Chapter 557 Return to the Moon and Manned Mars
Just when Huaxia held the commendation meeting for the manned moon landing, there was a conference room in the United States.

The relevant person in charge of NASA lowered his head in dejection, while an old man above was spouting wildly, belittling NASA as worthless.

"Tell me, gentlemen, tell me what you have done in the past 20 years!" The old man growled angrily: "China's 'Chang'e' spacecraft went to the moon, and they established the first scientific research station on the moon. At the test station, the "Chang'e" spacecraft "returned to the earth, they are holding a commendation meeting, and the whole world is carnival for China's moon landing feat, and what about you?What else can you do besides asking for funds? "

"When I was young, NASA had the ability to send astronauts to the moon with Apollo. They went there not only once, but six times. At that time, people cheered for NASA, and cheered for America! But now, in the past half This century, what else can NASA do?" The old man pointed at several NASA leaders and sprayed: "Don't think I don't know what you are doing, Musk's SpaceX, Jeff Bezos' Blue Origin, what else do I need to say? What? You NASA took the taxpayers money and handed over the launch mission to them, while you cocked your feet in the office!?"

After spraying the head of NASA, the old man said indifferently: "Now the whole United States is extremely disappointed with NASA, and you don't have to do it anymore!"

"Sir, did we hear correctly?" The chief person in charge of NASA shuddered all over, and the thing that frightened him finally happened.

"You heard me right, I regret to tell you that you have been fired, you will lose your jobs and become unemployed!" The old man showed disgust and waved his hand, and the guards took them out of the office.

Then the old man rubbed his head with some headaches. Originally, he wanted to make a big comeback and continue his ambition, but he found that although it was only four years ago, the situation was even worse. It was so bad that his previous strategies could no longer be used.

If I had known earlier, it would be better to be the world's number one internet celebrity, live broadcast and bring goods to become a world-class rich man.

"Damn idiot~~" The old man hated that bad old man who was four years older than himself. This old man who always said the wrong thing only took four years to increase the number of Latinos by 3000 million. Society has not improved but worsened.

However, the relevant person in charge of NASA has been dismissed, and the most important thing now is to re-appoint the relevant person in charge of NASA.

Then come up with a plan.

A few days later, several newly appointed NASA officials came to see the old man with a document and said, "Sir, according to our investigation and understanding at NASA, we actually still have a big lead in the aerospace field. Now we only need to speed up our own pace to maintain the lead without worrying about other challengers."

"Oh? How do you say it?" The old man suddenly became interested.

"According to the information we have obtained, NASA is now fully capable of carrying out manned landing on the moon, but we suggest that, while maintaining the 'return to the moon' plan to continue to advance, we should advance our frontlines to more distant directions, such as—— Mars! Sir, you should know that manning to Mars is much more difficult than manning to the moon. Once we manned to Mars, the influence will cover up all the previous disadvantages at once. China's Chang'e The move of the USS' spacecraft to the moon will also become insignificant." NASA's chief executive said passionately.

The moon is about 38 kilometers away from the earth, and Mars is 5400 million kilometers away from the earth, and the farthest is 4 million kilometers. Such a long distance, the probe needs to fly for about 7 months to reach Mars, and manned to Mars There is no doubt that the difficulty of landing on the moon is much higher than that of manned landing on the moon.

Once NASA achieves manned landing on Mars, there is no doubt that it will be a sensation. It is much more sensational than when Apollo carried astronauts to the moon. Naturally, it can also prove that NASA still has a huge advantage in the field of spaceflight. It is still the NO.1 in the global aerospace field!

"Moreover, sir, according to NASA's previous exploration of Mars, the diameter of Mars is 6779km, which is nearly twice that of the moon, half that of the earth, and the surface area is also equivalent to the land area of ​​the earth. The surface is finally equivalent to 0.4 times that of the earth. Mars is rich in Resources, the reserves of ilmenite resources are as high as 1500 trillion tons, the resources of rare earth elements are about 225 billion to 400 billion tons, and the reserves of phosphorus, potassium, thorium, uranium and other elements are also very rich!"

"The most important thing is that according to the detection data, scientists have discovered that there are huge water resources inside Mars, which resemble giant 'underground reservoirs'. It is completely possible to fetch water locally, and it is easier to build a lunar base, which is far more cost-effective than developing the moon!" said the chief executive of NASA.

"Then, when do you think manned missions to the moon will be possible, and how long will it take for manned missions to Mars?" The old man waved his hands and said impatiently.

If these people were not his confidants, he wouldn't even listen to their nonsense!

He only cares about when NASA will be able to manned to the moon and when will it be able to manned to Mars, this is a matter of votes!

Now that the whole world is watching NASA, the pressure is not small.

He kept withdrawing from the group and no longer being the leader of the group, not because he wanted to shrink his strength so that he could have money for his own changes.

As for the group leader, what is there to do? The current group members are all thugs. They always want to kill the group leader and become the group leader themselves, or they want the group leader to give out red envelopes and benefits all day long. The melon crowd quietly snatch red envelopes and enjoy the benefits from the group leader.

"Sir, we think we will be able to land manned on the moon this year and Mars next year, leaving our astronauts' footprints on the moon and on Mars!" said the chief executive of NASA, patting his chest.

"Caster, I want to tell you that I don't want to see the rocket become a ball of fire as soon as it is launched. What I want is 100% success! In this way, there is no need for manned moon landing this year, and NASA only needs to launch in December next year. If the manned landing on the moon is successful, then I will commend you and promote you to a more important position. As for the manned landing on Mars, it can be arranged five years later!" said the old man.

With that failed experience, he is no longer as impulsive as before. If it weren't for the Saturn V that exploded like fireworks when it first went up to the sky, allowing the whole world to enjoy the most expensive fireworks in history, how could he lose with a small number of votes? defeat.

He doesn't need any manned landing on Mars, he just needs to successfully manned the moon landing, so that he can sit firmly on the Diaoyutai, as immovable as a mountain, and no one can attack him.

As for the manned mission to Mars, there is no need. After 5 years, whether he is interested in sitting in this chair again is still a question mark.

A few days later, when Huaxia had just finished the May Day 7-day long holiday and started its first day of work and life after the holiday, a piece of news spread all over the world.

"Shocked! NASA announced that the 'return to the moon' plan is ready to enter the countdown. In December 2026, a rocket will be launched to carry astronauts back to the moon to match Armstrong's footprints! They announced that they will land on Mars in 12! "

In Narcissus City, an office in Yunxiao County, Qin Yuanqing was sitting on the sofa, enjoying a cup of green tea, while browsing the latest news hotspots, and happened to see this news.

"This should be the fifth time NASA has announced the news of 'returning to the moon' in the past five years, and the eighth time it has announced the manned landing on Mars?" Qin Yuanqing shook his head and smiled lightly.

"Return to the moon", NASA will announce it every once in a while, and the time is different every time, and I don't know the specific time.And the manned landing on Mars is the same, especially the manned landing on Mars, which is even more vigorous, such as open bidding all over the world, and global recruitment of astronauts.

In this regard, the whole world is probably numb, and I don’t know which time to use, or even understand, what happened to NASA, can this be announced casually, and what is the prestige in the future?

对于火星，NASA无疑是最了解的，在1964年的时候，NASA就成功发射了水手4号探测器到达火星，对火星展开探测，1969年发射了随手6号、水手7号，1971年发射了水手9号，再到1975年成功发射了海盗1号、海盗2号，1993年的火星观察者、1996年的火星全球勘测者、1997年的火星探路者、2001年的奥赛德、2003年的勇气号火星漫游车、机遇号火星探测车、2005年的火星勘测轨道飞行器、2007年的凤凰号火星极地探测器、2011年的好奇号火星车、2013年的火星大气与挥发演化探测器。

The Soviet Union and Russia launched probes to Mars 20 times, all 20 times failed, and other countries also ended in failure. NASA successfully launched 20 times out of 16 times to Mars, with a success rate as high as 80%. It can be seen that NASA has made great achievements in the exploration of Mars. achievement.

But when it comes to manned landing on Mars, this can only be a lie to laymen. Everyone knows that in order to achieve this step, NASA must launch a Mars probe, and the Mars probe must return safely, so that it can be preliminarily determined. Carry out manned landing on Mars.

Otherwise, manned landing on Mars would be a joke with the lives of the astronauts, and the danger is very high.

"It seems that the pressure on NASA has reached its limit, and I can't sit still!" Qin Yuanqing was thoughtful, but he smiled even more. He sincerely wished that NASA would be able to successfully land a man on the moon, or even land a man on Mars. success.

In this case, a large amount of funds will be used in aerospace engineering, and part of the funds for the "Helios" project should be cut off, preferably all funds will be cut off!
As for Huaxia, it is better to establish a scientific research station on the moon and plant crops on the moon. After more than ten years, the 'Double Ring Space Station' will officially dominate the space, so it will be fine!

As for Mars, whoever wants to go can go!
