Super technology leader

Chapter 153 Navigator can, so can we!

"What's the matter with you, why haven't you settled it?"

Kuna questioned Jim.

Jim is also helpless. The new generation of young astronauts have their own ideas, rights and freedom are not separated, and their independent thinking ability is quite strong.

It's not as obedient as previous generations of astronauts, letting you do whatever you want, even in dangerous situations.

Moreover, there are more and more guarantee regulations for astronauts, and there is no way for them to force astronauts to do missions.

He explained: “None of the astronauts selected last year wanted to participate in this lunar orbit mission. They said that the mission lacked an important test and did not meet safety standards, so they refused.”

"The old astronauts wanted to participate, but they are too old. It's okay to perform a near-Earth space station mission. They can fly to the moon...too risky."

Hearing what the director of Meriken said, no one else could say anything, because the launch mission did not comply with the rules and skipped the unloaded orbiting the moon and went directly to the manned orbiting the moon.

For a moment, everyone was silent.

Kuna saw that this was not okay. Now is not the time to be silent, because whether you are silent or not, the launch will take place on May 20th.

But if there is only an Orion spacecraft at the top of the SLS rocket and no astronauts, the president will be unhappy.

The president is not happy, then they are all finished.

And he is not the only one. Everyone in this room counts as one. Even the companies, organizations, trade unions, etc. behind will all have to be affected.

Public servants like him may lose their jobs.

Large companies may lose orders.

Scientists may lose money.

Even if the president cannot decide in a word, it is certainly possible to make some influence.

However, this is not a joint meeting, and private companies that specialize in aerospace were not involved.

Although Poyin and Luoma are also private companies, their rocket and spacecraft research and development tasks are carried out under the auspices of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, and they are basically national space projects.

Kuna is also a little trance now.

He felt that if the two groups were not too big, lying unobtrusively making money, and slowing down the design and manufacturing progress, they would not face this embarrassing situation now.

"Maybe I can contact those private space companies in the future. Their various projects are progressing much faster than these two companies. Even Deep Blue Origin, which is known for its stability, is faster than these two companies."

Kuna thought so.

Of course, that is all afterwards, and they have to solve the matter now.

He thought for a while, and soon thought of the reason why the young astronauts did not want to participate in this mission. He is not a waste to be a trusted spokesperson of the president.

So he asked Jim: "The young astronauts collectively refuse to participate in the mission. Do you feel that there is one missing test for unmanned orbiting the moon? They are afraid of danger?"

"Is such that."

Jim nodded helplessly, "After we sent the mission, the older generation of astronauts submitted applications, and the desire to participate in the mission was very strong, but none of the new generation of astronauts submitted applications."

"This matter is very strange, so I let people understand it, and the result reflected is what you just said."

"They think it is not decades ago. Although they are astronauts, they also enjoy their own rights to life and freedom, and they have the right to refuse missions that are too dangerous."

"They also said that they are not without adventurous spirit and dedication. They can give their lives for science, but they will never give their lives for this situation."

"..."

After listening to the narration of the Director of the Space Administration, there was another silence in the meeting.

Obviously, the times are different, and the concepts of the younger generation of astronauts and the older generation of astronauts are no longer the same.

This may also have something to do with their current situation and the direction of their propaganda. The last time they had a space race, they had only one opponent, the giant bear.

At that time, Meriken really united all the forces that could be united in the country, and various problems were suppressed by the fear of the giant bear.

But then the giant bears died, and they became the first. After slackening, not only to prevent strong competitors from appearing outside, but also to prevent domestic problems from affecting the rule.

As a result, the previous propaganda was changed, and it was able to flicker externally and differentiate internally.

The propaganda that has spared no effort for decades has not only affected the outside world, but has also become lame in the country.

So this is the situation now.

Astronauts don't blindly sell their lives, and the situation of rushing to get on like the previous space race will never happen again.

The old astronauts still have this spirit, but they are no longer suitable for remote missions.

Things have reached a deadlock, but for his own position, Kuna used his brain and tried crazy ways.

After thinking about it, he thought of his opponent, the leader company.

Although he doesn't know that "knowing ourselves and the enemy is not end in a hundred battles", he also understands the truth that "to defeat an opponent, we must first understand the opponent".

He vaguely remembered that he had read a report and seemed to be able to solve the current situation.

"Know your opponent..."

Suddenly, his inspiration flashed, "Yes, to understand the opponent, intelligence, CIA, is the intelligence of the CIA."

He hurriedly found the CIA report from the reports before him, and then found the corresponding number of pages with his increasingly clear memory, and immediately found what he needed.

"Haha, that's it, I know how to convince those astronauts to perform missions."

Others don't know what the president's spokesperson suddenly went crazy, but they didn't say that the meeting was over, they could only stay, and by the way, they had to find a way to let the astronauts of the new era do extremely dangerous missions.

Kuna didn't care about this, and asked Jim first: "You haven't cooperated with the Tianxia aerospace field, but you have studied the two launch missions and three payload missions of Navigator?"

"Researched," Jim said: "As long as there are new types of rockets and payloads launched, we will research public information."

"It's good to have researched, then do you feel that the pilot company's rockets are missing from design to manufacturing, and finally to launch?"

Hearing Kuna asked technical questions, Jim couldn’t answer. He went back to chat with the two technical experts behind him, and then said: “According to the public information, there are indeed a few steps missing, but the leader There is no obligation to release all the testing procedures, so the less we see does not mean that there are fewer tests."

"The two rocket launches and the three load missions were 100% successful. Then, based on our judgment of the past, the navigators not only did hidden tests, but their tests were definitely stricter than the general specifications."

"Haha, Jim, your thinking is out of keeping with the times," Kuna held up the report in his hand. "The report from David clearly stated that they monitored Navigator's factory, although Some test tasks are uncertain, but for the outdoor test, Navigator did at most 50%, which means..."

Before he finished speaking, David, who had provided him with the report, came back to his senses, and immediately took over and said: "That is to say, the other party launched without a full test. These few successful cases are very big. Of gambling?"

Although David learned to answer, Kuna glanced at him and said, "No, what I want to say is, ladies and gentlemen, the times have changed!"

"Technology has been developing rapidly, and the previous regulations are no longer applicable to the present. The computing power of the Apollo spacecraft is not as good as the current smartwatch!"

"A few decades ago, could we think of Merrican's astronauts going to space on a private space company?

"Why can the navigator be 100% successful without a test process? That's because of the power of technology!"

"So Navigator can do that, we can do that too, and it's absolutely safe!"
