Rebirth Technology Power

Chapter 191 Lost technical data on moon landing

North America, Washington, District of Columbia.

NASA headquarters!

As one of the scientific research institutions of the US federal government, NASA is responsible for formulating and implementing the US space program and conducting aviation science and space science research.

Since the signing of the National Aeronautics and Space Act in 1958, NASA has a history of 64 years.

The successful realization of the manned landing on the moon by the Apollo program made NASA the most authoritative aerospace scientific research institution in the world and the leader of the world's spaceflight.

A series of aerospace technologies are NASA's most advanced.

At this point, Nelson was holding a meeting.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the Chinese on the other side of the ocean have achieved manned landing on the moon, and we don't have much time left!" Nelson looked very serious.

Last year, he officially became the administrator of NASA. Originally, Nelson thought it was a lucrative job. With a little effort, he could earn tens of millions of dollars or hundreds of millions of dollars a year without any risk.

But in the past few months, Nelson's life has been difficult.

Since CNSA officially announced the space shuttle, his life has been difficult.

At that time, he was called to the office of Sleepy Bridge and was severely scolded.

At that time, he could still argue that it was a mistake of the intelligence agency, which failed to collect the latest intelligence, which made them unaware that CNSA had developed a space shuttle.

But since China's manned moon landing has been successful, everything is no longer meaningful.

The tremendous pressure was so overwhelming that Nelson couldn't sleep well during this time. Even if the most sexy secretary was in front of him, he didn't have any interest.

It was also at this time that Nelson suddenly realized that the position of NASA director was not a good job, it was simply terrible.

If I had known earlier, I would have chosen another location.

Nelson is not an outsider, he is an insider, as early as January 1986, he took the 'Columbia' space shuttle to space, he is a genuine astronaut.

He is very clear about how difficult the space shuttle is. It is a real collection of high technology, representing the crystallization of wisdom at the industrial level of mankind.

Since the "Endeavour" space shuttle completed its last flight before decommissioning on June 2011, 6, and then entered the California Science Center in Los Angeles as its final destination, the United States has not had a space shuttle for 1 years. .

As for the last manned moon landing in the United States, it has been half a century.

Even, Nelson didn't know whether he really landed on the moon at the time, because he was an astronaut, he just went into space and never went to the moon.And he became the director of NASA, and he didn't know it either.

Because what happened back then is already a top-secret document, and even he, the director of NASA, is not qualified to borrow such a top-secret document.

In the entire United States, only one or two people have the authority to read such top-secret documents.

"However, Mr. Director, we plan to launch the new generation of moon landing rocket 'Space Launch System' for the first time on November 11, and carry out the unmanned test mission of Artemis 16 around the moon.We won't be sending astronauts to the lunar surface until at least 1. "A gray-haired old man with a hoarse old voice.

"2030? We can't wait until 2030!" Nelson said bluntly: "Next year, next year we have to manned the moon, otherwise we can't explain to the people, if we can't achieve the manned moon next year , then I think that when we have to face difficulties from the masters of Congress, they will at least cut our funding in half.”

"Next year? Mr. Director, do you know that this is a manned landing on the moon, not a launch of a rocket, what a joke, you can kill us all, there is nothing you can do!" A scientific researcher seemed very angry: "This is scientific research, It’s science, not a slap in the face.”

"What about the Apollo technology back then, we were able to send astronauts to the moon back then, and now there is no problem with these technologies!" Nelson frowned, and then proposed a feasible plan.

It was possible 60 years ago, but it doesn’t make sense not to do it now!
A middle-aged woman said: "Mr. Director, you may not know that in the past few decades of de-industrialization, many original enterprises have gone bankrupt and closed down, and the production lines have not been dropped, and we do not have so many skilled workers. I can't come out."

Nelson frowned, thinking hard, and then a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind: "Now is the era of globalization, and we don't need to be limited to our own country. We can look for Canada, Mexico, Europe and China. Isn't there the most complete industry category in the world? , owning the entire industrial chain, the big deal is to place an order for them."

"Mr. Director, this will cause technical leaks!" The white-haired old man said in a deep voice.

"Technical leaks, that is the technology of 60-70 years ago, there is nothing to worry about, people have even built space shuttles, and you are still worried about technical leaks." Nelson only felt that his IQ had been insulted.

"Our top priority now is to carry out manned moon landings to show that NASA is still the world's aerospace leader." Nelson had to emphasize again: "And we must be one step ahead of the manned landing on Mars. Once CNSA lands first Mars is catastrophic for us!"

Every NASA expert, looking at Nelson is like looking at an idiot.

You know, the moon is about 38 kilometers away from the earth, the perigee is 35.7 kilometers, and the apogee is only 40.6 kilometers.But for Mars, the short distance is 5500 million kilometers, and the farthest distance is more than 4 million kilometers.

And the close encounters of Mars and Earth occur about once every 15 years, which is not all the time!
Could it be so easy to land on Mars! ?
"How, we provide technology and design, global procurement, how, how about this plan?" Nelson asked.

The white-haired old man blushed and said hesitantly: "Mr. Director, you may not know that part of our moon landing technical data is missing."

Before the old man finished speaking, Nelson interrupted him: "What are you talking about, our moon landing technical data is lost!?"

"How is it possible? How could such important information be lost? Are you kidding me? Today is not April Fool's Day. This joke is not funny at all!" Nelson widened his eyes.

Just kidding, the moon landing technical data, how important and precious it is, and the degree of confidentiality is also the highest.

You told me that such important technical information was lost?

I would rather believe that the nuclear warhead was lost than that the technical data on the moon landing would be lost.

To put it bluntly, although this is the technology of 70 to [-] years ago, it is very advanced technology now, except for a few countries.

After all, up to now, the world has the ability to send astronauts to space, and only China, the United States and Russia are the three countries.

Those capable of launching satellites into space can be counted on two hands.
