This star is going to the moon

Chapter 347 Starry Sky and Ideals, Defected Agent!
"Mr. Sun, how are you feeling? Is there anything bothering you?"

Inside the cabin of the Wooden Kite, Chen Quan, who had floated over to unfasten Academician Sun's seatbelt, asked...

He couldn't help but care, after all, Academician Sun was already 91 years old!

"Haha, Xiao Chen, I'm doing great! In your astronauts' words, I'm 'feeling good,' and I feel extremely good!"

Academician Sun watched with a smile as Chen Quan unbuckled his seatbelt. After unbuckled, he moved slightly and involuntarily felt like he was floating up to the "ceiling".

Seeing this, Chen Quan quickly grabbed Academician Sun and helped him hold onto the handle.

As an astronaut who has already been to space once, Chen Quan's main task this time is to escort Academician Sun on his space journey.

As for the other four people, two astronaut trainees and two corporate passengers, they were given a one-to-one simulation of future commercial space tourism cabin crew services.

As Academician Sun felt the lightness of his body freed from the constraints of gravity, and looked at the ever-changing scenery of the earth outside the porthole, he couldn't help but feel amazed.

On Earth, his 91-year-old body could no longer fully resist the Earth's gravity. His muscles had atrophied significantly, and his bones were no longer as strong as they had been in his youth, requiring him to walk with great care.

There's no way around it; Earth's gravity is simply too much for a 91-year-old.

But once in space, freed from Earth's gravity, Academician Sun felt an unprecedented sense of ease.

Feeling Chen Quan helping him control his body, Academician Sun also tried to control himself and laughed, "I met you when you first joined the astronaut team. More than 20 years have passed in the blink of an eye. I never thought that the two of us would be able to travel to space."

"I've seen satellite images of Earth, as well as images taken by foreign astronauts. Later, I also saw images of Earth taken by our own astronauts. I've also talked with astronauts who have been to space, and they always say that people's thinking changes when they go into space."

"I was skeptical at first, but now that I'm actually in space, I believe them."

As he spoke, he looked out the window at the beautiful Earth and the vast starry sky: "Before the Muyuan took off, I felt that being able to ride in our country's world-leading space shuttle to see the Earth from space would make my life worthwhile."

"But when I actually got to space and saw our beautiful yet fragile home, I felt that wasn't enough, that the scope wasn't big enough. So I also want to see our people land on the moon, and even on Mars!"

"After all, the saying that 'the future of mankind is the stars and the sea' is not just empty talk."

Chen Quan also looked at the Earth outside: "Yes, Mr. Sun, I was also shocked by its magnificence when I first entered space, and then I thought a lot about it."

"At first, watching my comrades go on space missions one by one, while I could only be a substitute, I was actually..."

While two older people were chatting while looking at the Earth, four other relatively younger people were also marveling at the awe-inspiring Earth and the magnificence of the starry sky.

"It's so beautiful!"

"That's right, switching jobs to this company was definitely the right decision."

"Haha, who can disagree? When Boss Lu was recruiting, I came without any hesitation, otherwise I would have really missed out."

"really……"

Simon didn't express any particular sentiment, but simply responded with a casual reply, as his entire attention was focused on the Earth and the starry sky outside the porthole.

The human eye is amazing; what appears as a completely black starry sky in a camera photograph is incredibly dazzling to the human eye!
The dazzling colors were indescribable, far surpassing the "sparkling" specks seen on the ground.

To use a Chinese idiom that Simon learned, it would be quite—shocking!
Looking back at Earth, it presents yet another kind of beautiful scenery.

The boundaries of continents and oceans, invisible from the ground, are visible from space. The vast desert that has swallowed countless adventurers appears as just a "small patch" from space.

The view from space is so vast that you can't see the borders of countries on Earth, but he could still clearly see the Middle East.

Because he had a friend who went there to participate in the so-called "war to defend freedom" and died there.

In the Federation, many people don't know what Earth looks like, and they can't even find the Federation on a world map.

If they knew where the Federation was on the world map, they would realize that the wars the Federation fought to "defend freedom" had nothing to do with the Federation.

Because those places are tens of thousands of kilometers away from the Federation!
When the wooden kite passed over Laos and China, everyone started taking pictures. He also pretended to be happy and asked Dong Chen to take a picture of him with the Lao-Chinese border.

But when Dong Chen handed him the phone with the photo, he noticed that Simon was smiling so happily in the picture.

His heart skipped a beat.

Because he knew that the joy radiating from Simon's smile in the photo was genuine.

Simon thought about his mission, Lu Yun's charming words of advice, and the political ideology, pragmatism, dialectical methodology, and scientific outlook on development that he had learned in the astronaut course.

That's right. Although Blue Star Aerospace Company is not an official organization, it is still training astronauts, so these things are definitely indispensable.

This also led Simon to have some strange thoughts.

In fact, he suffered from the West's information blockade. If he knew that there was an "old saying" in the West that had been circulating for decades, then he wouldn't be surprised.

"Intelligent people are better off avoiding contact with 'red' ideology, because that would make them 'red' themselves!"

This incident is also documented in the "Cambridge Three" and "MI6's One-Way Transparency to the KGB" incidents.

For details, please see the video by Renjun Mouhao from Tongliao.

Simon's ability to become a top agent and an astronaut clearly demonstrates that he is a smart man.

Of course, that statement was actually applied decades ago when the international communist movement was flourishing. When the Soviet Union collapsed, many people's thinking also collapsed.

However, with the strong development of these older generations, some aspects have been reinstated.

However, it's unclear how many people can clearly recognize this point.

After Simon and his group finished taking photos with the Chinese and had seen enough of the scenery, it was time for dinner.

Inside the cabin, the three commercial astronauts and three passengers began a rehearsal according to the pre-arranged plan.

On the American side, the action team was full of praise for Simon's performance during the live broadcast.

"As expected of an elite agent, look at Simon's expression, it's just like the real thing!"

"Indeed, if I didn't know he was one of our elite agents, I would have thought he genuinely loved space, haha."

"Bluestar Aerospace's various live streams are really good, allowing us to keep track of Simon's mission progress in real time..."
