In the spacious satellite control center, Bill Nelson and the elderly Mr. President stood silent in front of the monitoring station.

The crash of the Artemis lunar module is a major blow to NASA and the entire United States, and it is also an aviation disaster.

In some ways, it's even worse than the Challenger space shuttle crash.

After all, at that time, they were clearly ahead of their former opponents, and successfully completed various miracles such as manned spaceflight, manned moon landing, and the launch of the space shuttle in the aerospace field.

Moreover, when the Challenger disintegrated, the former great power had entered the last years of its life, and they were in the lead in politics, trade, finance, science and technology, and other confrontations, and they were not worried about their own situation.

But now, as if the times are reincarnating, the great power in the East has risen, posing an extremely serious threat to their status and hegemony.

Even, in the field of energy, the other side is already ahead of them.

If the aerospace field, which is one of the glorious existences of the United States, loses again, the blow to them will be far more serious than the disintegration of the Challenger, and no one can judge what kind of waves the world pattern will set off.

But what is certain is that for the United States, this is a rather losing situation.

Especially when the new round of space race has just begun, they have such a major accident, it is difficult not to wonder whether they still have strong space capabilities.

At this moment, the door of the satellite control center was suddenly pushed open, and a lady in a small suit walked in quickly.

"Sir."

After quickly handing over the document bag in his hand, the secretary who rushed over continued to add: "The latest information, the news about the accident of our Artemis lunar module has leaked. ”

Hearing this, the pupils of the elderly president standing in the control center and NASA's director Bill Nelson suddenly contracted.

Quickly taking the brown paper bag from the secretary's hand, the old man took a deep breath and opened it, and took out a document from it.

What made his eyes froze was that the document inside was nothing else, but a newspaper. On the front of the newspaper, a bold headline hits his pupils.

NASA Mission to the Moon Will Fail? Artemis Lunar Module Suffers Serious Damage! 》

Not only is the headline eye-catching, but the newspaper also devotes almost half of the page to describing the details of their Artemis lunar module crash.

There are even some photos that they don't even have.

It was taken by the Chang'e-5 orbiter as it swept low above the moon, and it can be clearly seen that the Artemis lunar module and the life support unit are located alone at the south pole of the moon, with no signs of activity on the ground.

Looking at the news in the newspaper, the old gentleman's face was ugly, as if he might be pumped in the next second.

He angrily slapped the newspaper in his hand on the console and cursed angrily: "Damn it! How did the news leak out?? ”

On the side, NASA's Bill Nelson quickly picked up the newspaper from the table, and when he saw it, he was immediately confused.

The Artemis moon landing accident was completely leaked by the country opposite.

"Shet! Fack! ”

Bill Nelson followed by a curse, he never thought that the Artemis moon landing accident would be leaked out at this critical point in time.

What can be expected is how much public opinion will be aroused among the public once this report spreads.

And what kind of pressure will NASA, and even the White House, face.

What's worse is that they are not ready to face these people's doubts.

If a reasonable explanation and reason cannot be given, I am afraid that tomorrow will be the time for him to step down.

On the other hand, as Bill Nelson expected, the public opinion among the people of the United States exploded directly after this news report came out.

After the Artemis lunar module landing accident was exposed, the media, self-media and users on Facebook, Twitter, blogs and other major social media platforms reposted the article one after another.

In the news report, the China Space Administration not only fully released the pictures taken by the Chang'e-5 orbiter, but also quoted the analysis and opinions of the 'Xinghai Research Institute'.

The Artemis Lunar Module was damaged during landing, resulting in two astronauts trapped inside the Lunar Module and unable to move normally, and the supply of oxygen and supplies in the module will most likely last no more than three days.

Although Xu Chuan's name was not named in the analysis and report, because of the relationship between the Xinghai space shuttle and controlled nuclear fusion technology, not many people abroad know about this institute.

Coupled with the pictures of the moon surface in the empty and unmanned activities in the report, it immediately aroused fierce discussions among the people of the United States in major media.

【WTF？ Operation Artemis failed???? 】

How is it possible? I remember that yesterday NASA also announced the progress on its official website, saying that the lunar module successfully landed on the surface of the moon. 】

[Damn, I read the whole news report, and judging by the pictures taken on the lunar surface, the lunar module does look problematic, and there is no sign of our astronauts' activities on the lunar surface. 】

[My God, I know that Xinghai Research Institute, he is the scientific research unit of the famous Professor Xu, controllable nuclear fusion and the space shuttle called 'Xinghai' were developed by him, if it is these analyses he said, I think our moon landing may really have a problem.] 】

[Oh, Shet! I went to the official website of NASA, and the announcement of the progress of the lunar landing on it stopped, and it is still stuck at the node where the lunar module successfully landed on the lunar surface! 】

[I believe in the United States! Even if there is an accident on the moon, NASA will never give up on any astronauts, and the new moon rocket will definitely be ready to welcome our heroes back! 】

[But the oxygen on the lunar module can't last that long, and judging from this report, NASA has less than three days left.] 】

[These are just Huaguo's analysis, it is impossible to prepare only three days of oxygen supply for the moon landing, and the Apollo 11 lunar module has a week's oxygen reserve. 】

[In any case, NASA may have hidden the truth!] We need to know the truth! 】

With the fermentation of time, not only on the Internet, but also in real life, there are constantly people discussing reports of the Artemis moon landing accident.

For the people of the United States, who have always considered themselves to be a space power, and the honor of aerospace is deeply rooted in the bone marrow, the sensation caused by the accident of the moon landing is particularly strong, especially when the news was broken by the competitor.

This means that NASA and the White House authorities have hidden the truth about the failure of the moon landing from them, which is even more unacceptable to the people of the United States.

After the relevant news was exposed, NASA, whether it was the Washington headquarters building, or the local branches, and even Space-X, Blue Origin, Lockheed Martin, and other companies involved in the Artemis program, were all chased and intercepted by reporters.

Many media reporters with long guns and short guns blocked in front of the building at NASA headquarters, waiting for NASA to give a reasonable explanation.

And for the NASA authorities, it is clear that the current press conference is not a good time.

They could not find a way to bring back the astronauts who were 380,000 kilometers away, nor could they find a reasonable reason to explain the failure of the moon landing, especially the work of concealing the failure of the moon landing.

Although they have the ability to launch another lunar module, time is running out.

However, in the face of the ultra-young crowd of people and media reporters, NASA had to stand up and make a reasonable explanation.

"Director Bill, how is the Artemis Lunar Module doing? Did our moon landing really fail? ”

"Is the information released by Huaguo true? Are our astronauts still trapped in the lunar module? ”

"Did NASA not consider rescuing the two astronauts? How long will the oxygen and supplies in the Artemis lunar module be supplied? ”

"Please answer our questions head-on, we have the right to know the truth of the matter!"

Standing at the press conference, Director Bill Nelson faced the microphone that almost went into his mouth, listening to the nonsense questions of these media reporters, with a headache and a headache.

He was tempted to leave the interview to anyone else, but it was clear that it was impossible to pull a random employee out of the crowd in the face of passionate media reporters and the public.

Looking at the reporter in front of him, Bill Nelson took a deep breath and explained loudly: "Regarding the Artemis moon landing, if necessary, NASA will release relevant information in a timely manner. Please rest assured that the two astronauts who landed on the moon are in good condition so far, and we have sufficient preparations and means to ensure their safety."

As for the current situation of the Artemis lunar module, he can only choose to answer some irrelevant questions in a light way.

If the people of the United States know that they are ready to give up the lives of the two astronauts and discuss how to keep the relevant information as secret as possible, I am afraid that public opinion will completely collapse.

But it is clear that after the opponent completely revealed the situation of the Artemis lunar module, the media reporters present were not satisfied with this answer.

If the news broke the truth is true, then their astronauts may have less than three days to go.

After briefly dealing with the reporters outside, Bill Nelson wiped the sweat from his head, breathed a long sigh of relief, and walked into the building.

"Damn * country, nosy"

In the elevator, Bill scolded and complained that if Hua Guo hadn't blown this out, NASA and the White House wouldn't have had such a headache.

If you can't find a way to solve this problem, I believe that the one who will not hesitate to throw him out as a backstabber to shoulder the responsibility for this accident.

Returning to the satellite master control center and looking at the information transmitted back by the monitoring center, Bill Nelson's head grew again.

Twelve hours have passed since the accident of the Artemis lunar module.

Based on the amount of oxygen remaining, the two astronauts were able to survive less than two days, only forty-three hours to be exact.

Forty-three hours later, even if they launch another BRF rocket, it will be too late.

"Damn it!"

Staring at the information on the screen, Bill Nelson cursed again, thinking about how to solve this matter1.

If the moon landing accident had not been poked out, they could have minimized the impact of the incident.

But now, if this problem is not properly solved, let alone NASA, even the White House will suffer a major blow to prestige.

At this moment, NASA Deputy Director Bill Gerstenmaier pushed open the door and walked over quickly.

"Huaguo just contacted us"

Hearing this, Bill Nelson frowned: "What are they contacting us for?" ”

Bill Gerstenmeier: "On the rescue of the two astronauts trapped in the Artemis lunar module. ”

Hearing this, Bill Nelson was stunned for a moment, frowned and asked, "What do they mean?" ”

Bill Gerstenmeier hesitated for a moment, but then spoke: "Huaguo said that if we need it, they can provide rescue operations. ”

"Heh~" Hearing this, Bill Nelson suddenly snorted disdainfully, and retorted without thinking: "What even we can't do, they can do"

Before he could finish speaking, he remembered something and fell silent.

The space shuttle Xinghai does have the ability to land on the moon within 48 hours.

If Hua Guo makes a move, maybe their astronauts will indeed be saved.

However, if Huaguo is entrusted to save people, where will NASA and the face of the United States be placed?

Doesn't this prove that the aerospace strength of the United States is inferior to that of China?

Damn it!

Rather than this, it is better to let the two astronauts die on the moon, and both NASA and the authorities will hold a beautiful funeral for them to make enough compensation.

Even, they can also promise that they will send a spaceship to bring their bodies back in the future, so that every citizen of the United States will not be left behind.

In the past, he and the gentleman discussed exactly like this, since the accident was inevitable, it would be good to do the follow-up reassurance work.

Maybe when they welcome back the remains of these two astronauts, they will be able to use this opportunity to re-promote their culture of not giving up on every citizen.

Looking at Director Bill Nelson, whose face was constantly changing and hesitant, Bill Gerstenmeier opened his mouth to remind: "I have to remind you that it's not just about the safety of the two astronauts. ”

"Now that Huaguo has uncovered the accident, all-out rescue is the only route we can take now. If you choose to give up on them, the impact behind them will be beyond the reach of you and me, or even the White House. ”

After a pause, he took a deep breath and added: "What's more, Huaguo has proposed a rescue, and if we refuse, they will poke out this negotiation, and public opinion will be even more unbearable for us." ”

Hearing this, Bill Nelson's pupils suddenly contracted, and the whole person fell silent.

In the case of being able to rescue, if they choose to give up, it will be a fatal blow to the credibility of NASA and even the United States.

Giving up the life of an astronaut if it can be saved means that the authorities of the United States may give up the life of any citizen of the United States at any time.

As long as it is a civilized country, no person in power dares to do such a thing.
