I Have 48 Hours a Day

Vol 2 Chapter 28: Not half

In the conference room of Building 12 of the Kennedy Space Center, seven people held the study manuals just issued by NASA in their hands, with different expressions.

"It's just a catalog of more than sixty pages?" The fat man felt extremely collapsed. "To learn basic rocket physics, aerodynamics, orbital dynamics, jet propulsion, astronomy ... I can understand these, but life science What about geology and materials science? I do n’t even understand the title of this electronic engineering. How can we learn so much in 55 days? "

"Remind you, these are only theoretical parts," said the boy in high school.

"What's next?" The fat man said in despair.

"Physical training, EVA (out-of-cabin walking), space orientation training, space suit training, familiarity training, driving training, emergency escape training ... anything is possible. After all, Apollo 11 was already fifty years ago. The space project is here, and to be honest, I ca n’t be completely sure what kind of training was in this era. "The boy who looked like a high school student said, his face was not very good-looking.

He was originally one of the most excited players. For an aerospace enthusiast, there is nothing cooler than flying in space on a spacecraft, let alone participating in one of the most important events in human history nodes, although It ’s a bit inadequate to only insert the American flag on the moon, but it ’s only in the game, and it will not affect the reality, but when he really got the manual and remembered how much the astronaut had to learn, it was hard to laugh anymore. Come out.

"Destiny ring?" The strong man named Anthony raised his mouth with an ironic smile. "Then you should be able to go to heaven directly."

"In fact, there is no need to be so pessimistic," the middle-aged man who looks like an intellectual pushed the glasses on his face. "Apollo 11 has three positions, which means that in addition to the skills that astronauts must master, we Everyone can give up some training purposefully, choose a main attack direction and complement each other ... "

However, his words were interrupted before he finished speaking, and a thin young man who looked a bit slouched began, "Forget it, uncle, since everyone except the fat man over there is playing in a row. People, it's better not to treat others as fools. "

He yawned, lazily, "Don't tell me you didn't notice. The captain William Kenhouse had a small book in his hand when each of us got off the multi-axis trainer. He would write something in that book. If nothing else, he should be scoring our performance, and these scoring must be related to who among us can go to Apollo 11, who will be a substitute, you let We purposely gave up some training and specialized in some training, but the sum of three sixties and ten is much higher than one eighty. "

The middle-aged man who looked like an intellectual pushed the glasses, his face was not changed, "I just provide you with a solution to increase your chances of survival after being lifted off ..."

"That premise is that we have to be able to sit in the Apollo 11 command \ service cabin first," said the high school student.

"Actually ... if we really want to count, we are still very likely to be selected." Middle-aged people who looked like intellectuals said lightly.

"Half-to-half chance, can only be said to be normal." The strong man named Anthony frowned.

"Not half." The high school student seemed to think of something and his eyes lit up.

"What?" The listless young man turned the pen in his hand.

The high school student's eyes turned to the only female player in the copy, who raised his eyebrows, "how?"

"Sorry, you may have entered the wrong copy this time. If the difficulty of our game is difficult, then this time your game difficulty is likely to be hell."

"Why do you see it?"

"You don't know much about America in the 1960s, do you?" Middle-aged men who looked like intellectuals smiled gently.

"Marilyn Monroe, The Beatles, Bob Dylan ... Is there anything worth mentioning in this era?" The girl asked in return.

"Although the Civil Rights Act of 1964 has come into effect, it is a pity that discrimination still exists, not only against people of color, but also women, which is why the feminist movement was frequent in the 1960s and 1970s. Are rarely allowed to join a jury, and receive only half the men's loans from banks, while paying half the interest. "

High school students took the conversation, "Few people know that NASA implemented a program to determine whether women can become astronauts in 1960. 25 female pilots were invited to accept the same as the Mercury male astronauts. Inspections and assessments, of which 13 passed. "

"What happened to them?"

"Although the 13 women received the same assessment and training as male astronauts, they were never officially announced as reserve astronauts and there were no plans to arrange them for space flight, which is said to be because NASA management believes that female astronauts Rare resources will be wasted ~ www.readwn.com ~ Distract public attention to male astronauts, and if they are injured or die while performing a mission, it will also have a negative public effect, so NASA terminated female aerospace in 1963 Training plan for staff. "

The high school student paused. "And I have to mention that in the same year, the Soviet Union sent Valentina Tereshkova, the first female astronaut in mankind, into space. It's very ironic. "

"So I want to board the Apollo 11 and not only have to perform well, but also have to pray that Captain Kenhouse who scored us and the senior members of NASA are forward-looking people who have no prejudice against women?"

"Sorry, I'm afraid so."

"That's really bad." The girl tried to squeeze a slightly reluctant smile on her face. Zhang Heng, who was sitting there, was very close. After hearing this, her hips moved to Zhang Heng again. , The body is almost affixed to the latter.

"Five to three, that's pretty good luck for us this time." A strong man named Anthony showed a smile on his face.

"This time is so tight. I propose that we get along peacefully in this copy. Everyone has their own skills to see who scores the highest in the end and who can win the main task." The middle-aged man who looks like an intellectual, finishes, Looked at the only person in the room who had never spoken.

The strong man and high school student named Anthony also turned their attention to Zhang Heng. Although a young man who did not wake up didn't look back, the fountain pen he kept turning in his hand also stopped at this moment.

Zhang Heng has been sitting in the corner all the time, turning over the study manual quietly, Wen Yan finally raised his head, closed the manual in his hand, "I refuse."
