Chapter 338 The Popularity of Contemporary Space Couples and the Legends of Space Couples from the Last Century
It takes about 90 minutes for a space station to orbit the Earth once. The Muyuan spacecraft orbits at a slightly lower altitude than the space station, but due to its speed, it also takes about 90 minutes to complete one orbit, with a difference of only two or three minutes.

In that case, the wooden kite would only be passing over the motherland for a few minutes, and Lu Yun specifically chose this time to propose with the ring.

All I wanted was to take some marriage proposal photos in space with the motherland's territory as the backdrop.

Even if Shu Chang doesn't take pictures of him and An Fangfei, he has to let Yu Xingchen take them.

Because this photo is so meaningful.

The first couple to propose in space!
The first couple to propose in space with the borders of their motherland as a backdrop!
Regardless of what the comments said, such as "Will you get married on the space station in the future?", Lu Yun has actually considered getting married in space.

Many celebrities have used it in places like Bali, Vienna, the Maldives, and cathedrals; it's all too tacky.

Many aerospace technicians choose to get married at space launch sites, and many naval personnel choose to hold their weddings on warships.

Lu Yun works in the aerospace industry, but not in the ordinary way, so it's perfectly reasonable for him to hold his wedding in space.

However, even if he and An Fangfei held their wedding in space, they could only be considered the first couple to hold a wedding in space, not the first couple to go into space.

The first married couple to go into space were American astronauts Jane Davis and Mark Lee, who went into space in 1992.

When they were first selected as astronauts, the couple were both single. They both completed the training courses perfectly and joined the crew of the Space Shuttle Endeavour with excellent results.

The arduous training brought the two closer, and Davis and Lee quickly became a sweet scientific couple. However, since their relationship developed during their work, neither of them wanted their feelings to affect the space mission, so they kept their romance very low-key.

The two men's initial intention was to devote themselves wholeheartedly to the preparations for spaceflight, but they gave NASA a shock instead.

As the mission drew closer, Davis and Lee decided to spend the rest of their lives together.

After they became legally married, NASA naturally learned of their relationship and was unsure what to do.

There has never been a case of a husband and wife completing a space mission together before.

Because spaceflight is a very precise and complex task, astronauts bear a heavy responsibility. They not only have to ensure the operation of the space shuttle, but also undertake tasks such as observation in outer space and research on the space station.

For example, Davis is a scientist with a doctoral degree who is in charge of many experiments in the Endeavour space laboratory.

Therefore, calmness, objectivity, and rationality are the most basic requirements for astronauts. When a husband and wife go into space together, it adds another layer of instability.

Moreover, early spaceflight was fundamentally a dangerous undertaking; each ascent into space was a test of life, and any unexpected event could result in a non-return.

There are numerous tragedies in space. The early Russian Soyuz spacecraft accident, caused by a decimal point error, resulted in the death of an astronaut, which shocked the world.

Actually, an earlier couple also went on a spaceflight together. It was the tragic Challenger space shuttle, which exploded one minute and thirteen seconds after liftoff, killing all the astronauts on board.

The unfortunate couple perished, leaving their young daughter homeless and an orphan. This was not only a tragedy in the history of space science but also a family catastrophe.

Since then, NASA has been particularly cautious about arranging missions for married astronauts.

Davis and Lee's previous secrecy and marriage were so sudden, especially since the Space Shuttle Endeavour was about to launch and the two were on research missions, making it difficult to switch partners at the last minute.

Davis and Lee repeatedly assured that they were astronauts who prioritized scientific research, were well aware of the dangers of spaceflight, and would not take any actions that would affect the mission.

Moreover, neither of them had any worries and were prepared to bear the consequences of their choices.

In the end, NASA gave them the green light and allowed the couple to board the spacecraft together.

Many colleagues joked that Davis and Lee were about to spend their "honeymoon" on the Endeavour, something unheard of at the time, making them the first couple to honeymoon in space.

Joking aside, space missions are very serious, and in fact, Davis and Lee had no time for emotional exchanges or anything else... communication. Due to weightlessness, it's not easy for humans to precisely control their body movements in space; moving a finger is manageable, but making any large movements is difficult.

Many space documentaries and science fiction movies have shown this: when astronauts are in a spacecraft, they can only float hand in hand at most, and it takes a lot of time and effort to hug each other.

In addition, the rooms in the spacecraft are not like rooms on Earth where you can lie down comfortably. The astronauts' beds are more like narrow wardrobes, and they need to be secured to the so-called "bed board" by a "sleeping bag" device.

Whether astronauts actually "lie down to sleep" is an unclear question, because the spacecraft is constantly orbiting in order to maintain stability, and astronauts have no concept of up or down.

It is almost impossible to engage in marital relations in a place where even using the toilet requires manual operation.

Moreover, they also have to complete multiple scientific research tasks in just seven days, so having time to look at the vast and boundless space together is romantic enough.

Unlike Lu Yun and An Fangfei, who went to space purely for tourism, they were not.

However, although there is no conclusive evidence, there are still rumors that they had marital relations in space and successfully conceived a child.

These are the legendary "space babies".

Legend has it that this space baby was not only the first child conceived in space in human history, but was also described as a unique being with superpowers.

However, if you really delve into this matter, you will find that the story first appeared in the 1993 novel "Space Baby" by American author Robert Anthony.

The novel depicts Mark Lee and Jane Davis having sex in space and successfully conceiving a space baby.

This space baby, due to the effects of special radiation and gravity in space, was endowed with superhuman intelligence, strength, and the ability to manipulate matter and energy.

The novel states that the Space Baby was secretly brought back to Earth by NASA for a series of studies and experiments, with the intention of using its superpowers to provide more possibilities and advantages for humanity's space exploration and subsequent development.

Lu Yun: “?”

Of course, that novel was a work of fiction from more than 20 years ago, but it has aroused the interest and curiosity of many people, and there have been various speculations and doubts over the years.

Some believe the novel may be based on real events and evidence, and that the author may have obtained internal NASA information and data through certain channels before creating and weaving the story to reveal NASA's secrets and conspiracies.

Others, however, believe the novel is pure fiction, and that the author may have used Mark Lee and Jane Davis's space voyage to create an absurd and bizarre story for the purpose of attracting readers and making a profit.

In the last two years, this speculation and doubt have taken on a new form.

Many people suspect that Lu Yun also possesses space-age superpowers.

Some people even suspect that Lu Yun is the couple's child.

Otherwise, how can we explain how Lu Yun, in his twenties, possessed such vast and sophisticated knowledge and achieved such great success?

Coincidentally, if Lee and Davis had conceived in space in 1992, their child would have been born in 1993, which is exactly the year Louise was born.

Of course, there were also those who opposed it.

"Dude, that couple is white, while Lu Yun is Asian. They're different races!"

"That proves it even more: he was mutated by space radiation, which altered his race!"
