Chapter 740 Bring Back the Game?

The press conference held by NASA was like a bomb thrown into a lake, which aroused strong repercussions internationally.

The BFR super rocket with a carrying capacity of 550 tons in low earth orbit!

The Ares program will launch in a month to send life support units to Mars!

You are no match for us!

Three pieces of information emerged from Director Carson's speech, and no matter which one it was, the North American media fell into a collective climax.

Many media such as the "New York Times" were still scolding NASA's inaction on the current affairs page some time ago, but now they turned their guns in an instant and sang for the Ares Project and Spcae-X hymn.

Aerospace is the future of the earth and the pride of Americans.

Cursing NASA's inaction is not because of hatred, but because of anger! Give away the advantages of half a century!

NASA, which has not made much progress until now, finally gave up. Americans who followed the progress of the Ares project naturally stopped cursing them, and happily presented them with flowers and applause.

Chinese landed on the moon?

Divide away our unique glory?

Sorry, that's what we left over from playing in the sixties, and now our goal is even more distant Mars!

It's a place where you can't even go to the detector!

After NASA's press conference, major new-generation high-tech aerospace companies such as Space-X and Blue Origin also held press conferences one after another, showing off their unique skills in the aerospace field.

For example, Musk's BFR super rocket, the BFS manned spacecraft under test. Another example is Blue Origin's BE-4 rocket engine and a powerful escape system.

In addition, many medical companies have also come out to join in the fun. For example, Johnson & Johnson announced that it is conducting a special project called "frozen slow-release agent", which aims to prevent cell fluid from freezing and puncturing under low temperature conditions. cell membrane.

The project is jointly supported by the U.S. Department of Health and NASA, and exists as a sub-project of the refrigerated hibernation chamber project jointly developed by NASA and SpaceWorks.

The market value of countless companies with aerospace concepts has been rising all the way, and the whole of North America seems to have fallen into a carnival. Countless people can't help but dream back to that night sixty years ago.

That year, Yuri Gagarin went into space aboard Vostok 1. And 7 years later, they left the Soviets far behind and set foot on the moon...

Just as the North American media reported overwhelmingly on the Ares project and cheered for NASA's move, the British media BBC also reported on NASA's press conference.

Compared with the frenzy of the North American media, the report of the British media BBC is relatively from an objective angle, or the angle of watching the excitement.

After all, this space race is an event between the United States and China, and has nothing to do with the United Kingdom, and even if they have the idea of ​​participating, the conditions do not allow it.

Contrary to the frenzy of the North American media, after the NASA press conference ended, the Chinese media was completely silent at the moment.

The document received by the official media was to promote manned landing on the moon and promote the spirit of hard work, but no one expected that such a thing would happen at this juncture.

Does this make people report truthfully? Or is it better to pretend you didn't see it?

If it is reported truthfully, it will undoubtedly cast a shadow over the national cohesion that has just been boosted by the successful manned moon landing. However, if you don't see it, it seems a bit too petty.

Or, add a line of fast-scrolling small words at the bottom of "Today's Question"?

In any case, this is not something that major TV stations and newspapers can decide.

Sure enough, it's better to ask the superior for instructions!

The mainstream media kept silent, but the new media naturally seized this opportunity and stood on the frontline of the propaganda front without any hesitation.

The United States will implement the first phase of the Ares program next month, and once the news spread that the life support unit will be sent to Mars, it immediately caused an uproar on the domestic Internet.

Until yesterday, many people were still indulging in the tenderness of the manned moon landing victory, but now they are awakened by a bell.

The manned moon landing here has just succeeded, and the other side has already started preparing to land on Mars.

After hearing this news, many people felt uncomfortable.

It is really not an easy task to defeat the veteran aerospace power.

Some people are sad, but others are happy. The leading party who had no place to stand because of the consecutive success of Xiangrui in manned spaceflight and manned moon landing, this time the climax was instantly climaxed.

The manned moon landing is awesome!

Lao Tzu's father is going to Mars.

In this pessimistic mood, a mood more terrifying than pessimism is spreading...

[Hey... Americans are already preparing to land on Mars, and we have just set foot on the moon. I thought we had already caught up with the United States, but I didn't expect it to be so far away. 】

[Where are those people who shouted about surpassing Britain and catching up with the United States some time ago? Why don't you call me? (Laugh) (Laugh)]

【I have said long ago that because of well-known reasons, it is not difficult to land on the moon. The reason why foreign countries do not go to the moon is because their goal is to land on Mars. So there is nothing to be proud of when the Xiangrui landed on the moon, we are still far away, let's get some sleep. (yawn) (yawn)]

[I know the ID upstairs, didn't you mean landing on the sun last time? (funny) (funny)]

【Hey, I'm envious... I signed up as a volunteer for the Ares Project. It is said that it is recruited globally, but I don't know if I can be selected. 】

【Where are those people who brag about God of Lu? Why don't you keep blowing? (Laugh) (Laugh)]

The heated discussions are not limited to scarves, as related topics reach the top of the hot searches, the popularity of topics quickly spread to other platforms.

For example, an anonymous netizen posted an article immediately after the news came out. From the academic environment to the technical level, he deeply analyzed the reasons why Huaguo "lost this space race"...

[The successful test flight of the BFR super rocket has shattered the dream of a large number of people of space power. With 42 Raptor engines, the vacuum thrust reaches 138 meganewtons, and can be reused more than a thousand times. Both in terms of thrust and low-Earth orbit delivery capability, it is more than an order of magnitude higher than that of the Xiangrui. 】

【Reality is the loudest slap in the face. Americans tell us with practical actions that chemical propulsion has never left the stage of history, and it will not be possible in the future. The liquid oxygen methane engine with a full-flow staged combustion cycle is still the preferred propulsion solution for interplanetary travel, and this solution is now mature and will be used to colonize Mars. 】

[In fact, we can think about a very simple question. If electric propulsion is good enough, why do Americans still insist on the technical route of chemical propulsion? It's not that they can't do it, it's that they don't think it's necessary. 】

[...Because of the arrogance of some people and the selfishness of those with vested interests, the Chang 5 rocket died on the blueprint before it was born. The future of the aerospace industry is locked in the tiny Earth-Moon system. 】

[You know, the idea of ​​overtaking on a curve is certainly a good idea, but technology cannot be tricked...]

After the article was published, it quickly received tens of thousands of likes, and was reposted on the bib and self-media with screenshots.

Although this article seems to be biased in the eyes of industry insiders, it quickly resonated with a large number of people in this pessimistic atmosphere because of its provocative words and subjective value orientation.

We are losing this race.

We who abandon chemical propulsion are losing our future.

Although Yankee's rocket will only be launched next month, many people are already feeling lost...
