Chapter 282

Less than 20 minutes after xiamawei on the multi axis training instrument, Zhang Heng and his group of candidate astronauts were pulled down by the transport vehicles.

Through the window, Zhang Heng saw a white main building, with the American flag on the right, NASA logo on the left, and an abstract sculpture of rocket launch on the side of the road.

"The Kennedy Space Center, located on the east coast of Florida in the east of the United States, started construction in 1962. The name was changed to commemorate the late President Kennedy." Excited a boy who looks like a high school student.

"According to the distance calculation, we should have been at Cape Canaveral Air Force base, where the mercury program, the Gemini program and the early Apollo missions all started, because there we can shoot rockets into the ocean, avoid bringing danger to the residential areas, and at the same time, we are closer to the equator, so we can make full use of the earth's autobiography to push the Rockets more However, because it could not match the "Saturn" 5 rocket, Kennedy Space Center later built a new launch base

"Wait, is Kennedy dead by this time?" Asked the fat man.

"Yes, he was assassinated in Dallas in 1963. Although he made a famous speech on landing on the moon, he did not personally see the American astronauts set foot on the moon." The high school boy shrugged.

"Ladies and gentlemen, do you need me to remind you that we are not here to travel, and now we should be more concerned about our own situation?" The strong man named Anthony frowned.

"Yes, it seems that our main mission is to go to the moon, or at least to outer space, but as far as I'm concerned, there is not much difference between the two."

"Why do you say that?" The only girl in this round of copies asked whether it was a coincidence that she chose the seat beside Zhang Heng when she got on the bus.

"Don't you know?" The high school boy picked his eyebrows and looked surprised.

"Apollo 10 took off at 12:49 on May 18, 1969. The captain said that the rocket was launched three days ago, that is to say, we entered the copy on May 21, 1969."

"So?" The girl blinked.

The boy leaned back in his chair and laughed at the girl, "Apollo 11 was launched on July 16, 1969, and Apollo 12 was launched on December 14, 1969, with a gap of nearly five months. Considering our copy deadline, so..."

"Didn't you say that there were any Gemini plans in the United States?"

"The Gemini program is a transition between the mercury program and the Apollo program. It started in 1961 and completed ten earth orbit manned missions, which ended in 1965."

The intellectual like middle-aged man said, "so if we want to complete this main task, we have only one chance, that is, to board Apollo 11." His expression was dignified.

As soon as the words came out, everyone's face changed, and the atmosphere in the carriage suddenly became very strange.

Only the fat man was still in a daze. "What's the matter, is Apollo 11 dangerous?"

"Danger?" The high school boy grinned, pointed to the NASA driver in front of him and said, "yes, after all, this is the first time that human beings have challenged to land on the moon. Not only do these ordinary people feel helpless, but even the scientists, engineers and astronauts in NASA are in a panic. But as latecomers, we are very clear about the end of this mission If it's a big win, the real problem we're facing is how to get on Apollo 11. "

"How many astronauts can we have on Apollo 11?" The girl asked everyone what they were most concerned about.

The high school boy put up three fingers. "As you all know, Command commander Neil Armstrong, lunar module pilot Buzz Aldrin, command service module pilot Michael Collins."

This time, even the fat man's face changed. He lost his voice and said, "three? But there are seven of us now. "

"Is this your first time to compete in a single player competition?" The strong man named Anthony sneered, "don't you know what competition means?"

"I I've been following the team before, and this is the first time I've been in the replica alone. " The fat man said with a sad face, "the difficulty of single copy is too high, more than half of the elimination rate, from small to large, all competitive projects, but my ranking is not even in the middle."

"Then why did you choose one person to act this time?" The girl asked with great interest.

"Because Because... " The fat man hesitated for a long time, but he could not tell why.

Finally, a strong man named Anthony uncovers his scar mercilessly, "because you are too weak to drag down your team, so you are driven out by the team members. As a result, you can't find another team willing to accept you, so you can only be reduced to your own single row."

Although the fat man didn't admit it, his instant pale face has proved that Anthony's words are correct from the side."Lucky, we'll lose a competitor for this copy." The high school boy put his hands behind his head and said with a smile.

The middle-aged man with gold glasses shook his head. "You are a little too optimistic. Apollo 11 successfully landed on the moon in history, but don't forget that it was Armstrong and his team who carried out the mission. If we were you, how many chances would you have to win?"

His words also let the car fall into silence again.

After a while, the strong man named Anthony said, "on the bright side, at least we have 60 days to train."

"Strictly speaking, it's 55 days, because Apollo 11 will be launched on July 16, and minus the isolation period before launch, our training time is only 48 days." "By the way, a professional astronaut usually takes two to three years to train. In the future, the deep space exploration mission will even last five years. The loading of experts and scientists is slightly better, but the shortest time is more than half a year."

"Why do you know so much about these things?" The girl said curiously, "no matter how you prepare, you won't go out of your way to collect this kind of unpopular knowledge. You can even remember the launch time of Apollo 10 so clearly, and it's accurate to minutes."

"Because I am an avid space enthusiast, this bureau is my destiny circle." The boy who looks like a high school student smiles confidently.
