SLS, which stands for Space Launch System, is the abbreviation of "Space-Launch-System". The SLS rocket is the mainstay of a series of heavy-duty rockets in the United States, and the SLS rocket has become synonymous with the American super-heavy rocket booster since the successful first launch test in 2017, with a maximum carrying capacity of 165 tons, which exceeds any previous launch vehicle in the United States, including the famous super rocket in the "Apollo Program" - Saturn 5.

The goal of the SLS rocket was clear at the beginning, hoping to send humans to the moon, especially Mars, through SLS.

Now, ten years later, SLS rocket technology is even more mature.

However, the powerful capacity of 165 tons can only rank second in the world, and the first rocket with carrying capacity is the "Angara A5G" super-heavy rocket booster from Russia.

Today, at dusk in Florida, the SLS rocket carried the 158-ton Noah core module into Earth's low-earth orbit.

Under the focus of the world's attention, the countdown of the last second sounded in the ears of all the American people at the scene, and then, everyone saw the shocking scene at the moment of ignition of the launch site, the speed of light was faster than the sound propagation, and the skyrocketing fire and white smoke instantly surrounded the entire launch site, and soon after, the deafening sound and the frequency of the earth's trembling tremor reached the people who were observing the outer area of the launch site.

The SLS rocket slowly lifted into the sky, and the afterglow of the setting sun shone on the continuous rise of the super rocket, and the smoke sprayed from the tail of the rocket in the sky was shocking.

The American people on the ground are cheering, and the SLS rocket not only carries the 158-ton "Noah" core module, but also carries the "Martian dream" of the entire American people.

The core module of "Noah" has been sent into the designated berthing in low-earth orbit without danger, and in the next few months, it will orbit the Earth, because there are more flight components to be sent into outer space to complete the assembly into a complete "Noah".

Three days later, Vandenberg Air Force Base in California on the west coast will also carry out a major launch program, and the famous "Hercules" heavy-lift carrier rocket of the United States will send the "Orcules" spacecraft to the orbital platform and complete the space rendezvous and docking with the "Noah" core module that has already entered space.

The Orion spacecraft will be an important vehicle for landing on Mars, allowing it to fly back and forth between Mars and outer space.

SpaceX's "Falcon" series of recyclable launch vehicles will also be dispatched successively, and these small and medium-sized launch vehicles will send another important component of "Noah" - centrifugal capsule to outer space.

"Noah" also has a centrifugal gravity manufacturing module, which is naturally incomparable with the centrifugal gravity cabin on the "Tiangong Orbit Star Port" in terms of volume, but centrifugal gravity manufacturing is an indispensable and important part, and the current scientific and technological means of human beings cannot do the artificial gravity system in theory, but it is not difficult to obtain centrifugal force through simple rotation, and it is not a problem technically, mainly how much to invest, but obviously, this time, in addition to the nearly $20 billion appropriation given by Congress to NASA, there are so many local technology giants involved, money is certainly not an issue.

The journey from Earth to Mars will take about half a year at the current speed of human beings, and it is definitely not a good thing for astronauts or scientists on the spacecraft to remain weightless all the time during this period.

In addition to being responsible for sending the components of the centrifugal capsule to outer space one by one, SpaceX is also responsible for sending all the fuel and major supplies needed for landing on Mars, including the "Beam inflatable capsule" produced by Bigelow Aerospace, which is undoubtedly the best choice for the construction of a Mars outpost base.

The recent frequent space activities of the United States have been watched by the whole world, and they all know that this space competition is about to enter a white-hot stage, and the US media have covered it overwhelmingly.

On the other side of the Pacific Ocean, China's matrix CMSX and the Air Aviation Administration SA have also not stopped. The so-called plan can't catch up with the changes has been confirmed again, sometimes it's not that you can play with peace of mind if you want to play a single machine, and this series of moves by NASA in the United States has also put a lot of pressure on CMSX and SA. The Americans have begun to build "Noah" in outer space, and a series of progress and Sun Li, the core module and the "Orion" spacecraft have been sent to outer space to complete the space rendezvous and docking.

The "Tiangong Orbital Star Port" under the Chinese matrix CMSX has not yet been sent into space, and the "Twin Plan" has been announced vigorously, but it is an indisputable fact that there are no practical results. Countless people and outside media at home and abroad, countless eyes are staring at it, it is impossible for Liu Yuliang to have no pressure, although it can be completely ignored, but obviously, in the final analysis, it is impossible to ignore the invisible pressure brought by the outside world.

Just when NASA completed the Noah core module and the "Orion" spacecraft and completed the space rendezvous and docking, a week later, the Chinese matrix CMSX and the SA of the National Aviation Administration finally made headlines under the convergence of global vision.

The rocket booster is the latest "Long March series" carrier rocket independently developed by the Republic of China, and it is also the largest thrust booster of the country's carrier rocket so far, which can carry up to 155 tons of materials or space stations into the earth's low-earth orbit berth. Although it is slightly inferior to the carrying capacity of the SLS rocket of the United States, considering that the country started in the field of space exploration decades late, it is enough to make the world look at it.

After the specific launch date was announced, countless people or tourists came to the outer area of the Wenchang launch base, and the tourists also carried out outdoor live broadcasts, which were permitted, and people who came to the scene had to watch the much-anticipated launch feast with their own eyes, in addition to the public and tourists, there were also reporters from major media newspapers around the world who would arrive at the scene for live reporting.

And as the launch day approached, another piece of news immediately caught the attention of the global vision.

On the day NASA launched the "Orion" spacecraft, Liu Yuliang had already flown to Moscow, the capital of Russia, on a special plane under Matrix Technology to discuss cooperation with the Russian Space Agency.

On the 22nd, Liu Yuliang, on behalf of the Chinese Matrix CMSX company, reached a huge deal of up to $2.9 billion with the general director of the Russian State Space Affairs Corporation, the "Energy" rocket and space corporation.

The second core module of the "Tiangong Circumferential Orbit Starport" under the Chinese matrix CMSX will be sent to outer space by the "Angara" A5G" super-heavy rocket booster under the "Energy" Rocket and Space Group, and the second largest core module of the "Tiangong Circumferential Orbit Starport" weighs 178 tons.

Lao Maozi is the successor of the former Soviet Union, inheriting 90% of the "heritage" of the former Soviet Union, you must know that in the last century, the United States and the Soviet Union competed for space hegemony, the Soviet Union occupied a great advantage, and a number of human firsts were completed by it.

The Soviet Union fell, but his technology was not lost, it was basically inherited by the Russians, and it has always been steadily developing.

It's just that Lao Maozi has a body of technology, but no money is the eternal pain of the "polar bear", the footsteps of the former Soviet Union have been warning the polar bear, and now it can only be in this embarrassing situation, there is a powerful technology but in this new century in the hot space race, can only be reduced to the second echelon, watching others have fun, and they can only be reduced to the masses of melons, the Russians are not convinced, but they can also join the ranks of the dissatisfied, as long as you have money, but the fallen Soviet Union made Lao Maozi tremble.

This time, Liu Yuliang went to Moscow, and he was ready for heavy bleeding, and it was not surprising that Lao Maozi, who opened his mouth widely, finally sucked $2.9 billion from CMSX.

China's matrix CMSX once wanted to give up the help it sought from Russia and complete the autonomous launch, but the huge volume of the second core module is there, and the domestic rocket booster is really limited in the current capacity, and the maximum capacity of the "Arc Eagle system" aerospace transport aircraft is 60 tons, although it leads the world in small and medium-sized rocket boosters and the American space shuttle, but the target is completely unequal.

At one point, scientists and engineers at CMSX suggested that the second core module be divided into scattered parts and delivered through the "Arc Eagle series" aerospace transport aircraft and arc towers.

But this plan was quickly overturned, because there was not enough time, to spin off on Earth and reorganize in space. This would have reversed a lot of the plans, which would have required a lot of effort and would have to redesign the entire core module. The situation is stronger than people, and CMSX can only endure it, and it is cheap for Lao Maozi once.

In a few years, when my super investment ability goes up, this situation will not happen again.

The Russians also took a fancy to this, knowing that there are not many opportunities, they can pit a wave, they can pit as much as they can, and they will have no chance in the future.
