Chapter 768: Banner Drums Equivalent?

The second weekend in April.

Early morning tranquillity in major North American cities was completely broken by a newspaper.

In the headlines of the new issue of The Washington Post, a prominent line of headlines shook the eyes of all passers-by before the newspaper shut down.

The Ares Plan Breakthrough! The Ares life-support unit has landed successfully! The era of the great navigation of the universe is sailing!

The Washington Post, the largest, oldest and most authoritative newspaper in North America, which had played an important role in the Watergate events and the Iran-Iraq war, was undoubtedly much more authoritative than The New York Times, and the reliability of the news was far from comparable to that of the average newspaper.

Even the white collar, not interested in the newspaper at all, after seeing this eye-catching title, could not help but throw a dollar of change at the newsstand, stuffed the newspaper in a briefcase with it, and intended to take it to work.

Newly released newspapers still had almost inky oil temperatures, so people stole it and sold it out!

For this unexpected situation, the Washington Post had to contact a cooperating printing house, where millions of newspapers were urgently printed and sent to major newsstands and distribution outlets.

South of San Francisco Bay Area, close to the old town on the edge of Silicon Valley.

In a test stand on the corner, three, three, two, two, three hungover drunkards, early commuters before work, and several clearly retired, purely sitting here sending out time.

With an oil-stained newspaper in his hand, the old white man sitting next to the bar of Kao Rib Shop whispered, his expression on his face shocked more and more, reaching out and holding on to the old friend sitting next to him, said in an incredible voice.

“Hey, did you hear that? Space-X's BFR rocket successfully delivered the life support unit to Mars! ”

“God... this is crazy! ”

“I heard! And not only that, I heard the new BFS ship was loaded with BFR rockets, and Space-X had reported the next part of the launch plan to NASA, and soon Musk would send our colonists to Mars. ”

“It sounds interesting that the era of the great navigation of the universe is beginning, perhaps we should open a bottle of champagne for the victory of the BFR rockets. ”

“Oh, come on, I don't want to get drunk early in the morning. ”

“Ha ha, what does it matter? It's for the Statue of Liberty! ”

In a crowd of people, the owner of the rib shop smiled and brought a beer.

A hangover drunk woke up with a TV hanging by the bar. He opened his sleepy eyes in confusion and heard the people talking to him in secret. He shook up a glass of wine already drunk in his hand and whispered in a hiccup.

“Let's drink to the future of the United States… Hiccup! ”

Meanwhile, the host of the morning news broadcast on television, covering last night's football game, suddenly received a copy from the side, and the expression on his face instantly became wonderful.

“A news broadcast at midnight below… According to a message from NASA, the BFR rocket launched last month successfully arrived in Mars orbit and dropped the life support unit it carried. ”

“The surprise was so sudden, I wasn't ready for the psychological preparations, please allow me to take a deep breath...” The host standing in front of the TV took a deep breath, looked back at the camera and said in an excited and somewhat faint tone, “Unbelievable! We did it!”

……

It wasn't just Americans who were shocked by BFR rockets.

When NASA officially announced on the official page that the life-support unit had successfully landed on the surface of Mars, it immediately launched a huge wave internationally!

Almost at the same time, Space-X immediately held a press conference, hosted by star entrepreneur Musk himself, to introduce the public to the role Space-X played in the Ares project and how the legendary BFR superrocket had thrown a 25-ton payload from the Earth's surface onto Mars.

Wearing a black suit and a grey shirt for the rest of his life, the legendary Musk, with only one suit in his wardrobe, walked up to the stage with a lot of agitation and excitement. The voice of love, preaching to the audience under the stage.

“… the life support unit is just the first step in Ares! We will then send more colonists to the surface of Mars to explore the frontiers of our civilization. ”

“We welcome anyone to join us, regardless of his gender, nationality, status, identity… and everything. As long as you have a heart passionate about the great cause of humanity, we are friends! ”

“Whether the future is approaching us, embracing the future proactively, or watching it walk through our eyes...”

“The choice is yours! ”

As soon as the voice fell, the press conference venue was filled with applause.

After the press conference.

With the help of the news that the Ares landed on the surface of Mars, Space-X's share price soared along the way as if it had been plugged in its wings.

Not only that, but also the blue origins of life-support unit design, such as a series of high-tech space companies hatched in Silicon Valley and Seattle, all enjoyed one of the fattest steaks at this capital feast.

The space race seems to have reached a turning point.

Faced with China's strength in the Moon Program, the United States, an old space giant, has once again demonstrated to the world its unchallengeable strength in space.

Even the Ark had to admit that the technology of 25 tons of Mars orbital delivery capability and the BFR rockets that stood on the shoulders of giants without taking the usual route had indeed reached a certain level.

Just as the international media reported on the success of the BFR rocket, the BBC story finally came out of the shaft.

Following the coverage of the China Lunar Orbital Space Station, these Brits were similarly on an objective… or lively footing, reporting on the success of the first phase of the US Ares programme.

“… Musk's SpaceX has the potential to become a Muskie in the future universe, and today's BFR is a steam sailboat if you look at a former Falcon 9 rocket as a wooden sailboat that can just sail from afar. ”

“From Space-X's never-ending exploration of technology, we can clearly see their determination to make courageous progress in the future. Perhaps we can really have this unrealistic expectation that, in the not-too-distant future, they will be able to go further in the field of technology and continue to study interplanetary diesel ships and even move 'mountains’ like the Maritime Giant...”

“It seems premature to discuss these things now, but if this momentum is maintained, Space-X may indeed be able to seize market dominance with an earlier advantage and set standards and thresholds for the global launch industry. ”

“More interestingly, we note that Professor Lu of China, in a recent media interview, said that he would create a future 'interplanetary railway transport company' in the Space Launch Project Department of Startech. ”

“Thus, in the near future, space technology, which monopolizes more than 80 per cent of China's space launch missions, may become Space-X's biggest competitor. ”

“Currently, China's comparison with the United States in the field of space is gradually entering white heat. ”

“The first phase seems to end in a tie. ”

“Both sides, both in China and in the United States, seem steadfast on their own path and have their own aces. ”

“A world-renowned scientist, a visionary businessman… let's see who wins this competition! ”
