Chapter 783 The Return to the Moon Program is Underway

Bald Eagle Federation.

SpaceX's launch center.

A heavy-lift Falcon rocket stands proudly, like a divine sword pointing towards the sky.

Today marks the launch of the Bald Eagle Federation's return-to-the-moon program.

The two rockets will be launched simultaneously.

The powerful thrust of cargo spacecraft can send landing modules, equipment, and supplies into space.

The Falcon rocket can send astronaut Mary into space.

As a global superpower, it certainly possesses a strong technological foundation.

This time, the docking will take place in space.

Using the space station as a transit point, astronauts can pilot spacecraft and landing modules to the moon for landing.

This is safer than taking off directly from the ground, orbiting the moon in space, and finally landing.

Inside the launch center command room.

Madier looked at the rocket on the big screen with a face full of confidence.

SpaceX's rapid development is also due to the support of NASA.

Without NASA's large orders, SpaceX could never have grown so rapidly.

"Masla, if we get serious, China's space achievements will become a joke."

"They've been catching up with decades of achievements, but it's just technology that we've already fallen behind in."

"Now, let us once again demonstrate the powerful technological prowess of the Bald Eagle Federation to the world."

As a veteran white elite, Madier still has a deep affection for the Bald Eagle Federation.

He knew that the stronger the Bald Eagle Federation became, the more and greater the benefits he, as an elite member of the Bald Eagle Federation, could obtain.

Masla sat next to Madil, glanced at Madil's confident face, pondered for a moment, and then said, "Madil, it's too early to say anything. The rocket hasn't been launched yet; anything is possible!"

As a businessman, Masla values ​​profit above all else.

If it weren't for the fact that SpaceX and NASA couldn't be separated, and that there was a huge order this time, he would never have gotten involved.

"Don't you have enough confidence in your own space company?"

"Do you think this plan will fail?"

"Don't forget, the slogan you shouted at SPACE was to develop Mars."

"As a result, SpaceX has never even been to the moon. How can it convince investors that it can go to Mars and develop a colony?"

"So, from any perspective, this month is not only my task, but also something you must accomplish."

"To paraphrase a Chinese saying, we are on the same page regarding this matter."

Madil was immediately questioned after Masla poured cold water on his enthusiasm.

Masla didn't want to cause trouble with Madil, so he just shrugged and said softly, "I didn't mean that. I was just acting on a businessman's instinct, worrying about the risks."

"Indeed, this time it was very sudden and rushed, but with our technology, there is absolutely no reason to be afraid of these things."

"I believe that with God's blessing, this mission will be a complete success!"

Masla immediately chimed in, saying, "May God bless you and may everything go well!"

Masla could also understand and grasp the significance of this.

Earth's resources are limited and certainly not as abundant as those of the vast and boundless universe.

As human civilization develops, it will inevitably turn its attention to other planets.

Although current technology may not be able to achieve it, opportunities will not fall from the sky if you don't prepare in advance.

Just like the Age of Exploration, without prior exploration and an adventurous spirit, one cannot reap the greatest benefits.

Based on the lunar information already detected, the moon possesses extremely rich helium-3 resources. This resource can be used to manufacture nuclear fusion reactors, producing clean energy, which is of immense value to humanity.

One of the reasons the United States reacted so strongly after learning of China's moon landing was this.

China's construction speed is world-renowned.

If China really decides to use helium-3 on the moon to build a nuclear fusion reactor, it will definitely not be good news for the Bald Eagle Federation.

Even if they don't use Helium-3 to build a nuclear fusion reactor, simply establishing a foothold on the moon and building a lunar base is still not good news for them.

However, these things don't have much to do with Masla.

At the very least, he only has a cooperative relationship with NASA.

Whether he succeeds or fails, the main responsibility does not lie with him.

The launch point arrived quickly.

With a command given, the Falcon Heavy rocket ignited and lifted off.

A tremendous roar, accompanied by enormous flames, shot into the sky.

Whether it was the people of the Bald Eagle Federation visiting from afar or the media reporters on the scene, they all recorded this important moment.

Because this is not a simple rocket launch.

There is also a female astronaut on board who will be landing on the moon.

Decades later, the Bald Eagle Federation has returned to the moon once again.

Together with the Chinese astronauts who were still on the moon at that time, there was a strong sense of mission and destiny.

Two of the world's leading powers simultaneously conducted lunar landings in a short period of time.

If all goes well, we might even be able to meet on the moon.

If one succeeds and the other fails, the unsuccessful one will become a stepping stone, and the winner takes all.

Upon realizing this, everyone who knew about it became incredibly excited.

The rocket launch itself is not a problem.

Both the Falcon Heavy rocket and NASA's heavy cargo rocket successfully launched and entered space.

This alone has made many netizens who admire the Bald Eagle Federation extremely excited.

"Next, we will witness history once again!"

"It has to be the Bald Eagle, that's so domineering. They say they'll return to the moon and they do it, just like going back to their hometown!"

"Look at the world, then look at us, there's nothing more to say."

"I'm afraid some people will pretend to be deaf and dumb, and dare not admit that there is a gap when there is one."

"If the Bald Eagle Federation also successfully lands on the moon, wouldn't that mean there would be astronauts from two different countries on the moon?"

"That's certainly exciting. It would be even cooler if we could have a historic meeting."

"By the way, how long will Wang Donglai stay on the moon this time?"

"People used to always say that the Bald Eagle Federation had Masla, but now no one should say that anymore. Masla and Cook are not comparable to Wang Donglai at all."

"I just checked the official website of the space program, and it seems there is no information about how long Wang Donglai will stay on the moon this time."

"Go to GalaxySpace's official website and I found it. It is estimated that they will stay on the moon for ten to twenty days."

"Holy crap, that's so cool! Staying on the moon for this long!" "They've only been on the moon for three days, does that mean they'll be staying for at least seven days, and at most twenty?"

According to GalaxySpace's official website, this was their first landing, aimed at conducting on-site testing of the lunar environment and resources such as minerals, in preparation for establishing a lunar base. Going forward, they will gradually extend the astronauts' stay, expand the astronaut corps, and lower the requirements for astronauts, allowing more people to go to the moon to build a lunar base.

"I wonder if Galaxy Astronauts will need civil engineers for infrastructure projects. That's definitely our forte!"

"You know what, it's actually possible. Sending you civil engineers to the moon to build bases, houses, and roads for everyone."

"When will we get to see this? It's going to be another 'lifetime' series."

"I don't think that's necessarily true. With GalaxySpace's R&D capabilities, they might be able to complete it within ten years!"

Various discussions have begun on the Chinese internet.

In fact, discussions like this are not uncommon.

There are wild and unfounded ramblings, as well as analyses and explorations from professionals' perspectives.

From the perspective of increasing public interest in aerospace, it has definitely exceeded expectations.

As for attracting investment, although no major companies have made any public announcements, many entrepreneurs are still tempted.

Even though commercial spaceflight isn't profitable right now, the prestige of spaceflight is undeniable.

In addition, such a huge amount of traffic is enough to make up for the initial investment.

In addition, it also has great benefits for brand enhancement.

Just look at Galaxy Aerospace; with this successful lunar landing, all of Galaxy Technology's products have gained massive attention.

Offline businesses such as Xinghuo Express and Pinhaofan have seen explosive growth.

The number of online users and registered users on Douyin, Toutiao, and PinYiDao also saw a rapid increase.

These software programs have long passed the stage of rapid user growth, and their customer acquisition costs have increased significantly.

However, this has now led to a rapid increase, which is clearly due to the news of the successful moon landing.

Time just passed.

Mary is an outstanding astronaut at NASA.

He has extensive experience and outstanding achievements in performing missions on the space station.

This time, the Bald Eagle Federation launched its return-to-the-moon program, and she was the first astronaut selected.

She knew that the biggest reason she was chosen was because of her gender.

Because the country across the ocean has completed a moon landing, the Bald Eagle Federation is in such a hurry to attempt another moon landing.

She was well aware that such a rushed moon landing wouldn't have a high success rate.

In fact, the possibility of failure is quite high.

However, she had no choice.

Before she even gets on the rocket for this moon landing, $100,000 will be deposited into her account.

If she successfully lands on the moon and returns to Earth, she will receive a reward of $200,000.

Even if she fails, she has substantial commercial insurance coverage, and her child could receive over a million dollars in compensation.

Sometimes, she wonders if she should fail in order to get the insurance to take effect.

This dangerous thought only flashed through Mary's mind for a moment before she quickly dismissed it.

Doing this is not only too dangerous, but it could also easily lead to an accident.

The safest option is to secure the $300,000 reward without any problems.

With this mindset in mind, Mary remained vigilant after entering space to ensure that no problems arose that could lead to mission failure.

After docking with the space station, the spacecraft will orbit the moon before landing.

Each step looks simple, but it is actually very difficult to do.

Fortunately, Mary's experience allowed her to successfully complete the docking mission.

Inside the cramped space station, Mary spent a day making preparations, including but not limited to various checks on the spacecraft's condition.

After confirming that everything was in order, Mary contacted the ground command center.

"Sir, everything is going smoothly on the space station, and the spacecraft is operating normally!"

Madil, inside the command center, smiled with satisfaction upon hearing Mary's report.

In fact, as the head of NASA, he doesn't need to be here at all; he would know about any news immediately.

However, this mission was of such great significance that failure was not an option, so he had no choice but to stay here.

Now, let's hear Mary's report.

This means that a lunar orbit flight will be conducted soon, and within two days at most, a lunar landing attempt can be made.

If you're going to be a bit more aggressive, it won't even take two days; one day is enough.

With that thought in mind, Madier spoke up, "This is the command center, I am Madier."

"I am now issuing this order to you as the commander-in-chief of the return-to-the-moon program: the lunar landing program is officially beginning!"

Madir's command was transformed from sound waves into electromagnetic signals and then transmitted into space.

The Bald Eagle Federation doesn't have any quantum communication technology, so communication is delayed.

In other words, the communication between Madier and Mary was not synchronized.

Mary had a certain degree of autonomy in deciding the timing of the moon landing.

Upon receiving Madier's order, Mary took a deep breath, her spirits lifted.

Once she left the space station and boarded the spaceship, she had no other choice.

I checked the status of the spacesuit and spacecraft, as well as all the data information, again.

Mary slowly operated the instruments, connecting the space station and the spacecraft.

An hour later, the two successfully docked, and Mary, wearing a spacesuit, stepped from the space station onto the Orion spacecraft through the narrow connecting passage.

Mary breathed a long sigh of relief when she arrived at the Orion spaceship.

After a short rest, Mary turned on a device installed inside the spaceship.

Besides her gender, another reason for selecting her as an astronaut was the extra space and payload capacity of the spacecraft, which could accommodate more equipment.

In particular, a live streaming device with a specially enhanced signal transmission capability.

Since China dared to conduct live broadcasts of its space program, the United States, as the world's superpower, naturally wouldn't be intimidated and immediately made arrangements accordingly.

After all, it had been decades since their last successful moon landing.

Now, a large number of voices online are questioning their successful moon landing.

However, for reasons that cannot be spoken of, they cannot explain this to the public.

Now, using a live broadcast to vindicate them and restore their status as world superpowers is the perfect opportunity.

Just as Mary started her live stream, the ground team had already made preparations.

Upon receiving the signal, they immediately launched a large-scale publicity campaign with great momentum.
