Super technology leader

The successful test flight of the American Adventure Star "Spaceplane" shifted people's attention again.

From the space station to space vehicles.

Yes, the average person's attention is so easily diverted.

A little guidance is all it takes.

And it must be said that airplane-type space vehicles are more attractive than rockets.

Professionals analyze from various perspectives, making trade-offs between technological advancement and practicality before drawing conclusions.

But the vast majority of netizens and laymen don't bother with that, they just look at the appearance.

In their simple judgment, the Adventure Star "Spaceplane" is more awesome than rockets!

It is worth noting that this refers to "any rocket," even the new Long March 9, which can carry 200 tons and is recoverable, is not as good.

This is the "information" they get from science fiction movies and games.

After all, professional materials are not easy for everyone to understand, but science fiction movies and games, which are originally aimed at the general public, are much easier to understand.

Often due to science fiction definitions and visual needs, airplane-type spacecraft are more awesome and look cooler than round spacecraft.

Moreover, because the American science fiction industry is the most developed, the most powerful spacecraft in various science fiction works are American. Now it is reasonable for America to have a kind of "real-most powerful" spacecraft, and people basically accept it without any sense of incongruity.

After all, in science fiction movies, the Americans even beat aliens to the ground.

Even though Pathfinder's Dart-class orbital shuttle is already in use, its small size and low payload are its "original sins."

The only thing that outsiders recognize, and even the high-intensity publicity of the Americans cannot cover up, is that Tang Chao, as the BOSS of the company, personally drove the orbital shuttle with passengers to space.

This is really awesome!

The Adventure Star is very awesome, but it is only in the experimental stage, and it has not transported any equipment.

It seems that the Americans have also noticed this situation, or they had planned it long ago. After the Adventure Star successfully returned to the ground, NASA announced the complete success of the first test flight, and then announced a new plan.

"Next launch, we will carry some inflatable space station equipment."

This plan is clear, but also somewhat vague.

The clear goal is easy to understand. The next launch will not be empty, it will be loaded with cargo, which also shows that they are very confident in the Adventure Star, and one test flight is enough.

Moreover, in the previous competition, one of the reasons why the inflatable space station could not directly crush the others was that there was nothing inside, not even the "partition wall" in the demonstration design. It was really just a large open space.

This time, transporting some equipment over will definitely increase the value of the inflatable space station.

But the vague part is here.

No one is stationed in the inflatable space station. If the Adventure Star is to transport the equipment up, who will move and install it?

The "robots" tested in the International Space Station?

No, that thing cannot perform tasks independently.

Or simply dock with the International Space Station and let the astronauts in the International Space Station be the installers?

That's not right either. The two space stations are not on the same orbit, and there is no news that the International Space Station is going to dock with such a big thing.

Or is it that this time the Adventure Star will not only deliver goods, but also transport people together?

If that's the case, it's too bold, isn't it?

The inflatable space station is fine. It has been in space for several days, and various data and tests have shown that it is completely fine and astronauts can move in. It's just that there is no food supply and not much air to breathe.

If the Adventure Star can send these things up by the way, it can become a construction site and allow the first batch of space workers to work for a long time.

There is no need to install a space toilet, the empty inflatable space station has an original one, maybe they have considered it that way.

Many people noticed this, and as a result, they searched the information released by NASA but couldn't find the corresponding information.

NASA did not say that there would be anyone on this launch.

But people think that NASA will definitely not let the Adventure Star carry those devices to space for a spin, and then fly back intact.

That would be too idiotic.

"There is no information at all, this is not like the American style, what's going on?"

"I don't know, wait a minute, we'll know when Gro Company's equipment is transported to the launch center, and when the Adventure Star launches for the second time."

"I feel that the Adventure Star is so awesome. Has it been maintained as soon as it returned to the ground? It immediately took on a new mission, and the maintenance time is even shorter than that of the Pathfinder Company's Dart-class orbital shuttle."

"You probably don't know what it means to do things at the same time. Even if the finished product of the Adventure Star is awesome, how could its experimental machine be maintained well in five minutes after its first launch and return? The transportation of inflatable space station equipment takes time. It just uses this time difference to do inspections and upgrades, making it seem like it doesn't need to be repaired and upgraded."

The newest novels are first published on Six 9 Books!

"Okay, this is very reasonable. The American propaganda power is too strong, it actually made me ignore this point."

"I think... hey, there's new news on the American shore, I'm looking... I rely on, they really want to carry people on this launch, it's so awesome!!"

"What? I'll go see too!"

Indeed, although some people guessed that it would carry people, when the American Space Agency officially released the news that it would carry people, people were shocked.

After all, guessing is guessing, and guessing is often not responsible, it's purely guessing.

But now the American Space Agency is actually playing for real, has their technology really reached this point?

In the beginning, the Dart-class orbital shuttle flew empty and carried cargo many times before carrying people, and with the development of Pathfinder Company, people realized how awesome Pathfinder Company's technology is, and even it had to do many tests before carrying people. The Americans are doing this... isn't it rash?

For standard safety procedures, it is indeed rash, but from a technical point of view, it is not too rash.

How to say, it has the taste of the last space race.

It's just that the current technical guarantees are much stronger than they were at that time, and the astronauts of the national team also have this awareness. Two astronauts have already signed an agreement to ride the Adventure Star into space.

However, they will not be the drivers this time, they will only be cargo porters and assemblers on the spacecraft, and the flight of the Adventure Star will be fully automated.

This topic has already been picked up, but before it could ferment, Pathfinder Company held a press conference.

"The official start date of the space tourism project is set for January 25."

As soon as this news came out, who cares whether the Americans are putting astronauts on board!

From January 25th, everyone can be an astronaut!!

"Damn, I'm shocked, our chance is here, I want to go to space too!"

"Ah, I've been waiting for this day for too long! Count me in!"

"Space, here I come!"

"I found that many famous space experts have posted articles saying that they want to ride the orbital shuttle to space to see the places they have been researching but have never actually touched."

"Some space research institutes have already allocated funds. They are reluctant to spend tens of millions of dollars, but they are willing to spend one million dollars, and because Pathfinder Aerospace Company stipulates that passengers have a luggage allowance of 20 kilograms, they can bring some experimental equipment into space! Amazing!"

"Everyone's thinking is good, but you have to grab a ticket, there are only 8 places on a shuttle!"
