Back to 1980: Please Love Me Again

Chapter 339 Kennedy Space Center

Beautiful country, Kennedy Space Center.

Since 2003, "effective science popularization activities and public participation activities" have been regarded as "one of the main goals of every NASA agency and every mission."

It is based on the purpose of education and science popularization that NASA cleverly connected the mystery of the aerospace industry with the curiosity of the public, and transformed a part of the Kennedy Space Center into a space science popularization theme park.

In this way, tourists have the opportunity to get close to the spacecraft assembly building, spacecraft transportation channel, rocket launch pad and other facilities.

However, it is 1985 now.

As Chinese people, it is naturally impossible for the Zhao Wenmu brothers and sisters to come into close contact with these things.

Even if there is a chance, Zhao Wenmu will definitely turn around and leave with his sister.

If you think about it with your ass, you know, this must be fishing law enforcement!

Do the world's police do too little? !
However, it is allowed to watch the space launch center from a slightly longer distance. After all, a large number of ordinary people watch here every day.

Although the distance is a little farther, it is still very clear.

"Mr. Zhao, we came here by coincidence. The locals said that the space shuttle is being transferred right now!"

Xiao Wu, who got out of the car and inquired about the situation with the locals, returned to the car and happily talked to Zhao Wenmu.

Along the way, Xiao Wu and several security personnel did their best to ensure the safety of Zhao Wenmu and Zhao Wenmu, but also tried their best to let them have fun.

In three days, traveling more than 3000 kilometers, several security guards were exhausted.

Had it not been for such a herd of cattle and horses, Zhao Wenmu would not have chosen to drive there.

There are many beautiful small airports, and it is also a good choice to rent a small plane to fly there.

Space shuttles and launch vehicles do not stand on the launch pads all the time. In fact, they are transferred from other places to the launch pads only before launch.

When the few people arrived at the viewing position, many people from the Beautiful Country had already gathered around them.

Everyone has long guns and short cannons in hand, holding cameras, video cameras, and binoculars to look at the launch center not far away.

Some people sat around on the grass, set up a barbecue grill, and had a small barbecue with beer on the spot.

Everyone talked and laughed, looking very relaxed.

The oriental faces of the Zhao Wenmu brothers and sisters did not attract the attention of the people of the beautiful country, but the heavily armed security personnel around them aroused the curiosity of the people who eat melons.

"Hey buddy, who are you protecting?"

Someone asked very curiously.

"No comment."

Wearing sunglasses, the tall Caucasian security guard arranged his equipment and said expressionlessly.

Half of this security team is from Xiangjiang, and half is from the mainland of Pretty Country.

Although they belong to the same security company.

After all, only the security personnel from the beautiful country are eligible to legally hold guns, and the security personnel from Xiangjiang are more trusted by Mr. Rong and Zhao Wenmu.

If they are really in danger, the latter will sacrifice their lives to protect their employers, while the former will just work for money.

Of course, security personnel will not discuss employer information with others under any circumstances, which is also their basic professional ethics.

Zhao Wenmu and his team did not interfere with other people watching the launch center. They found a relatively empty place and took out their own telescopes.

The binocular focusing military binoculars are not very friendly to beginners who are just using them. Zhao Wenqiu adjusted them for a long time but still couldn't see clearly.

The little girl threw the binoculars into Zhao Wenmu's arms and angrily looked directly at it with the naked eye.

In fact, the naked eye can also clearly see the two towering mechanical monsters in the launch center, namely the famous 39A and 39B launch pads. More than 100 space shuttle launches and manned missions to the moon were completed here.

To be honest, Zhao Wenmu was extremely shocked when he saw the launch pad.

These two launch pads are very different from the highly photogenic launch tower in the Huaguo Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center in his impression. The launch tower in Jiuquan has a regular appearance and looks almost like a slender, upright square. Very concise.

If it weren't for the various steel structures exposed halfway, it would look more like a slender residential building.

Of course, it's definitely aesthetically pleasing.

The two launch pads of Pretty Country are different. They look bloated and huge, with various complex structures. If you have to use one word to describe it, Zhao Wenmu thinks it should be said:

They have a domineering beauty of Soviet aesthetics of violence.

Although it looks messy, all kinds of steel structures are pieced together irregularly, forming a strange looking stitch monster.

But I have to admit that Zhao Wenmu likes this kind of violent aesthetics.

Men, it's normal.

Zhao Wenmu handed the adjusted telescope back to Zhao Wenqiu, who took it over with disgust, muttering:

"This launch pad is so ugly, I always feel that it will suddenly transform into a monster later, turn around and crawl away."

Zhao Wenmu was ashamed when he heard that, this is not a Transformer.

Transformers are not so big.

You must know that the total weight of a launch pad has reached more than 2000 tons!

Through the telescope, everyone can clearly see the space shuttle erected not far from the launch pad.If you look closely, you will find that the space shuttle is actually erected on a crawler carrier platform.

If you look more carefully, you will find that the platform is actually moving slowly.

It's just that its speed is too slow. If it weren't for the telescope to clearly see that the track is moving, it really wouldn't be possible to tell whether it was moving or not.

"Wow! Brother, look, look! There is a man next to the track, this tracked car is really big!"

Zhao Wenqiu shouted excitedly, and at the same time kept moving his feet, as if he wanted to find a more suitable position.

Zhao Wenmu hastily pulled her.

This girl is holding a binoculars and can't see what's going on under her feet at all. It will be a disaster if she falls into the mud.

Viewed from this distance, neither the space shuttle nor the tracked platform seems very large.

However, compared with the staff walking near the platform, it can be found that the height of the four crawlers has exceeded the height of two adults, and the height of the platform on it is at least twice that of the crawlers!
The tracked platform and the space shuttle on it are truly giants!

Looking at the Challenger space shuttle not far away, what Zhao Wenmu thought was that this thing is so big, how can it be stolen from the separated big brother's house, er, no, and brought back?

The Soviet Union's Buran and Little Bird space shuttles will certainly not be smaller than those of the beautiful country.

Big Brother is not the type to do such a thing!

big head!

The delivery vehicle has to be prepared in advance, Zhao Wenmu thought to himself.

"Brother, why is the space shuttle lying on top of that big orange can, is that a rocket?"

Zhao Wenqiu pointed to the Challenger and asked curiously.

There is a very thick orange cylinder on the ventral side of the towering space shuttle on the delivery platform, and there are two thin white cylinders beside it.

It looks a lot like a rocket.

In fact, not only Zhao Wenqiu has this question, many people think it is a rocket.

"Of course not, are you stupid!"

How could Zhao Wenmu miss the opportunity to ridicule Zhao Wenqiu.
