In the 1960s and 1970s, the world's two superpowers launched a protracted race in space.

In the end, Yingjiang, which had a more developed economy, barely won this competition.

The price is excessive expenditure every year.

This space race, to some extent, has also brought down the already unhealthy economy of Mao Xiong.

"We once defeated those idiots in the moon landing competition, and now we can also defeat those Dragon Kingdom people in the space race!"

In a TV interview program, Haywood, the administrator of NASA, said impassionedly.

The Chang'e-1 moon landing experiment more than a month ago caused a huge sensation around the world.

This is the first time in human history that the location of the moon's poles has been clearly found, and there is definite evidence that there is a large amount of water ice.

Judging from the data samples collected by the Lunar Material Detection Satellite, the water resources reserves in the polar regions of the moon far exceed everyone's previous estimates.

"Forty years ago we were able to go to the moon."

During the interview program, Heywood faced the cheers of the audience and said:

"Today, forty years later, we will return to the moon!"

Heywood's words undoubtedly gave everyone present a dose of chicken blood.

Thunderous applause erupted from the audience.

Among the audience present, many people who were born before the 1960s can still remember that very unforgettable time.

At that time, almost all factories and scientific research units across the country were making way for the moon landing plan.

Endless supplies and money were consumed on this project.

In the end, he landed several times on the moon, a satellite hundreds of thousands of kilometers away from mankind!

If it weren't for the Dragon Kingdom's Chang'e-1 moon landing experiment, it would have given them a huge impact.

NASA's plan to return to the moon may not be released for many years!

"We once used the Hercules rocket to send batches of astronauts to the moon."

Haywood paced the stage while delivering his impassioned speech.

“Today, we can still do it!”

"The people of the Dragon Kingdom are far behind us in terms of moon landing technology!"

"They are just repeating what we did fifty years ago!"

"Even if we give them ten years, it will still be difficult for them to catch up with us!"

The main purpose of Heywood's participation in this show is to let everyone know that even if Longguo has completed the Chang'e-1 project.

But compared to them, Longguo's technical level is still not worth mentioning!

"Then when do you think we can return to the moon?!"

The beautiful blonde host crossed her legs and approached Heywood and asked.

"It took us less than ten years to complete the feat of landing on the moon!"

Heywood lowered his head, as if thinking about how long it would take.

"Now that we have stronger technological capabilities, I think it will only take five years."

"Within five years, our good boy will be able to leave his footprints on the moon's surface again!"

Heywood seemed confident when he spoke. Most people present who did not know much about aerospace engineering believed what he said.

Only a small group of aerospace professionals feel that five years is really not enough.

After all, it was possible to complete the moon landing plan within ten years with the strength of the entire Western camp.

It is based on spending huge amounts of money every year.

Nowadays, it is simply impossible for them to obtain such nearly endless support of people, materials, and money.

However, even aerospace professionals do not find it difficult to recreate a manned moon landing.

Back then, they were able to complete it within ten years. No matter how much they think about it now, it will not take longer than it did then.

After all, they are now the only superpower on this planet!

The level of science and technology has also made great progress compared to forty years ago.

Therefore, with full calculation, ten years should be enough.

But these people subconsciously ignore a key issue.

Today, Eagle Sauce can still spend a huge amount of money just to send a few people to the moon as it did forty years ago.

The space race back then had a strong ZZ atmosphere.

It is understandable to do this in order to overwhelm the furry bear that was flourishing at that time.

As the only country with hegemony in the world, is it still necessary to advance such a grand plan?

Maybe some of the people present thought of this joint.

However, none of them stood up to refute or say anything.

"Let those yellow-skinned monkeys in Dragon Kingdom go to hell!"

Heywood waved his hands excitedly:

“The light of God protects us!”

Heywood's remarks caused an uproar in major media and online platforms as soon as they were broadcast.

The end of the "Apollo Project" was only thirty years ago.

Many of the scientific researchers who participated in it have not even retired yet.

In particular, some people who were only in their twenties and thirties at the time are still only in their fifties and sixties today and are at the peak of their scientific research careers.

Heywood's plan to return to the moon first aroused opposition from these people.

"If such a huge plan is launched just to send a few astronauts to the moon, I think it will be an unprecedented disaster!"

An aerospace worker who personally experienced the "space fever" period more than 30 years ago first stood up and said.

Although the "Apollo Project" achieved the feat of sending 12 astronauts to the moon, it also paid extremely heavy sacrifices.

During the launch rehearsal of the Apollo Project 1 spacecraft, a raging fire engulfed the three astronauts in the cockpit of the spacecraft.

In addition, the explosion of the oxygen chamber of Apollo 13 almost took the lives of several astronauts.

These are all impressive to those who have experienced them.

In addition to these objections from a scientific perspective, there are also some other voices.

Because the moon landing decades ago, in the eyes of many people, was inherently gloomy and full of conspiracies.

"At that time, we had not even landed on the moon!"

Professor Bill Kane, who claims to have participated in the Apollo project, said in the latest TV interview program

"The rocket carrying astronauts was indeed launched at that time, but the target was not the moon, but the Antarctic, which is also rarely visited by people!"

"There, the command module ejected the rocket and was recovered by military aircraft."

"Then the astronauts performed the entire process of landing on the moon in a laboratory on Earth!"

"Finally, they entered the command module and were thrown into the Pacific Ocean, completing the entire so-called moon landing process!"

Bill Kane, after expressing his views, added:

"At this point, we are not even as good as the people from the Dragon Kingdom!"

"At the very least, the flash they created on the moon was visible to the whole world!"

A few months ago, Chang'e-1 hit the north pole of the moon, causing a violent flash.

It has been observed not only by major observatories around the world, but also by astronomy enthusiasts with small and medium-diameter telescopes.

Around the world, there are tens of thousands of people who have seen this scene.

Therefore, compared with the moon landing plan decades ago that has been unverifiable.

The Longguo people's moon collision experiment actually happened in front of everyone.

Even in Yingjiang, we did not see this scene due to time issues.

However, there were also rich people at that time who went directly to the Eastern Hemisphere for observation, which was suitable for viewing.

Therefore, in fact, there are only a few people that Yingjiang has seen in China!

If Heywood's speech can be said to have stirred up a thousand waves with one stone.

Well, as soon as Bill Kane's interview was broadcast, a depth charge was dropped directly into the pool!

It completely detonated the discussion about the moon landing in the public opinion field!

In the following months, it has remained extremely popular.

Even the popularity of celebrity gossip has been suppressed.

Various parties have launched countless heated debates around "whether the moon landing plan is the biggest conspiracy of the twentieth century", "whether returning to the moon is too laborious and costly for people and money", and "whether the people of the Dragon Kingdom will land on the moon earlier than us".

This turmoil, as well as these heated discussions, gradually spread to all parts of the world.

It has caused very heated discussions all over the world.

On the Western Continent, people were discussing when Alliance spacecraft would be able to send their astronauts into space.

Although many people from the Alliance have been in space, even Enel of Gaul is the female astronaut in the world who has lived and worked in space for the longest time.

Enel has been into space three times.

However, most of them are manned rockets carrying furry bears into space.

The alliance itself has no independent experience in manned spaceflight.

Even, in some respects, it is doubtful whether the alliance has the ability to independently carry manned spaceflight.

Therefore, if the alliance wants to carry out a moon landing, it is also a foolish dream.

Although there are many high-tech industries, they are too scattered internally, making integration very troublesome.

Therefore, the development of the aerospace industry has not been very smooth.

In Da Mao's country, everyone is also discussing whether it is possible to complete the great deeds that Mao Xiong has never accomplished before.

At this time, it was just over ten years after the separation, and the aerospace industry inherited had not yet shrunk.

In the world, it can be called the second level.

If economic factors are put aside, in the eyes of most people, except for Yingjiang, the only one who can land on the moon is Mao Xiong, who has this technical strength!

In particular, they still maintain the super-thrust rocket they developed back then. Although it is stored at the Baikonur Space Center, it may be pulled out for repair and used.

After abandoning the space shuttle technology tree, Da Mao has been developing rocket technology for a long time, and the technology he has developed is quite sufficient.

If we say that most other regions are analyzing whether they can land on the moon in terms of scientific and technological capabilities and economic strength.

So many public statements in the Dragon Kingdom are obviously out of the scope of seeking truth from facts.

"Our technology is still too backward and cannot be compared with others. Landing on the moon is not something we should consider at all."

If you say such a statement, it is barely acceptable in terms of technical strength.

After all, in terms of lunar landing technology, the country does not have much technical reserves.

Then, the remarks of a well-known host are very problematic:

“It’s useless to land on the moon, so it’s better to use it to improve people’s livelihood!”

He said in the TV program: "We spend so much money every year on manned spaceflight and lunar exploration programs. If all this money is used to improve people's livelihood in the country, how many people can be helped!"

What he said actually spoke to the aspirations of many people.

That is, what meaning do these seemingly lofty space programs mean to the people.

Not to mention the improvement in self-confidence these projects have brought to the Chinese people.

Just talking about practical effects, these aerospace projects have actually produced many inventions that have a major impact on people's daily lives.

For example, a nuclear magnetic resonance machine.

Nowadays, everyone hears its name more often in hospital examination items, which is used to check the health of various organs in the body.

At the beginning, it was used inside the rocket to detect the operating status of the instruments.

In the years of aerospace development, there have been many similar inventions.

In addition, there are also diapers, which have also benefited greatly from the development of manned spaceflight.

Because it is very inconvenient for astronauts to excrete in space, which requires them to invent an effective solution.

Then there is this diaper technology that eliminates the need to worry about excrement contaminating the space suit.

There have been many such situations in the development of aerospace science and technology over the past few decades.

Putting aside these technologies, the impact of aerospace engineering on human beings.

There is a major problem with this statement alone.

Aerospace and poverty alleviation are two issues in themselves.

Taking the past year 2003 as an example, the country’s special funds invested in aerospace projects were actually less than 3 billion.

Mainly focused on manned spaceflight and lunar exploration programs.

Manned spaceflight costs less than 2 billion per year, and the lunar exploration program costs even less.

If we don't have to prepare for Chang'e 2, just Chang'e 1 will cost basically nothing.

Apart from this, most aerospace projects are funded by various units or commercial companies themselves.

For example, the Fengyun series of meteorological satellites are owned by the meteorological department and are naturally funded by them.

During this process, the aerospace system can even make some money to supplement family income.

As for purely commercial launches, they are basically pure profits.

A single launch can generate at least tens of millions of profits!

As for poverty alleviation, the central government alone spent nearly 20 billion on poverty alleviation last year, and there is no shortage of more than 2 billion in funds.

Not to mention, the investment in poverty alleviation at all levels of local governments is even greater than this!

Aerospace engineering also has a positive effect on poor areas themselves.

For example, the satellite communication system has been established for several years.

This allows many remote mountainous areas where wired telephones were once scarce to communicate with the outside world more conveniently.

To a certain extent, it has also changed the bad situation in the local area.
