
The purpose of the Artemis 1 moon landing is not the same as the purpose of the Republic of China, the moon landing is just to simply show that the United States has the ability and the Republic to compete in space, whether it is the Moon or Mars, the exploration of space by human beings is not your Republic alone, and the United States has an absolute advantage in sky exploration.
After announcing the news of the lunar exploration, a NASA spokesman said: "This lunar exploration is to demonstrate the technological advantages of the United States, our Artemis 1 will stay on the moon for 12 hours, and then our astronauts will continue to reach the space shuttle to Mars, which is expected to arrive on Mars at the end of seven months." Our astronauts will stay on Mars for a week to conduct a detailed survey of the Martian topography and mineral resources, and find a suitable place for human settlement to lay the foundation for the future construction of the Martian base. Our Artemis 1 will return to Earth around October next year. ”
NASA spokesman is full of expectations for the future exploration of the universe, "At the end of next year or the year after, the United States will officially establish a Mars base on Mars, which will be the first human base on Mars, and the base will ensure a long-term scientific research team of more than five people, and the Mars base in our design will maintain the life and work of astronauts for up to half a year." ”
When it comes to the country's future aviation plans, a NASA spokesman is ambitious, saying: "In addition to building a base on Mars, the United States also has a great space voyage program, and we will launch a space deep space probe in the next five years, and the probe will sail one to the outer solar system to collect and retain cosmic data for mankind." ”
After talking about all this, the NASA spokesman, like several of his predecessors, scolded the universe, as if the entire universe was in the bag of the United States, and the spokesman also believed that through the space race, the United States will definitely defeat the Republic like the Soviet Union during the Cold War, and make a major leap in scientific and technological achievements.
The reporters in the audience began to ask questions, and the reporters' questions were very sharp.
CNN reporter: "May I ask the spokesperson, was this time the United States' plan to explore the universe stimulated by the landing of the Republic on the moon?" Isn't it a long-term stay when we stay on the moon for only twelve hours? ”
NASA spokesperson, "As early as the sixties of the last world, our Apollo moon landing program explored the moon, the moon is a dead moon, it has little exploration value on it, our astronauts go to the moon in addition to the shorter orbit time from the moon to Mars is a religious ritual, pay tribute to our Apollo ancestors, rebuild the glory of our American aviation." The moon landing and the exploration of Mars were planned long before the Republic landed on the moon, so there is no such thing as being stimulated. ”
New York Times: "Hello Speaker, did you inform the Republic of the United States about the moon landing this time?" Now that scientists are still stationed at the Red Flag Base in the lunar republic, will the experimenters of the two sides have a historic meeting on the moon? ”
NASA spokesperson: "The moon is a planet contributed by the whole human race, not to any country, and the moon landing program we implemented is autonomous and in line with the relevant cosmic laws of the United Nations, so we do not need to notify any country." In addition, this time, Artemis 1 landed on the moon at the equator of the moon, which is far away from the Red Banner Base of the Republic, so there will be no meeting scheduled. ”
Washington Post: "Speaker, we noticed that this time we used the space shuttle as in the past, and the Republic used a spacecraft to land on the moon. ”
When it was possible to show the technological advantages of the United States, the spokesman was in a good mood, he said: "The biggest advantage of the space shuttle is that it can be launched anywhere and reused, and in the future exploration of the universe, the advantages of the space shuttle will definitely be more obvious, there is no doubt about this." ”
The space program released by NASA has plunged the whole country into a huge discussion.
Most of those who support it hope that the United States will take this opportunity to rebuild its national prestige.
"I support the country's development of space technology, the scientific and technological innovation brought by the Apollo lunar exploration program to the United States has benefited the people so far, so many years, the space exploration program of the United States has been stagnant, it is time to land on Mars."
"The technology of the Republic is a small scum, we can now explore Mars and build a base on Mars, and the Republic is still playing on the moon, let's not talk about other aspects, the space exploration technology of the United States must be the world's NO1!"
Those who oppose it feel the exhaustion of the rice economy, and whether the declining economy can support the space exploration program of the United States? Serious national economic overdraft may not be exchanged for scientific and technological progress and social development, but never-ending turmoil.
"In the past few years, our technology is not good, trade is not good, and the unemployment rate has increased significantly, does the country really have the money to support such a huge moon landing program? This is not a small expense. ”
"It's better to use this money for space competition than for people's livelihood, wouldn't it be good to open a few more factories and do more projects for trade?"
"I think it makes sense to spend money on space exploration than to go to war overseas or spend money on military bases."
The people's complaints cannot change the will of the country, and Trump's last political achievement before leaving office is to push the dream of the United States into the universe and promote the big bang of earth science and technology based on space exploration. Coupled with all kinds of resources that human beings on other planets say are necessary, the current era of space exploration is the same as the Age of Discovery hundreds of years ago, and whoever develops a new planet first will have the first opportunity in future development.
The news of the universe exploration of the rice country reached Yongyue Island, and the subordinates were expecting a response from Boss Shen.
When the domestic and international crises worsen, the United States chose to explore space, was it a gamble or a wise move by Trump? It is indeed a good choice to use aerospace science and technology to drive the earth science and technology industry chain.
But that won't have much of an impact on the Chaos Creatures' space exploration programs.
"We are looking for an environment suitable for human habitation, they are here to develop their own scientific and technological chain, there are similarities and differences, according to our own plans, not to be led by the nose by others. But...... Since they are going to land on the moon, then we must also do our landlord friendship. In the face of challenges, Shen Huai will not be afraid at all.
