Chapter 269 Their pattern is too small(1/3)
After all, it is a country with a history of more than 60 years of development in the field of aviation technology. In addition, it is the first official cooperation with a private company, which ensures the safety of this flight mission.
Several astronauts took the Orion spacecraft to reach the near-lunar orbit, and then successfully landed on a predetermined area on the lunar surface with the help of the lunar module, and successfully completed the astronauts' extravehicular exploration mission. After so many years, human footprints appeared on the lunar soil again.
The meaning it represents is also very profound and worthy of commemoration.
When the footage of the moon landing was transmitted back to the ground control center, everyone finally felt relaxed.
There was a burst of warm applause in the hall.
Even General Tripp sent a video call to express his condolences.
Dali Rover Island.
La Jor Space Force Base.
In the control center hall, after a few days, no one showed any signs of fatigue on their faces.
Some are just excited and excited.
Of course, this does not mean that they rest well. After all, they are under so much pressure and need to always pay attention to the astronauts' situation in the sky, so how can they rest well?
At the moment, I just saw the astronauts successfully landed on the moon. The strong excitement and excitement temporarily suppressed the fatigue and sleepiness.
Hayden, who had also not slept for a long time, suddenly felt relieved: "It's so great, we set foot on the moon again."
"Next, the astronauts will complete their mission and explore the resources on the lunar surface." Marsen, who was next to him, did not give up showing his presence at this time. He took over the conversation and added: "This will be very important for our subsequent construction of the moon.
The base will be a big help too.”
Perhaps he was temporarily dazzled by the joy in front of him, and suddenly Hayden didn't think the space elevator was that powerful.
All previous worries are gone.
"I think given the current level of science and technology, it is more advantageous to develop launch vehicles."
"Now that we can easily land on the moon, we will soon build a permanent lunar base. On the other hand, Yanfang insists on building a space elevator, but so far there has been no breakthrough."
"It's just that building artificial islands is more powerful, but what's the use?"
The whole person talked with a sense of pointing out the country.
Completely immersed in your own world.
At this time, Marsne must follow Hayden's remarks. After all, his space exploration technology company still relies on NASA's lunar base project for development.
"What Chief Hayden said is right, I can't wait to see the scene when the cable of their space elevator breaks." At some point, Marsne had two glasses of red wine in his hand, and he handed it to Hayden as he spoke.
The next second.
Suddenly, Tripp's figure suddenly appeared on the screen.
Judging from the background, he should be sitting in his office, communicating via video link.
"Congratulations on completing your mission to the moon."
As Tripp on the screen took the initiative to greet everyone, the sense of honor in the entire command hall became stronger.
Hayden and Marsne naturally did not hesitate about this, and immediately expressed their determination.
"Thank you, Commander-in-Chief, for your concern. It is our duty as astronauts to ensure the smooth progress of the moon landing program."
"Soon we will carry out a new launch mission, and will carry the lunar base module to try to build a base for habitation. I believe that the first country to build a permanent base on the moon will definitely be us."
After the astronauts arrive on the lunar surface and complete the mission inspection, they still need to ride the lunar module back to the Orion spacecraft in orbit, which also requires the scheduling and cooperation of the ground command center.
Mainly, this time it is a return to the moon after decades, which is equivalent to getting familiar with the journey, and it does not carry the relevant modules for building a lunar base.
Naturally, it cannot stay on the lunar surface for a long time.
So Tripp ended the call after briefly expressing concern for the personnel within the space agency.
Didn't occupy it for too long.
at the same time.
The palace that symbolizes the highest power in Washington.
In the Consul General's office, Tripp looked away from the phone device and was in a much better mood than he had been some time ago.
At present, our own manned moon landing project is proceeding smoothly. As long as we can complete the construction of the lunar base, we can transport more astronauts to the base to participate in the mining of lunar resources.
Until he completes the most important step in his plan, building a super-large laser weapon.
Once they have the powerful ability to carry out high-altitude precision strikes against Earth and stars, they will no longer have to worry about anything.
Even if the development of science and technology in the future is fierce and a number of miraculous technologies are created, it will still not affect their right to speak in the world.
Because the laser weapons that attack from the moon cannot be intercepted or intervened in advance by the military capabilities on the ground, it is not wrong to say that they are a trump card.
However, in order to achieve these, the most important point is the failure of the future technology space elevator project.
Otherwise, no matter how much you say, it will be empty talk.
"Future Technology is really a nasty guy, but this time you are destined to fail."
"Since the space elevator has been abandoned by the scientific community, it proves that it has problems and cannot be manufactured at all."
Sitting in his seat, Tripp couldn't help but murmur to himself as his thoughts surged: "I want to see how you end up when the cable breaks on the day when the space elevator is officially put into operation."
Yes.
Ever since Future Technology started the live broadcast that day and Hayden came over to report the situation to him, he became more and more convinced that the space elevator may look good now, but problems will arise sooner or later.
The cause of the disease is on this cable.
He believes that even if technology can complete the construction of ground stations and near-Earth space ports in the future, it will not be able to develop cables that can maintain the long-term operation of space elevators.
As long as the cable is broken, not only will the space elevator become useless and unable to operate, but it will also cause very large losses. Even the subsequent maintenance costs will be huge, and its cost is not necessarily cheaper than the launch vehicle.
So in this case, Yanfang has mastered the space elevator, and I am afraid that the speed of building the moon base will not be as fast as theirs.
In all likelihood, the second set of plans he prepared will not be used.
For Tripp, he is even looking forward to the future technology of the space elevator being built and put into use as soon as possible. He believes that the scene caused by the cable break will definitely be very spectacular.

…
The news of re-landing on the moon is very popular on the Internet, and major media and news magazines have reported on it.
But in the end, only a few pictures were circulated.
I can't help but feel disappointed.
Based on their technical level, there is absolutely no problem in video recording the astronauts' actions on the lunar surface, but they have to hide it.
Afraid of being seen by others.
Full of a small-minded temperament.
Because this moon landing was a return to the moon after many years, major media reported it on the eve of the launch of the rocket, which aroused the interest of the audience and wanted to see the scene of humans setting foot on the moon to satisfy their hearts.
of that longing.
As a result, I ended up with just a few pictures, which is definitely not satisfying.
I always feel like I've been cheated.
This situation is like buying an item online that looks very good, but actually looks very different after receiving it.
Especially when people came to the platform accounts of NASA and Mars to request more footage of the moon landing, they were refused by the officials on the grounds of preventing the leakage of core secrets.
Everyone's emotions were mobilized again, but this time it was negative.
Because in the audience's perception, the so-called core technology will not be leaked through a simple picture of the moon's surface. Moreover, if the technology is advanced enough, I am afraid that even if the design drawings are taken out, others will not be able to reproduce it.
As things gradually escalated, many people turned their attention to the space elevator of future technology.
I believe that since future technology can enable 24/7 real-time live broadcast, we will not be too stingy if we actually reach the moon, and will publish relevant videos no matter what.
Although many of them had previously belittled the space elevator and threatened that such a project would be impossible to realize, this did not prevent them from leaving an idea behind, after all, what if it succeeded.
This series of reactions from overseas audiences was ridiculed by domestic netizens.
At the same time, everyone is placing more hope on the space elevator.
I hope the space elevator can truly succeed and slap overseas aerospace technology in the face.
Almost within a few days after Marsen and his colleagues released the moon landing pictures, relevant comments from netizens could be seen on any website platform in China with active users.
"I'm a bastard. I was originally looking forward to the overseas moon landing. Although it has nothing to do with us, I have a special feeling for the moon in my heart. But in the end, I was asked to see a few pictures.
Pictures of footprints, this is too bad."
"Whoever says otherwise can only say that their structure is too small."
"If we want to see a moon landing, we still have to hope that we can do it ourselves. As long as the space elevator with future technology is developed, the moon landing will be a casual matter."
"The arrogance overseas I have seen in the past two days almost makes me mad. I hope Mr. Xu will quickly bring out the space elevator and slap them in the face."
“Future technology must be supported.”
"Don't worry, everyone, those people on the external network are also waiting for our space elevator to be completed as soon as possible."
