Chapter 691 NASA’s Helplessness

After two blog posts, the entire scarf exploded like a drop of water in hot oil, immediately becoming a hot search topic.

Not only because of the content of the scarf, but also because of the person who posted these two scarves.

The father of controllable nuclear fusion, academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the Chinese Academy of Sciences, winner of the Nobel/Fields Medal, and the prover of the three major and seven millennium problems.

Any title that can be pulled out is the best in the world, let alone one person.

This is a miracle of the times, a scholar who lives in reality in the textbook.

On the scarf, the second piece of space travel copy was quickly ranked as the top trending search by many netizens, and it spread to the entire platform and even the external Internet.

【Fuck! Is Sichuan God open for business? 】

【Space travelling? Travel to the moon? Travel to Mars? 】

[The two words business are used well. As long as the 1998 brackets are ‘ten thousand meters of gold’, you can meet the God of Sichuan (squinting smile)]

[If you do the math, 90 million soft girl coins are close to 100 million, which is money I will never make in my life. 】

【This is a trip I don’t deserve to take a look at! 】

【Conscientious price! NASA also wanted 65 million rice gold and 300 million soft girl coins, but Sichuan God only received one third. 】

[I suddenly realized that one day, NASA said that it could conduct space travel, and the next day, Kawasaki showed up and said that its own was cheaper. Is this trying to steal business? (dog head)]

[Kawashen: "I don't like to hear the word robbing business. Isn't this giving benefits to everyone? After all, I only receive one-third of NASA's money."]

Those who pay attention to this piece of scarf information are not just the netizens who eat melons on the Internet.

Many people who are interested in space travel, especially those at the top, were very excited after receiving this message.

As early as when NASA and SpaceX started the space travel business, many of these rich people were interested.

Sixty-five million meters of gold, although the price is a bit expensive, it is worth it to go to space, overlook the earth and appreciate the beauty of the universe.

There are even many rich people who are preparing to sign up for NASA's space travel project after the "SpaceX Crew Dragon" commercial spacecraft completes its first space travel and proves the safety of this travel.

As a result, before they could take action, Xu Chuan's scarf came out.

For 19.98 million meters of gold, you can travel to space for less than 20 million meters of gold. For those who have already regarded money as numbers, it is not too cheap.

And more importantly, the Xinghai Research Institute’s space shuttle is safer and more comfortable than NASA.

Professor Xu, Prince Faisal of the Middle East, and Prince Ahmed Abdulrahman of the United Arab Emirates all boarded the Xinghai space shuttle and came down safely.

By comparison, it’s clear which one is trustworthy.

If it wasn't 100% sure, how could Hua let Professor Xu go up?

Aside from safety, there is also comfort that many wealthy people pay attention to, which is also an attractive focus.

After all, space travel has always placed high demands on the physical fitness of 'passengers'. When the spacecraft is launched, the strong acceleration can be said to be difficult for most ordinary people without training to survive.

Especially for these wealthy people, comfort is undoubtedly a basic condition that they care about.

Obviously, NASA's "SpaceX Crew Dragon" spacecraft cannot match the comfort level of the Xinghai.

After all, Professor Xu personally said publicly that traveling in space is just like taking an ordinary civilian airliner.

Although the ordinary civil aviation journey is not very comfortable for them, it will undoubtedly be better than the "CrewDragon" spacecraft of NASA and SpaceX.

For a time, the top wealthy people were all excited.

Meanwhile, on the other side.

In the United States, at the NASA headquarters in Washington.

Director Bill Nelson looked at the news in his hand with a look on his face.

Xu Chuan's information on space travel scarves and soliciting tourists posted online was, as expected, transmitted to the United States and NASA.

In other words, they have been collecting each other's information.

Some things that are openly public, such as Xu Chuan's arxiv account, Twitter, scarf and other accounts, it can be said that most countries are paying attention to him and are always collecting information about him.

After all, for such a scholar who stands at the top of academic and scientific circles, his research direction and trends are undoubtedly one of the most noteworthy information.

After seeing the two scarves, Bill Nelson's face looked so ugly, as if he had swallowed up all the bad things together, as gloomy and heavy.

It is NASA's approach to launch the "SpaceX Crew Dragon" commercial spacecraft together with SpaceX and Musk to start space travel.

After the Artemis lunar module encountered problems landing on the lunar South Pole, they have undoubtedly fallen behind in the first round of the new space race.

The launch of space travel can, on the one hand, restore some of their decadent momentum in the aerospace field during this period and prove that the United States is still the world's number one aerospace power.

On the other hand, some funds are obtained from space travel as NASA's funds.

Although NASA receives a budget of 20 to 30 billion yuan from Congress every year, to be honest, their funds and budget are not sufficient, and can even be said to be quite scarce.

After all, with these two to three billion, there is too much that needs to be done.

Not only space exploration, but also various aspects of work such as earth science research, biophysical research, aerospace research, technology research and development, etc.

For NASA, shortage of funds is an ongoing problem.

If space travel can be used to obtain some funds from those wealthy people, it will undoubtedly alleviate a lot of pressure.

Just like the "SpaceX Crew Dragon" commercial spacecraft this time, the cost of a space trip is as high as 65 million gold for one person, and 19.5 billion for three people.

This number can almost reach one percent of NASA's total annual budget.

If they can expand this business, launching more than a dozen batches of space travel a year will be enough for them to make a fortune.

And in addition to these, the development of space travel can also help them obtain more experience and data. It can be said to be a huge benefit.

But with Professor Xu's scarf, you can tell with your toes that their plan has basically collapsed.

A space travel solution that is safer, more comfortable, and cheaper than their "SpaceX Crew Dragon" commercial spacecraft is the right choice for everyone.

On the sidelines, NASA Deputy Administrator Bill Gerstenmaier looked at the news and shook his head and sighed.

Although they didn't know whether the other party did it intentionally, there was no doubt that Professor Xu was the stumbling block in front of them.

From the moment the other party entered the aerospace field, everything began to go wrong for NASA. It restarted the manned moon landing and failed. This was a huge blow to the entire NASA and even the entire United States.

And now, when they launch their space travel plan, the other party has stepped forward to seize this market share.

What's even more helpless is that they don't even have any means to counter this.

After all, purely from a spacecraft perspective, Xinghai, which uses the legendary technology of small fusion reactors and electric propulsion engines, has surpassed them.
