Chapter 680: Hope that I dare not admit

The Russian media did not explain to NASA, and directly published the photos of the landing site taken by the Mars satellite.

Although there was a thick layer of dust, the black-and-white infrared photos taken by the satellite could clearly see that there was a space shuttle-like object at the landing site that was only attached to the ground.

When zoomed in, it is clear that the shuttle was not a single unit, but was broken into three large pieces and countless small pieces.

Through the analysis of the images, NASA can deduce that a relatively large fragment in the middle is the landing module of the astronauts, and now it can be basically inferred that the Mars landing failed, and the four astronauts are more than lucky.

The United States continued to remain silent, but the Russian media directly inferred that the launch had failed and that four astronauts had been killed.

When the people of the United States heard the news, their hearts were like ashes, and the Mars landing plan, which took several years to spend a huge amount of money, carried the dream of the people of the United States and the pride of a big country, but now it has completely failed.

The people of the United States are completely angry, believing that the epidemic infection some time ago and the failure of today's landing on Mars, Trump ZF must pay for its wrong actions.

That night, a NASS spokesperson said with a heavy heart: "It is with great sadness to announce that Artemis 1 has been lost, and NASA will do its best to search the landing site of Artemis 1, and I wish our astronauts well." ”

As soon as the news came out, public opinion was in an uproar.

The current reporter hastened to apply for a question.

"What is the current situation we have?"

"May I ask the speaker, the word you just used is lost, do the astronauts still have any hope of life?"

"Speaker, does NASA know the reason for the failure of this landing, Russian satellite images have shown that Artemis 1 disintegrated after landing, this is already a failure, in the harsh environment of Mars, astronauts have no chance to survive at all, why use the loss of contact?"

The more questions the reporters asked, the angrier they became.

"Are the technical indicators for this landing on Mars up to standard? Did we choose to land on Mars without fail? ”

"According to the weather conditions on Mars some time ago, Mars is in a storm period, why do we still ask Artemis 1 to land during the storm period, is there a 100% safety guarantee for landing in this weather condition?"

One question after another, the NASA spokesman was speechless, and he hurriedly put away the manuscript and left the venue.

The host was also ashamed and helplessly said: "This is the end of the press conference, if you have any questions, you can pay attention to the official website of NASA." ”

This move completely angered the reporters, and some people directly began to scold.

"F**K, that's how NASA treats people's questions, this is Trump's attitude!"

Some people even threw notebooks, microphones and other items on the stage, and the NASA press spokesman and host hugged their heads and ran away, and the press conference ended hastily.

The negative emotions of the failure of the Mars landing spread among the people of the United States, and the successive blows completely shattered the dream of the great United States.

The next day, the Senate's impeachment process against Trump officially began. Millions of people across the country have signed the petition for Trump's impeachment.

Trump was also anxious, and then issued a statement that he would never take the initiative to resign.

Houston, NASA's Mars Program Control Center.

Engineers and scientists analyze the data collected from Mars.

Analyst: You say, "You can confirm that the whole piece in the middle is the landing module. The landing module has a special survival system, including oxygen, drinking water, food, temperature, etc., and we can only hope that the survival system of the landing module has not been destroyed, and Karachi and the others are still alive......"

"If the damage to the landing module is not very serious, then they will use the landing module's communication equipment to contact us, why haven't we received any news now."

Kane, the person in charge, was silent for a while, and said: "We still shouldn't have made a decision so early, the radio transmitter of the landing module is outside, and it may have been damaged when it landed, and now Karachi they may be trying to repair the communication equipment and get in touch with us." ”

The reason why NASA staff did not conclude that the astronauts were dead was because they were not sure that the landing module would be intact, and if the interior of the landing module was intact, the astronauts would really have a chance of survival.

Kane asked, "How long will the landing module have food, water, and oxygen?" ”

The subordinate replied, "If all the equipment is working properly, then food can be supplied for about three days, drinking water for about a week, and oxygen for a long time." Large quantities of food and water are mainly in the cargo hold. ”

The command staff pointed to another large piece of debris about five hundred meters away from the landing module, and said: "Judging from the appearance, this is the cargo compartment, which contains a large amount of food and water, and if the astronauts survive, I don't know if they can still get food." ”

For astronauts to survive on Mars, oxygen, food, water, and temperature are indispensable.

"There is also temperature, because the atmosphere of Mars is not as thick as that of Earth, so the temperature of Mars also changes relatively quickly, according to our analysis, the temperature of Mars at night today is only about minus 70 degrees. If the thermostat system of the landing capsule breaks, they will not last long. ”

Several hypotheses are based on the premise that the astronaut is still alive, and even if one of the first conditions of life is not true, the astronaut will definitely die.

Kane looked at the analysis report and asked, "How long will it take for our Adventure to reach the landing site now?" ”

"If you don't meet you, you'll be able to reach the landing site in a month."

"A month? Will they be able to hold out until a month? If you want to go to the cargo hold from the landing module, you have to put on a space suit, and the space spacesuit is in the cargo hold. ”

No matter how you calculate it, astronauts only have the life of death, unless a miracle occurs, but unfortunately there is no miracle in the face of reality.

What to do? Whether to immediately launch another spacecraft to Mars to support or just give up.

"If we hide the news that the astronauts may survive, it may cause public dissatisfaction, and if we publish the news that the astronauts may or survive......"

"If we announce that astronauts might survive, we will have nothing but to watch them die. This is even more cruel to the people. ”

"So...... We just announced that the astronauts were missing, and did not confirm whether they were dead or not? ”

"According to the current national strength and technology of the United States, we do not have the ability to launch Artemis 1 again, and we do not have the ability to send it to Mars with tenacity, at least for 30 years, President Trump has made the economy of the United States seriously overdrawn......"

Kane let out a long sigh, "Perhaps, only the Republic has this strength......"
