Just as China was cheering for the heroes' triumph, the news of the return of the Xiangrui spread throughout the world through reports from the overseas edition of the Central Media, as well as public statements from NASA, ESA, Roscosmos and other agencies. every corner.
In such a public opinion environment, the direction of the local media in North America began to change.
Just as he said to his secretary earlier while standing in the satellite control room.
The man continued: "What guarantee do you have?"
Almost everyone reacted with surprise after hearing the news.
Because he knew that his proposal was quite risky.
But even so, he still insisted and pressed his right hand on his chest to swear.
"Adventure?" The president frowned, looked at Carson and asked, "What adventure?"
The man continued: "What guarantee do you have?"
White House.
"Adventure?" The president frowned, looked at Carson and asked, "What adventure?"
"Just do what he said and send the life support unit to Mars for testing." Seeing what the annoying guy was going to say, the president tapped the conference table with his pen. "We have no time to waste. People in China After starting this competition, every minute is precious to us!”
Among many media outlets, the CNN Current Affairs Channel, which has the sharpest views, even called for the establishment of a special investigation team to verify NASA's budget lists over the years, claiming that there may be shocking shady secrets.
Prior to this, the North American media had been reporting interviews with relevant NASA experts, believing that although the Xiangrui has a 25-ton earth-moon transfer orbit carrying capacity, due to the hasty moon landing plan, it may eventually face the same failure as the Soviets. ending.
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a discussion in front of the conference table.
For a time, NASA was also overwhelmed by the excited people.
"Adventure?" The president frowned, looked at Carson and asked, "What adventure?"
However, reality is like a slap in the face, not only hitting them in the face, but also shattering their illusions.
"Just do what he said and send the life support unit to Mars for testing." Seeing what the annoying guy was going to say, the president tapped the conference table with his pen. "We have no time to waste. People in China After starting this competition, every minute is precious to us!”

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a discussion in front of the conference table.
…
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a discussion in front of the conference table.
He usually has a low sense of presence. Only on such occasions can he show his sense of presence to others.
"Of course, we have come up with a response strategy ... and we have communicated with our vice president before the meeting began."
The president frowned: "...Is this also called a plan? And if I remember correctly, the testing of the life support unit is not over yet."
Either way, taking the blame and resigning are the only options.
"Of course, we have come up with a response strategy ... and we have communicated with our vice president before the meeting began."
Xiangrui not only successfully returned to the Jinling Space Launch Center, but also safely brought back three astronauts and lunar soil with a total weight of more than one kilogram.
Even if they don't want to admit it, they have to face a terrible reality.
However, all these achievements sound far less shocking than the moon landing.
Using his eyes to signal the man who had stood up earlier to sit back, the president then cast a meaningful look at Director Carson.
Although deep down he didn't agree with this risky approach, he couldn't care less about it at the moment.
Even if they don't want to admit it, they have to face a terrible reality.
"Just do what he said and send the life support unit to Mars for testing." Seeing what the annoying guy was going to say, the president tapped the conference table with his pen. "We have no time to waste. People in China After starting this competition, every minute is precious to us!”
All Americans who are concerned about this matter can't help but feel full of questions and even anger.
"He's right."
Upon hearing this, Carson almost spit out a mouthful of blood.
Prior to this, the North American media had been reporting interviews with relevant NASA experts, believing that although the Xiangrui has a 25-ton earth-moon transfer orbit carrying capacity, due to the hasty moon landing plan, it may eventually face the same failure as the Soviets. ending.
"Of course, we have come up with a response strategy ... and we have communicated with our vice president before the meeting began."
"When China was landing on the moon, what were our people doing?" 》
After walking to the main seat and sitting down, the president looked around the conference table and stared at NASA Administrator Carson for two seconds. Then he withdrew his gaze and said bluntly: "I need an explanation."
China, which has achieved cornering overtaking in the aerospace field through electric propulsion systems, is catching up with them at an incredible speed.
Among many media outlets, the CNN Current Affairs Channel, which has the sharpest views, even called for the establishment of a special investigation team to verify NASA's budget lists over the years, claiming that there may be shocking shady secrets.
"That's true, but time no longer allows us to wait any longer. As you said, if it doesn't have any major problems, we should believe that our technicians have done their best," he took a deep breath. In a tone of voice, Carson continued, "If we omit some troublesome procedures, we can send it to Mars in half a year at the fastest... No, only two months! We can send it to Mars!"
"I chatted with Mr. Carson for a while before the meeting started, and his proposal was quite good, although a bit risky."
Carson was speechless and didn't know how to answer when the president suddenly spoke.
Although the vice president is just a mascot in American politics and may not be as powerful as the governor of New Jersey if he is not a political strongman, he can still play a role at certain times.
Today it’s a lunar module and a flag, but what will it be tomorrow? What about the day after tomorrow
Among many media outlets, the CNN Current Affairs Channel, which has the sharpest views, even called for the establishment of a special investigation team to verify NASA's budget lists over the years, claiming that there may be shocking shady secrets.
The man continued: "What guarantee do you have?"
In the face of an excited public, it is obviously not just NASA that is troubled. When an incident has enough to affect national cohesion and the votes in voters' pockets, it is not just a technical issue, but a political issue.
Aren't you asking for an explanation
"He's right."
The president turned his attention to the vice president, and saw the thin old man sitting on the deputy seat at the conference table nodding his head and speaking at a lukewarm pace that made people mad.
Without comparison, there is no gap. Although it cannot be said that NASA's research in the field of outer space has made no progress in the past half century, the pace of development has undoubtedly been much slower. Now that China has set foot on the moon, NASA's lunar space station plan will not be launched until 2022. The Ares project has been making noise since its announcement until now, and no actual action has been seen.
Shet!
In such a public opinion environment, the direction of the local media in North America began to change.
"Director Carson, can I take a guess, are the troublesome procedures you refer to the 'necessary testing links'?"
"Sometimes we should be flexible, especially when facing an adversary that is adaptable. Isn't that what the National Space Council was created for?"
Either way, taking the blame and resigning are the only options.
"Ladies and gentlemen, please take a seat."

Coincidentally, just when the New York Times began to criticize NASA out of love and hate, the Los Angeles Times and the Washington Post also criticized NASA's inaction from different angles and questioned its actions. Where exactly is China's funding, which is several times or even dozens of times that of China's, used every year

What on earth is their NASA doing
Sure enough, a serious-looking middle-aged man stood up, stared at Carson sharply, and spoke.
Carson and the deputy director looked at each other, finally took a deep breath, stood up and said.
NASA needs a win.

Although the vice president is just a mascot in American politics and may not be as powerful as the governor of New Jersey if he is not a political strongman, he can still play a role at certain times.
The president said with a bad face: "Since there is no way to predict, please stop your farts. What I need now is a solution, not to listen to you explain your incompetence!"
For a time, NASA was also overwhelmed by the excited people.
After the Columbia tragedy, few people dared to do this!
"That's not the case. The test doesn't have to be in the desert of Arizona, it can also be in the desert of Mars," Carson said immediately. "We can send the life support unit up first, and then start it remotely to confirm whether it works. . If possible, we will send astronauts up there."
"Just do what he said and send the life support unit to Mars for testing." Seeing what the annoying guy was going to say, the president tapped the conference table with his pen. "We have no time to waste. People in China After starting this competition, every minute is precious to us!”

Carson was also sweating on his forehead.
"This... there is no way to predict it. Before solving the thrust problem, we must first solve the problem of controllable fusion miniaturization."
Aren't you asking for an explanation

However, reality is like a slap in the face, not only hitting them in the face, but also shattering their illusions.

Knocking on the table interrupted Carson's chatter. The president reached out and pinched his eyebrows and said impatiently.
Either way, taking the blame and resigning are the only options.
For a time, NASA was also overwhelmed by the excited people.
But even so, he still insisted and pressed his right hand on his chest to swear.
The administration has promised to keep America great.
NASA needs a win.
After a short moment of silence, he coughed slightly and continued.
In fact, if the evaluation is fair, the achievements made by the United States in the field of aerospace in recent years are not small. The boundaries of its exploration have even reached Pluto, and the two Voyager probes have set foot in areas outside the solar system.

After all, no matter how far the detector flies, it is still a detector. It is far less stimulating to people's senses than human beings taking a step forward into realms beyond the earth.
For example, when the NSC is reorganized and put in charge by the Vice President himself.
Almost everyone reacted with surprise after hearing the news.

Before solving the problem of miniaturization of controllable fusion, we must first solve the problem of controllable fusion. Although his intuition tells Carson that solving the problem of controllable fusion miniaturization may not be as difficult as imagined, at least not as difficult as the controllable fusion project itself, it is useless to analyze these things now.

"Adventure?" The president frowned, looked at Carson and asked, "What adventure?"
Xiangrui not only successfully returned to the Jinling Space Launch Center, but also safely brought back three astronauts and lunar soil with a total weight of more than one kilogram.
In a certain conference room.
China, which has achieved cornering overtaking in the aerospace field through electric propulsion systems, is catching up with them at an incredible speed.
The president turned his attention to the vice president, and saw the thin old man sitting on the deputy seat at the conference table nodding his head and speaking at a lukewarm pace that made people mad.
The man continued: "What guarantee do you have?"
Just as he said to his secretary earlier while standing in the satellite control room.
White House.
"I chatted with Mr. Carson for a while before the meeting started, and his proposal was quite good, although a bit risky."
All Americans who are concerned about this matter can't help but feel full of questions and even anger.
When the current president walked in, everyone stood up to show their respect.
"I chatted with Mr. Carson for a while before the meeting started, and his proposal was quite good, although a bit risky."
All Americans who are concerned about this matter can't help but feel full of questions and even anger.
For example, when the NSC is reorganized and put in charge by the Vice President himself.
Carson was speechless and didn't know how to answer when the president suddenly spoke.
Carson was also sweating on his forehead.
He usually has a low sense of presence. Only on such occasions can he show his sense of presence to others.
In front of the same conference table as last time, except for a few unfamiliar faces, the same people as last time were sitting.
Although the vice president is just a mascot in American politics and may not be as powerful as the governor of New Jersey if he is not a political strongman, he can still play a role at certain times.
"how long it takes?"
The administration has promised to keep America great.
White House.
"how long it takes?"
After the Columbia tragedy, few people dared to do this!
In the face of an excited public, it is obviously not just NASA that is troubled. When an incident has enough to affect national cohesion and the votes in voters' pockets, it is not just a technical issue, but a political issue.
Prior to this, the North American media had been reporting interviews with relevant NASA experts, believing that although the Xiangrui has a 25-ton earth-moon transfer orbit carrying capacity, due to the hasty moon landing plan, it may eventually face the same failure as the Soviets. ending.
For example, when the NSC is reorganized and put in charge by the Vice President himself.
Just as he said to his secretary earlier while standing in the satellite control room.
Either way, taking the blame and resigning are the only options.
Carson was also sweating on his forehead.
But even so, he still insisted and pressed his right hand on his chest to swear.
Knocking on the table interrupted Carson's chatter. The president reached out and pinched his eyebrows and said impatiently.
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a discussion in front of the conference table.
In many cases, the president cannot directly care about matters in the aerospace field. In most cases, coordination is done by the Executive Office of the President and the vice president himself.

Either way, taking the blame and resigning are the only options.
Just as China was cheering for the heroes' triumph, the news of the return of the Xiangrui spread throughout the world through reports from the overseas edition of the Central Media, as well as public statements from NASA, ESA, Roscosmos and other agencies. every corner.
Carson took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "My suggestion is to immediately start the first phase of the Ares project and send our life support unit to Mars!"
"This... there is no way to predict it. Before solving the thrust problem, we must first solve the problem of controllable fusion miniaturization."
Prior to this, the North American media had been reporting interviews with relevant NASA experts, believing that although the Xiangrui has a 25-ton earth-moon transfer orbit carrying capacity, due to the hasty moon landing plan, it may eventually face the same failure as the Soviets. ending.
The president frowned: "...Is this also called a plan? And if I remember correctly, the testing of the life support unit is not over yet."
In many cases, the president cannot directly care about matters in the aerospace field. In most cases, coordination is done by the Executive Office of the President and the vice president himself.
"I promise you."
"That's true, but time no longer allows us to wait any longer. As you said, if it doesn't have any major problems, we should believe that our technicians have done their best," he took a deep breath. In a tone of voice, Carson continued, "If we omit some troublesome procedures, we can send it to Mars in half a year at the fastest... No, only two months! We can send it to Mars!"
"Mr. Carson, I hope to open the champagne with you in two months and celebrate our success at the White House banquet. Please don't let me down, otherwise no one will sympathize with you!"
Although deep down he didn't agree with this risky approach, he couldn't care less about it at the moment.
"Of course, we have come up with a response strategy ... and we have communicated with our vice president before the meeting began."
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a discussion in front of the conference table.
…
China, which has achieved cornering overtaking in the aerospace field through electric propulsion systems, is catching up with them at an incredible speed.
"That's true, but time no longer allows us to wait any longer. As you said, if it doesn't have any major problems, we should believe that our technicians have done their best," he took a deep breath. In a tone of voice, Carson continued, "If we omit some troublesome procedures, we can send it to Mars in half a year at the fastest... No, only two months! We can send it to Mars!"
"Ladies and gentlemen, please take a seat."
"Director Carson, can I take a guess, are the troublesome procedures you refer to the 'necessary testing links'?"
Carson was also sweating on his forehead.

In a certain conference room.
Although deep down he didn't agree with this risky approach, he couldn't care less about it at the moment.
Hearing the president mentioning himself, the vice president smiled slightly and stretched out his hand to straighten the tie on his chest.
Because he knew that his proposal was quite risky.
After the Columbia tragedy, few people dared to do this!
As a result, he had no other choice at all.
Although deep down he didn't agree with this risky approach, he couldn't care less about it at the moment.
…
In other words, this is no longer just an adventure, but a gamble, with the lives of astronauts as bets.
"Director Carson, can I take a guess, are the troublesome procedures you refer to the 'necessary testing links'?"
When the current president walked in, everyone stood up to show their respect.
After the Columbia tragedy, few people dared to do this!
"Mr. Carson, I hope to open the champagne with you in two months and celebrate our success at the White House banquet. Please don't let me down, otherwise no one will sympathize with you!"
However, all these achievements sound far less shocking than the moon landing.
Sure enough, a serious-looking middle-aged man stood up, stared at Carson sharply, and spoke.
Upon hearing this, Carson almost spit out a mouthful of blood.
"Mr. Carson, I hope to open the champagne with you in two months and celebrate our success at the White House banquet. Please don't let me down, otherwise no one will sympathize with you!"
Because he knew that his proposal was quite risky.
"Director Carson, can I take a guess, are the troublesome procedures you refer to the 'necessary testing links'?"
After a short moment of silence, he coughed slightly and continued.
The president turned his attention to the vice president, and saw the thin old man sitting on the deputy seat at the conference table nodding his head and speaking at a lukewarm pace that made people mad.
"We talked about China's determination in the aerospace field... and its technical strength. Their application of electric propulsion systems exceeded our expectations. Before this, we had never thought that electric propulsion would be possible if the power and working fluid were sufficient. It can provide thrust comparable to that of chemical rockets. Facts have proved that the electric propulsion system is also feasible for climbing gravity wells. At present, we have cooperated with PPPL Laboratory, MIT and other research institutions to improve the electric propulsion system... "
Faced with the challenge from the advisor to the Executive Office of the President, Carson bit the bullet and explained: "The testing phase is not necessary... In fact, we can technically ensure that the life support unit can operate stably for at least two days with sufficient power. Years and above.”
Although the vice president is just a mascot in American politics and may not be as powerful as the governor of New Jersey if he is not a political strongman, he can still play a role at certain times.
After all, according to the results of the negotiations, it will be at least next year before the two parties can reach a technical exchange in the field of controllable fusion.
The man continued: "What guarantee do you have?"
Prior to this, the North American media had been reporting interviews with relevant NASA experts, believing that although the Xiangrui has a 25-ton earth-moon transfer orbit carrying capacity, due to the hasty moon landing plan, it may eventually face the same failure as the Soviets. ending.

Carson was speechless and didn't know how to answer when the president suddenly spoke.
"I promise you."
The target of the media's attack is still NASA, but generally speaking, it won't take long for this fire to be burned on the White House...
In front of the same conference table as last time, except for a few unfamiliar faces, the same people as last time were sitting.
In fact, if the evaluation is fair, the achievements made by the United States in the field of aerospace in recent years are not small. The boundaries of its exploration have even reached Pluto, and the two Voyager probes have set foot in areas outside the solar system.
If not…

Carson took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "My suggestion is to immediately start the first phase of the Ares project and send our life support unit to Mars!"
"He's right."
After the Columbia tragedy, few people dared to do this!
After all, no matter how far the detector flies, it is still a detector. It is far less stimulating to people's senses than human beings taking a step forward into realms beyond the earth.
However, these promises need to be fulfilled and cannot be fooled by casual talk.
America needs a win!
However, these promises need to be fulfilled and cannot be fooled by casual talk.
"Director Carson, can I take a guess, are the troublesome procedures you refer to the 'necessary testing links'?"
"Sometimes we should be flexible, especially when facing an adversary that is adaptable. Isn't that what the National Space Council was created for?"
Without comparison, there is no gap. Although it cannot be said that NASA's research in the field of outer space has made no progress in the past half century, the pace of development has undoubtedly been much slower. Now that China has set foot on the moon, NASA's lunar space station plan will not be launched until 2022. The Ares project has been making noise since its announcement until now, and no actual action has been seen.
All Americans who are concerned about this matter can't help but feel full of questions and even anger.
However, all these achievements sound far less shocking than the moon landing.
If not…
But even so, he still insisted and pressed his right hand on his chest to swear.
Using his eyes to signal the man who had stood up earlier to sit back, the president then cast a meaningful look at Director Carson.
Hearing the president mentioning himself, the vice president smiled slightly and stretched out his hand to straighten the tie on his chest.
Shet!
After all, no matter how far the detector flies, it is still a detector. It is far less stimulating to people's senses than human beings taking a step forward into realms beyond the earth.
He usually has a low sense of presence. Only on such occasions can he show his sense of presence to others.
"That's not the case. The test doesn't have to be in the desert of Arizona, it can also be in the desert of Mars," Carson said immediately. "We can send the life support unit up first, and then start it remotely to confirm whether it works. . If possible, we will send astronauts up there."
…
"how long it takes?"
The target of the media's attack is still NASA, but generally speaking, it won't take long for this fire to be burned on the White House...
That meaningful look caused a few strands of cold sweat to break out on Carson's forehead.
Among many media outlets, the CNN Current Affairs Channel, which has the sharpest views, even called for the establishment of a special investigation team to verify NASA's budget lists over the years, claiming that there may be shocking shady secrets.
Prior to this, the North American media had been reporting interviews with relevant NASA experts, believing that although the Xiangrui has a 25-ton earth-moon transfer orbit carrying capacity, due to the hasty moon landing plan, it may eventually face the same failure as the Soviets. ending.
The president's words caused many people to whisper. The person who had previously challenged Director Carson hesitated, but still spoke stubbornly.
For a time, NASA was also overwhelmed by the excited people.
In fact, if the evaluation is fair, the achievements made by the United States in the field of aerospace in recent years are not small. The boundaries of its exploration have even reached Pluto, and the two Voyager probes have set foot in areas outside the solar system.
Sure enough, a serious-looking middle-aged man stood up, stared at Carson sharply, and spoke.
What on earth is their NASA doing
"Mr. President, I must remind you that this is not in accordance with procedure."
"I promise you."
The administration has promised to keep America great.
The target of the media's attack is still NASA, but generally speaking, it won't take long for this fire to be burned on the White House...

Before solving the problem of miniaturization of controllable fusion, we must first solve the problem of controllable fusion. Although his intuition tells Carson that solving the problem of controllable fusion miniaturization may not be as difficult as imagined, at least not as difficult as the controllable fusion project itself, it is useless to analyze these things now.
Carson was also sweating on his forehead.

"When China was landing on the moon, what were our people doing?" 》
In a certain conference room.

Aren't you asking for an explanation
America needs a win!
In front of the same conference table as last time, except for a few unfamiliar faces, the same people as last time were sitting.

If not…
From cynicism about China's aerospace technology, it turned into "anger" against NASA. Especially the New York Times, which adopted the opinions of NASA experts in several interviews. However, after the report was published, they were repeatedly slapped in the face, so that this time they finally did not invite NASA experts, but directly He pointed his gun at NASA and put a line of gunpowder-filled headlines on the headlines of the latest edition of the newspaper—
"Of course, we have come up with a response strategy ... and we have communicated with our vice president before the meeting began."

Carson and the deputy director looked at each other, finally took a deep breath, stood up and said.

For a time, NASA was also overwhelmed by the excited people.
As a result, he had no other choice at all.
Coincidentally, just when the New York Times began to criticize NASA out of love and hate, the Los Angeles Times and the Washington Post also criticized NASA's inaction from different angles and questioned its actions. Where exactly is China's funding, which is several times or even dozens of times that of China's, used every year
However, these promises need to be fulfilled and cannot be fooled by casual talk.
As a result, he had no other choice at all.
Even if they don't want to admit it, they have to face a terrible reality.
"Just do what he said and send the life support unit to Mars for testing." Seeing what the annoying guy was going to say, the president tapped the conference table with his pen. "We have no time to waste. People in China After starting this competition, every minute is precious to us!”
Carson was speechless and didn't know how to answer when the president suddenly spoke.

Almost everyone reacted with surprise after hearing the news.
