The video was taken and sent from the part of the spacecraft that was stuck in orbit, and the length was only a short one minute and fifty seconds.

I saw that in the video, a semi-circular landing cabin was separated from the spaceship of the Golden Heart, dragging the ray of light of the flame, falling toward the thin atmosphere of Mars, eventually turning into a point that disappeared into Mars. The edge of the atmosphere…

As Lu Zhou had guessed, NASA posted the relevant news on the official website the first time after the successful launch, and sent the video clip of the Golden Heart to the Internet.

And the next thing is also expected.

In just ten minutes, the video, which is less than two minutes long, has soared and hit the top three of YouTube’s hottest video.

After watching the pictures in the video, the meeting room was silent, and no one spoke.

After a long time, Chen Yunhai lightly coughed, breaking the silence of the atmosphere.

“We need to discuss countermeasures -“

“There is nothing to discuss. I have said from the beginning that it is enough to do the work in our hands.”

Closing the notebook on the table, Lu Zhou looked towards Academician Yuan Huanmin. After thinking for a while, the opening continued to ask, “How long is the livelihood cabin of the Moon Palace ready?”

Academician Yuan hesitated, and said.

“It’s ready, it will take another week to test.”

“The next launch plan will be set in two weeks!” said Lu Zhou, stuffing his notebook into the bag and standing up from the conference table. “Every busy, go, meet!”

……

The successful landing of the Golden Heart has earned the United States a huge international reputation, and the whole of North America has fallen into a sea of ​​jubilation.

The video that NASA released on youtube and the official website, the comment area has been smashed by netizens around the world.

It seems to be venting the last resentment qi in the core system of the Moon Palace, and the New York Times will be a cartoon with a star-and-striped boxing glove and a victory gesture, deliberately placed in the news report. next to.

Even the Washington Post, which has always been known for its rigor, has rarely used “a great step in the history of mankind” to describe the success of this fire-clearing plan.

In addition to the amnesty reports of the North American media, reports from overseas media have also paid the highest attention to this matter.

This time, the BBC’s evaluation is still standing in the stand of watching the movie. It does not hurt that NASA has already gained the upper hand in this competition.

At present, the Ares plan seems to be deeper than the plan of the Moon Palace in China.

Compared to the resources of the third generation that can be used in some years and months, the rich methane resources on Mars can be used as energy for liquid oxygen methane rocket engines.

It turns out that chemistry propulsion technology is far from reaching bottleneck, at least BFS rockets have proved this. The colony on Mars will also become the springboard for NASA to project spacecraft to other planets in the future.

The future of electric propulsion may be even broader, but the liquid oxygen methane rocket engine does not seem to be bad.

Just as the heat of the Ares program is on the rise, Space-X announced that it will open a business with video sites such as youtube to regularly release daily videos of Mars colonists on the Internet for free.

In an interview with the media, Musk solemnly promised that the advertising revenue generated by the video will be used for all aerospace projects.

At the same time, the White House and NASA’s official website have released a message, to collect the name of the Mars colony for the US public, and set up an online vote to count everyone’s opinions.

This activity has aroused considerable enthusiasm among the people of North America. Even those who are not interested in aerospace, have participated in this name collection activity with great interest.

In less than a day, the number of voters exceeded 30 million.

After some screening, after removing a few obvious spoof names, the White House finally announced the name “New Virginia” as the first Martian colony.

Historically, this was where the British colonists began in North America.

The choice of this name for the Martian colony is undoubtedly quite commemorative.

Just after the name of “New Virginia” was announced, NASA immediately announced the next step of the Ares plan.

Before continuing to export immigrants to Mars, the immigrant pioneers stationed on Mars will investigate methane gas reserves, metal deposits and other resources near the colony, and expand the scope of geological exploration to areas not accessible by remote-controlled rover vehicles. Explore the polar solid carbon dioxide reserves of Mars, evaluate the feasibility of artificially launching the greenhouse effect to repair the Martian atmosphere, and explore the most critical groundwater.

For the time being, the balance of victory seems to be leaning towards the eastern shore of the Pacific Ocean.

Just as North America was paralyzed by the success of the Ares program, the lunar orbital construction committee on the other side of the Pacific suffered a lot of pressure.

At the beginning of the space station program, there was a lot of controversy in the industry about whether to choose the “moon palace” or “Heavenly Palace”. Now, the breakthrough progress of the Ares plan seems to make the debate louder.

However, for the voice of these arguments, Lu Zhou, the chief designer of the Lunar Track Construction Committee, seems to be deaf.

The launch of the Moon Palace livelihood cabin assembly is as usual.

When the livelihood cabin is assembled, the Moon, which is already installed in the functional, node and experimental cabins, will serve as a complete lunar space station, floating on the “NRHO” orbit, allowing the ground command center to send researchers to station.

At the same time, this is the last component of the first phase of the Moon Palace…

……

White House.

Office of the President.

The president who just returned from Congress is sitting in the office chair and flipping through the minutes of the meeting. The expression on his face looks very good.

At the previous meeting, the expressions of the opposition party members’ faces were so happy that even the noon steaks became more fragrant.

Just a week ago, members of the opposition party were still attacking him with funds from the aerospace program, but few people now doubt that he is right.

The success of the Ares program is correct!

The victory of the space race is correct!

The one who is leading the American people to victory is the biggest correct!

I signed my name on the documents in my hand. I remembered the former Member who had euphemistically pointed out to him at the meeting that he should be a little restrained. He couldn’t help but laugh.

“Why don’t these idiots understand? Aerospace has cost a lot of money, but it has stimulated the economy and created employment. I don’t know what dissatisfaction they have…”

Roosevelt’s dam revived the American economy, and his rocket could do the same.

Shaking his head, he left the signed budget on the side and picked up the next document about the California nuclear power plant project.

However, just as he was preparing to read it carefully, there was a knock on the door.

Putting down the documents in his hands, he cleared his throat and said “please enter.”

When he saw the director of Carson appearing at the door, the president’s face suddenly showed a big smile.

“Director Carson, I am very glad to meet you, please sit down!”

Looking at the president with a big smile, Carson’s face was a little subtle, or he didn’t know how to open it.

“President mister, I am also very happy to meet you…”

The ten fingers crossed the table and leaned on the office chair, and said with a smile: “It seems that you have something to say, and what good news is going to report to me?”

“No…may be the opposite of your expectations,” swallowed a spit. Director Carson sighed coldly and said with a hard time. “Our colonists may have had a little trouble…”
