In other words, the direct takeoff to the moon plan is the most difficult of the four plans. It requires a powerful super rocket that can fly to the moon in one go. After the mission is completed, it can take off again and fly back to the earth. Secondly, the flight process

The time must be accurately grasped, otherwise the difference will be a thousand miles. The biggest advantage of this plan is that the moon landing time is shorter, simpler, and more efficient.

The American Athena lunar landing program chose the option of taking off directly to the moon, and the Athena 1 spacecraft has already flown out, which shows that people have mastered this technology.

The rocket that accompanied the Athena spacecraft to the moon is called the "Space Launch System". When it comes to the Space Launch System, people on earth must give a thumbs up, because this rocket is very extraordinary, only worse than China's Long March 10.

Just a small cut. Well, we're already being humble.

The Space Launch System was prepared for America's landing on Mars. It has been tested n times and has very few flaws and is almost perfect. Landing on the moon using a Mars-landing rocket is not a joke. The rocket has a two-stage and a half structure.

The launch mass is 4,500 tons, the height is 130 meters, the low earth orbit carrying capacity is 210 tons, and the earth is stationary

The orbital carrying capacity is 40 tons, and it can transport 53 tons of cargo directly to the moon and 64 tons of cargo directly to Mars. In front of the space launch system, the Saturn V that implemented the Apollo program will be eclipsed, and the former Soviet Union's Energia will also be ashamed.

You have to lower your head, only China's current Long March 10 can be slightly better.

America's lunar landing plan, which had been interrupted for half a century, was started again, named "Project Athena". The ultimate goal of Project Athena is not only to land on the moon, but to build a moon on the moon that can support human survival.

Station. We believe that the space launch system is worthy of the important task and will definitely fulfill its mission.

It only took a few minutes for the space launch system to fly to an orbit more than 300 kilometers above the earth's surface. The first lap of the orbit missed the lunar entry point, and it is now running the second lap. If you are lucky, the second lap will be

You can fly towards the moon in one circle. If you are unlucky, you can make ten or eight circles.

When the Space Launch System successfully took off with the Athena spacecraft, the whole of America was boiling. President Austria immediately sent a congratulatory message to the launch center.

The successful takeoff of the spacecraft is only the first step in a long journey of thousands of miles. In the next two days of the journey, it will face many tests. Whether it can finally successfully land on the moon is still unknown. Of course, most of

People are positive that the Athena 1 spacecraft can successfully land on the moon. After all, the cost of billions of dollars for a single moon landing is no joke.

After the spacecraft flies into outer space, people on earth cannot see it with the naked eye unless they use a space telescope. The impact of the Space Launch Center's super rocket that is live broadcast on TV at the moment is what was captured by several space telescopes launched by America earlier.

, the lens is very blurry, but I can still watch it.

In the control room of the Kennedy Space Center in Florida, many staff members are busy in an orderly manner. Even though the spacecraft has successfully launched into the sky, everyone's nerves are still tense. Perhaps, they can only wait until the astronauts complete their mission and return successfully.

Only then can they feel relieved. The commander-in-chief of this mission is named Daniel Felton. He is an experienced expert in the aerospace field. This is his promotion to Kenny.

It was the first time since he was the director of the Di Space Center that he was responsible for the spacecraft mission to the moon. He was excited, but besides being excited, he also felt that Alexander. The spacecraft was the crystallization of cutting-edge technology, even though he was wearing iron armor and had an iron body.

, but it is extremely fragile. A small sloppiness or omission may destroy this Iron King Kong. The former Challenger was shut down because of a small omission, and all seven astronauts were killed.

Director Felton walked around the busy space command center and listened carefully to the reports of his subordinates. Half an hour later, the spacecraft successfully entered the entry point and flew towards the moon.

"Tracking OK."

"Speed ​​31090 kilometers per hour."

"Height 538235 meters."

"Sii level ignition."

"Sic and sii separated successfully."

…

Director Felton went around the command center to take stock of the overall situation, so that he could know all the indicators of the flying spacecraft in the sky. At present, it seems that everything is normal with the Athena spacecraft, and it is very lucky.

After flying two times in the earth's orbit, it entered the entry point and flew towards the moon. If the Athena spacecraft continues to be so lucky, it can land on the moon in as little as ten hours, which is much faster than the Apollo moon landing.

A middle-aged engineer in a white coat hurriedly ran to Felton with several documents in his hand and said, "Director, you should take a look at this."

"Oh, John, what is this?" Director Felton asked.

The engineer in the white coat is named John. He is a cosmic astronomer and has made great achievements in lunar research. His current task at the space center is to observe the moon and provide technical support for the landing of the Athena spacecraft.

John looked serious and said: "The moon, the moon seems to be moving."

"The moon doesn't move, does it mean it's stationary?" Felton asked rhetorically, not understanding the deeper meaning of John's words for a while.

"Director Felton, you may not believe it. If my observation data are correct, the moon's rotation speed is slowing down, but its revolution is speeding up." John.

"How much faster? How much slower?"

"The rotation is at least 20% slower. Compared with the orbit's supposed revolution speed, the revolution is 30% faster."

…

John's observations are unmistakable. The moon is indeed changing, its rotation is slowing down, its revolution is speeding up, and all of this is caused by the Atlanteans on the moon. If you fly to the dark side of the moon at this time

If you look at it, you will find that there are no less than fifty jets emitting flames on the dark side. Each jet is ridiculously large, comparable to a super volcano eruption on the earth, no, even bigger than a super volcano eruption on the earth.

violent.

When time passed for another half hour, the moon's changes became more obvious, it became redder, its revolution speed in the earth's orbit became faster, and all the artificial satellites orbiting the moon also failed.

This incident made Director Felton of the Kennedy Space Center panic. He didn’t know what happened on the moon, but he knew that it would be unwise to land on the moon now. All the satellites on the moon had failed. If the space launch center flew too far,

At a certain distance from the moon, its signal will also fail, and signal failure means mission failure.

Disaster struck. An emergency meeting was held in the command center. After ten minutes of discussion, the participants reached a unanimous decision to interrupt the Athena-1 mission and allow the spacecraft to return. Immediately afterwards, Director Felton made the decision
Chapter completed!
