Super technology leader

"The manned mission to orbit the moon was very successful. There were no accidents during this time, and all the equipment worked perfectly!"

"We use facts to prove that the times have changed!"

"When our technology is sufficiently advanced, some complicated testing procedures can be omitted, which can save money and speed up the entire task process, and then prepare for the next task!"

"The next task is to return our astronauts to the moon, and there will be a lady!"

The press spokesperson of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration said impassioned above, and when the next task was to get the astronaut to return to the moon, and there was a lady, the reporters below clapped.

The degree of neatness is like a request.

In fact, there is not much difference.

In the back office, three astronauts returning from the orbit of the moon waited while watching the situation outside through the monitor.

They all blushed after hearing what the spokesperson said.

Not only was it wrong, but also the reporters outside.

Normal reporters, especially those from Meriken, are quite capable of getting things done.

Under normal circumstances, they will ask some tricky questions to embarrass the people on the stage, they are so good for the big news, instead of collective applause like now.

They are not waiting behind, it will be their turn to play in a while, so they are memorizing lines to deal with questions they may be asked after they play.

There are many problems, some mild ones, and some tricky ones, but looking at these problems, they are more certain that today's entire event may be a show.

"The cabin structure layout of the Orion spacecraft is excellent. We feel very comfortable inside, especially the separate bathroom. Zena likes it very much. (You need to interact with Zena here, and you don't need to recite in the brackets)"

"Because most of the equipment is automated, and it also comes with a central auxiliary program, there are not many times when we need to do it yourself..."

While carrying the lines, their thoughts floated to the mission to the moon a few days ago.

The spacecraft had a problem as soon as it entered the Moon Orbit. The smoke alarm sounded, and the burnt smell of rubber quickly made them find the wire.

Short circuit!

Thanks to the high safety redundancy of the Orion spacecraft, after this line was short-circuited, the auxiliary program immediately activated the backup line and activated the smoke alarm to notify them.

And they are now in the orbit to the moon, the engine is off, and they have been coasting, and it's okay if there is a small situation.

As long as the engine is not suddenly turned on to take them to other places, then it is not a big problem.

Kyle Lee is a mechanical and computer engineer, responsible for the maintenance and repair of the spacecraft.

Because of the previous psychological counseling, his current mood is fairly stable, so he quickly found out the spare wire and replaced it, then analyzed the situation and eliminated the follow-up failure.

It's just that no matter how successful the maintenance work is, the problem of unsafe spacecraft cannot be concealed.

And their entire journey has just begun. They encountered this kind of problem at the beginning, what should we do later?

They responded to the situation to the command center, and the command center analyzed that these are normal phenomena, even if the wire is not changed, the spacecraft's redundant design ensures safety.

So the task continues as usual.

The command center said so, they can only pray that there will be no more accidents behind.

Unfortunately, their prayers were useless, and when they were out of the earth, their god seemed to have a bad signal.

The journey back and forth plus the circumnavigation of the moon took a total of six days, and they had suffered all these six days.

There will be a small problem here for a while, and there will be a small problem there for a while, and will be awakened by the alarm even when sleeping.

Although these problems will not endanger their lives, they can destroy their spirits.

One day after the departure, that is, halfway through the rush to the moon, the toilet broke down. Kyle-Lee wasted no effort in repairing it, and they wanted to return home.

However, after studying on the ground, they decided to let them continue their mission, because the toilet was broken, and it would not threaten their lives. At most, the living environment was reduced to the level of the Apollo spacecraft decades ago.

Space excretion bag!!

literal meaning.

A bag used to dispose of excrement in space.

Yes, they also have a redundant design for the toilet system, but they certainly cannot fit two toilets, so use the success stories of the previous generation of spacecraft.

Because there are female astronauts this time, they also specially designed a female excretion bag.

I didn't expect it to be really used.

But don't think about the air in the spacecraft. When the spacecraft came back, the astronauts smelled bad.

Thanks to the reporters being separated far away, they can only take pictures and can't smell them, and they have specially asked the astronauts and staff to keep smiling before leaving the cabin.

And in order to allow the three astronauts to persist in completing the mission and not to change the spacecraft's course and fly back halfway, after the meeting and research, the NASA promised to let them three carry out the manned return to the moon plan.

That is, the next SLS rocket mission.

The first flight of the SLS rocket mission was successful, and the next time it was launched normally, the Orion spacecraft is also considered a test this time. As long as those minor problems are corrected, the next time it can fly normally.

Moreover, the lunar module for the manned moon landing will conduct an unmanned test before the official mission to ensure safety, and this situation will never happen again.

With this promise, the three astronauts also compromised, because so far, although the spacecraft’s minor problems have continued, it does not threaten life, and at most it is uncomfortable and suffering.

But if you use this experience in exchange for the first chance to return to the moon, it will undoubtedly make a lot of money.

Decades ago, who knew about the astronauts on the Apollo 8 mission who did not carry the lunar module?

Their mission this time is actually equivalent to the Apollo 8 mission that year.

In addition to the moon landing, who knows about the Apollo 10 mission astronauts who practiced the full moon landing process?

The lunar module of the No. 10 mission was separated from the spacecraft, and was only about 15 kilometers away from the moon's surface. As long as one shivered, one of the astronauts could become the first person to land on the moon in history.

But no, they were just a dress rehearsal this time. The real landing mission was the 11th mission. The first person to land on the moon was Armstrong, who became a household name later.

Even these astronauts are not bad. After all, they have entered space and even reached the moon orbit. There are more astronauts who are just substitutes. They have never been to space, let alone go to the moon.

Therefore, Raja Charlie, Kyle Lee and Zena Kadman insisted on completing this test in order to return to the first group of astronauts orbiting the moon and landing on the moon.

Such a name has never existed in the history of spaceflight.

They are making history!

So standing in front of the microphone to accept the interview with reporters, they looked very energetic, and there was no trace of memorizing lines at all.

The prayers to the gods at the beginning worked. Although the process was still difficult, they returned safely and got the first group of places to return to the moon.

Then the previous difficulties have become training.

Yes!

It's just that they don't know that if they advance the plan for the moon landing in three years to next year, it means that many projects have to be in rush.

Today the space agency has officially stated that the new method can speed up manufacturing and testing, and the ghost knows how they will speed it up.
