I ask you to build tractors, but you build rockets?

There is no controversy in the deep space exploration of celestial bodies, which is temporarily limited to the asteroid belt, and it is considered a trivial matter at a relatively low cost.

What Lin Ju is more concerned about now is the moon landing, because in the early morning photos, the satellite captured the orange behemoth appearing at Cape Calaveral Air Force Base.

NACA did not give up, at least in their opinion they could finally take the lead.

Now the mission purpose of Artemis 2 is quite clear. Even if their mission is advanced, it is impossible for the lander to be advanced that far. This shows that NACA has long thought about the Artemis 2 mission. It was brought forward, but now it has been brought forward again.

Lin Ju gave these Yankees a thumbs up in his heart. After the original World Line's first flight of Artemis 1 in 2022, it failed to launch Artemis 2 in 2024, which was at least seven years ahead of schedule. NACA really Trying my best.

However, can the SLS, which has only been launched once in two and a half years, really be able to carry out a lunar landing mission immediately?

This was the purpose of calling Ye Changsi. Xiao Gangtian's appearance was purely accidental.

Putting aside the detector named after himself for the time being, Ye Changsi's thoughts got back on track:

“There are only a few problems with the Artemis 2 mission: launch, lunar orbit, moon landing, and return.

There shouldn’t be much of a problem in terms of launch. SLS’s rocket body technology is indeed mature, and the moon-orbit docking plan is complex, but it’s acceptable.

The most likely place for an accident to occur is during the moon landing phase; as for the return, even if there is a problem with the spacecraft, we can just stay at the space station and wait for rescue. In the worst case, we can still go there and pick people up. "

Lin Ju knocked on the table, "The moon landing is the key point, we have to be prepared."

Ye Changsi pulled up the ultra-high-definition still pictures of the moon taken by the Storm on his tablet and zoomed in all the way.

"Our landing site is in the highlands outside the Qom impact crater. The mission site of Artemis 2 should be within the range of the 'Isis' rover. If I were to choose, it should be on this plain, with a distance from 20 to It ranges from 100 kilometers, after all, it is a big place.

If they have an accident during their descent, they will definitely not be able to be saved. The same goes for their ascent. Only when their aircraft lands on the lunar surface and has an accident can they be rescued. Only considering this situation and the orbital conditions will it be possible to rescue them. Can. "

Xiao Okada: "Mr. Ye, what do you think is the probability of Artemis 2's success?"

"In the flight stage, I think there is an 80-90% chance that the Orion spacecraft is unlikely to have problems. It has been studied for almost ten years." Ye Changsi first made an "eight" gesture, and then changed the subject:

"But that lander is hard to say. The center of gravity is too high and it will definitely be difficult to control. Moreover, the plan was changed midway. The development time is even less than that of the Full Moon. I don't think it is reliable."

Lin Ju sighed: "Hey, there's no point in fighting us. Even if it succeeds, when the moon base starts construction, they will be far behind."

Ye Changsi: "You still have to chase them. It's not good to lie flat. You still have to give them motivation.

Especially for lunar mining, Wall Street will not miss this new concept stock. "

Speaking of lunar development - now some domestic media have quietly begun to publish some articles about the preciousness of rare earth resources and the vast market demand, building momentum for the future.

The country is not without experience in harvesting financial markets.

…

Big boss mansion.

One black man and three white men each put a hand on John's shoulder, and the latter closed his eyes and looked serious.

The flattering follower Pio also tried his best to look solemn and solemn, muttering together with those weirdos:

"We will praise you, Lord of hosts! You are the true and living God, the great and awesome God, the God who never changes from everlasting to everlasting..."

The ceremony ended about ten minutes later. John breathed a sigh of relief and felt much better. He said to the black man with satisfaction:

"Ralph, I feel great today."

Ralph quickly put his hands on his chest and saluted: "God bless his faithful people."

Ralph Drollinger, a former NBA player, has devoted himself entirely to the wizarding profession since 1996. He established 43 branches around the world to deceive and deceive the master.

What they are doing now is the ritual that the "Central Bible Study Group" who came here with John carries out regularly every Wednesday. The purpose is messy, but the process of transmitting the divine power from the Lord from several mages remains unchanged.

After feeling the ‘divine power’, John felt that the pressure in the past few days had been much less, and he trusted Ralph more:

"Priest, can you curse an object or a person?"

Ralph raised his head and closed his eyes and muttered a bunch of unintelligible words, then he kept his head up and slowly spoke:

"Of course you can, but it's very difficult and requires a lot of strength."

John immediately took out the picture of the Long March 10 Yaosan-3 rocket that he had just typed out from the fax machine. It also had the Weibo watermark of the Aviation Development Commission on it.

"Then please start now."

"..."

…

"Why don't you let me see the boss?"

Henry Alfred angrily pressed his cane on the floor and looked at Pio who was blocking the way with an evil look.

"Boss... is very busy now, please wait."

"I'm 94 years old, and I'm your predecessor. I'm here racking my brains on how to deal with two superpowers when you weren't even born young, and now I'm doing my Yankee duty and giving advice. , you have no right to stop me!"

Pio was really helpless. Henry, a living fossil of the Cold War, might even have a higher status than John, but he couldn't be allowed to see what was happening behind him!

If word gets out that the boss is trying to curse a rocket with witchcraft, it will be over!

"If you have any opinions, please tell me and I promise to convey them to you as soon as possible!"

Maybe he really didn't have the energy to bother anymore. Henry could only look at this inconspicuous state minister and said seriously:

"Don't advance the Artemis 2 mission. We are not an alliance. Even if we are not number one, we will not lag behind for long. The cost of killing an astronaut is worse than anyone imagined!"

It's right to reshor manufacturing, but don't think of it as an adjunct to the space race. You're going in the right direction. "

Pio reluctantly listened carefully, then nodded desperately, and finally sent old Henry out, and then wiped the sweat from his forehead.

Advice from your ex? If John really listened, wouldn't it mean that my current position is not as useful as my predecessor?

He continued to guard outside the lawn with the beautiful intern, guarding against anyone who might disturb the witchcraft ceremony, demonstrating his loyalty.

At this time, on another continent, Ah Hong, whose beard reached half the length of his robe, recited a prayer devoutly for half a minute, then glanced at the alarm clock, turned outside the house in time, and conveyed his request to Sheila who happened to be passing by. 'space station.

The ceremony that lasted for three hours was finally completed. Ah Hong breathed a long sigh of relief and said to the people from the Arbor Space Agency with determination:

“Allah has brought blessings to the eastern skies and ravens to the western skies, and His will will be done without rival.”

"Thank God, we will expand the temple as promised."
