According to the Russian Space Agency, at 9 am, July 11, Moscow time.The Russian Space Agency successfully tested the Polar Bear super-heavy carrier rocket at the Baikonur Space Center. In the next two months, it will select an opportunity for a manned mission to the moon.

After the marching ant group announced the news of taking back rock samples on the back of the moon, global space exploration is like a pot of boiling oil.The news from the Russian Space Agency was like a scoop of clear water poured into a pot.

Once, as one of the two superpowers, the former Soviet Union was forced to suspend the moon landing plan due to rocket technology problems and its own economic problems. However, the former Soviet Union disintegrated without starting the plan again.

Unexpectedly, a few decades later, Russia, which inherited most of the legacy of the former Soviet Union, announced its successful test launch of a launch vehicle.

The already tumbling atmosphere exploded in various public opinions.

After Russia announced the time of the moon landing, it caused a ripple effect, and other countries followed suit and announced the time of the moon landing.

Reuters news: European Space Agency Director Yang Werner told this reporter that the European Space Agency's "Dawn Project" will officially launch the second step of launching a landing probe to the moon in half a month.

The Asahi Shimbun: A person familiar with the island nation’s space research and development agency revealed to this reporter that the island nation’s space development research agency will launch a lunar probe to the surface of the moon within the next month, officially launching the'lunar reading program'.

New York Times: SpaceX and Israel Aerospace Industries Corporation jointly announced that Israel’s second lunar probe, Genesis 2, will be launched early next month with a Falcon 10 carrier rocket, starting Israel’s second time Moon landing plan.

News from The Times of India:...

...

Many countries have expressed their opinions and announced to the media in a high-profile manner that within the next year, they will launch a lunar lander, officially launching India's lunar exploration program.

This is the second time since Chen Mo went to space last time, the world's powers have concentrated on expressing their views and determining the time for lunar exploration.

Many powerful countries do not want to fall behind in the step of landing on the moon, and China and the United States are left who have not expressed their views.

These are currently the two most powerful countries in the world. China’s development over the years has already left others far behind in terms of high technology.

China's moon landing plan has always been carried out step by step. As early as two months ago, the launch time for the next month was determined. After the marching ant group successfully obtained Moon Rock to return, the plan remained unchanged.

The only thing that is uncertain is the United States.

The eyes of the world are focused on the United States.

This once superpower, in this lively competition, is certainly unwilling to succumb to others.

While the outside world was eagerly looking forward to it, sure enough, soon after the countries announced their plans for the moon landing, NASA finally broke the news.

NASA Director Jim Bredden publicly announced to the media that NASA will launch a manned spacecraft to return to the moon on July 26.The launch vehicle this time is the Hercules 2 rocket.

In this mission, the astronauts will stay on the moon table for a week, and will also put a small research capsule and a small ecological capsule on the moon to prepare for the construction of a lunar base in the future.

After nearly 60 years, the United States returned to the moon.

This news was exposed and instantly robbed all news headlines.

Some people familiar with the matter revealed that the construction of the lunar base is to develop the helium-3 resources on the moon in the future. China’s nuclear fusion technology has matured. In the near future, nuclear power plants will be put into use. The abundant helium-3 resources on the moon It will replace oil and become the main resource that the great powers will compete for in the future. This is also the reason why many powerful countries are vying to land on the moon.

Affected by the news that the United States plans to build a lunar base and develop helium-3 resources, and China’s nuclear fusion power station is about to be put into use, the news is the first to explode in the global stock market.

Global oil prices and coal prices have experienced different declines, and gold prices have risen sharply. Some senior investors said that oil prices fluctuate sharply and gold will become the best safe-haven investment in the next few years, in the field of new energy and high-tech. Will be a good investment direction.

The various waves of influence driven by public opinion have attracted global attention, and the United States has also used this news to consolidate its dominant position.

The US economic market also became active after various news spread.

In this space race, other countries will not start until next month, and the United States will start at the end of the month, as if revealing that the United States wants to lead the world.

In various reports and heated discussions, the 26th followed.

Kennedy Space Launch Center.

In the waiting room prepared for the last time, the three astronauts finished their final physical examination and were chatting easily at this time.

Already near the start of the mission, they are the first astronauts after returning to the moon.

In their hands, there is also a description of the experience of those astronauts who landed on the moon.Even though they are already familiar with these materials, they can't help but familiarize themselves before leaving.

They have no experience, and the moon is a completely unfamiliar place to them. The experience of previous generations is of great help to them.

The importance and significance of this mission is extraordinary.

Back then, the two countries were fighting for hegemony. The landing on the moon was a battle to prove that they were powerful. Now it is a turning point in history, with extraordinary significance and success. They will gain a place in the future energy resource competition. It can be proved that decades later, they are still strong.

"When you get to the moon, do you think it would be better for us to get out of the cabin first?" Van Yativis asked.

He is the oldest and most experienced astronaut among the three astronauts. He has been to the International Space Station many times and has also performed space walks. Although he was under great pressure on the moon landing, he must remain calm. , The mental state is very important.

The two colleagues on both sides of him are also experienced astronauts.

"this is a problem."

The youngest astronaut on the left tilts his head.

"People only remember the first person. Everyone in the world knows that Armstrong was the first person to set foot on the moon, but Mr. Aldrin, who set foot on the moon 19 minutes later than Mr. Armstrong, is unknown."

"In this case, we use the most technologically advanced method in the universe to decide who will step on first." said the astronaut on the right.

"Which method is the most technical?" Van Yativis and the young astronaut on the left looked at him.

"Scissors, rock, cloth."

"..."

The three laughed instantly.

During the chat and laugh, the staff of the launch center came in and led them away.Now before the rocket is launched, they will also enter the rocket's lunar module to wait.

Jim looked at the launch tower in the distance, and the Hercules 2 rocket pointed directly at the sky.

It was a three-stage super-heavy launch vehicle, which was a circle larger than the Saturn 5 that was used in the Apollo program. The diameter of the first-stage rocket reached an astonishing 15 meters and the height reached 130 meters.

This rocket is the key to this moon landing plan.

The world is paying attention to this launch. If it succeeds, they will show off their muscles in front of the world.

"Director, the astronaut has successfully entered the lunar module, and there are still 3 hours and 10 minutes away from launch." Jim's secretary stopped beside him and said.

"Mr. Kane, do you want to do the final check?" Jim looked at Kane.

This weird guy gave him a bad impression.

Since arriving at the launch center, he hasn't said much, his behavior is very irritating, and his emotional intelligence is negative. If it weren't for his terrifying research and development capabilities, Jim wouldn't want to see him.

One of his dignified directors of the space agency, when they were together, they seemed to be attending to Kane, which made him very upset and shameless.

However, this guy is really good. When he directed the rocket assembly, he was surprisingly smooth, and he was meticulous in various inspections. He also found a few small problems that other staff had overlooked.

"No." Kane shook his head, finished speaking, and went back to the command and control room.

Jim looked depressed to see.

Everything is ready.

The eyes of the world are all paying attention to this launch, and the media in the United States are preparing to broadcast it live.

This is an opportunity for their country to be great again.

Three hours later, under global attention, the Hercules 2 rocket rose into the sky from the launch tower of the Kennedy Space Center.
