Reborn in 2010, the AI in my mind is too powerful.
Chapter 356 Exaggerated Global Reactions
The first recovery of Falcon 9, with its sci-fi movie-like recovery scene, was destined to cause a sensation.
NASA immediately sent its congratulations via Twitter, wishing SpaceX, a subsidiary of Aurora Group, success in achieving the first rocket recovery on Earth.
A brigadier general at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station also issued a statement on behalf of the military, congratulating the launch.
Musk took a selfie next to the rocket and then tweeted, "Welcome back, baby."
At the subsequent press conference, he explained in detail Aurora SpaceX's latest Starlink project, which will complement its launch technology.
At SpaceX headquarters in Hawthorne, California, hundreds of employees cheered as they witnessed the first successful rocket recovery. Some of them, their blood boiling, began shouting "USAUSA!"
But they quickly realized that their current boss wasn't American.
They quickly changed their tune and started holding up pictures of preserved eggs and shouting, "Pepsi, pepsi, pepsi!"
After the video was posted online, Pepsi quickly claimed responsibility and announced that it would provide SpaceX with all its beverages for the next year free of charge.
Coca-Cola couldn't stand it anymore, so they quickly released countless photos to promote Chen Yiran as a staunch Coca-Cola supporter, saying that Coca-Cola was willing to provide SpaceX with free drinks permanently, and ultimately take Coca-Cola to space.
The next day, the whole world was talking about it.
Reuters commented that this launch marked a turning point in history.
ABC News believes this launch has opened a new door to space travel.
The New York Times focused on the sensory experience of Florida residents at the scene, who said the rocket landed very gently.
Even Chinese news outlets are filled with related reports. China News Service reported that SpaceX, the company owned by Chinese entrepreneur Chen Yiran's Aurora Group, has achieved the first-ever rocket recovery in human history. There has never been a precedent for the first stage of a rocket being recovered and reused.
Many veteran aerospace professionals have been brought out for interviews and have begun to comment on the launch.
Most people were excited, feeling that another space frenzy was finally coming. Since the end of the Soviet Union, the American aerospace field hadn't been this lively for a long time, and this much attention would inevitably lead to large-scale development.
The capital market reacted swiftly; the next day, stocks in all related industries surged, dragging up the entire sector. This then spread to the military industry, and due to Chen Yiran's influence, the semiconductor sector experienced another round of gains. Stock markets worldwide began to overheat.
Of course, there are also many differing opinions. The aerospace industry, adhering to the principle that any technology it doesn't possess is bad technology, has begun to question whether reusability has even been achieved, since these questions haven't been answered by restarting the launch. They've also started to question whether reusability places excessively high demands on rockets, potentially increasing costs.
Several direct competitors became even more anxious, jumping up and down and starting to criticize SpaceX's technology as heresy.
Chinese internet users have been saying that Chinese media coverage of SpaceX is biased, but if they had seen European reports, they would know what true bias is. For a long time, SpaceX has been portrayed as a devilish company.
Arianespace of Europe is the undisputed king of the commercial launch market, with annual revenue of nearly two billion US dollars and a staggering 6% share of commercial GEO (geostationary orbit) rocket launches.
Their main adversary, Russia, had just experienced a major crisis in 2013 when a Proton-M rocket launched from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan lost attitude control in less than a minute, tilted severely, and crashed 2.5 kilometers from the launch pad before exploding and disintegrating.
The economic losses from this launch are estimated at at least $200 million, with some reports suggesting the loss of nearly $1 billion worth of equipment. Furthermore, the rocket carried 600 tons of toxic heptyl fuel. The explosion triggered a violent fire, forcing local residents to close their doors and windows to protect themselves from the toxic cloud, causing significant damage.
In 2014, Russia and Ukraine were embroiled in another conflict, with the Crimean conflict becoming particularly severe and having serious political repercussions. Russia appeared poised to cause trouble.
Arianespace was already celebrating its dominance of the launch market when SpaceX emerged from the shadows.
In an interview, Arianespace executives expressed doubts about SpaceX's technology, but subsequently began preparing to reduce costs and increase efficiency in an attempt to lower costs and prepare for a price war.
Chen Yiran didn't care much about any of that; SpaceX's own Starlink was enough to feed him. And in terms of cost, no one could compare to reusable rockets.
With Musk in charge, Starlink is bound to succeed, and he will then have the opportunity to maintain a global presence.
He returned to Lanai Island, where in the spherical laboratory he met with the next key figure: an elderly yet exceptionally powerful super research team.
