In the conference room of building 12 of Kennedy Space Center, seven people hold the study manual just issued by NASA in their hands, with different expressions.
"This sixty page thing is just a catalog?" The fat man felt extremely collapsed. "We need to learn basic rocket physics, aerodynamics, orbital dynamics, jet propulsion, Astronomy I can understand all these, but what about life science, geology and materials science? And I can't even understand the title of electronic engineering. How can we learn so much in 55 days? "
"To remind you, these are only theoretical parts." The boy who looks like a high school student said.
"What's next?" The fat man said in despair.
"Physical training, EVA (extravehicular walking), space orientation obstacle training, spacesuit training, familiarity training, driving training, emergency escape training Anything is possible. After all, Apollo 11 was a space program 50 years ago. To be honest, I'm not sure what kind of training we have in this era. " The boy who looks like a high school student said that his face is not very good-looking.
He was the most excited one among all the players. For a space enthusiast, there is nothing cooler than flying into space in a spacecraft. What's more, he is one of the most important events to participate in the human history node. Although he can only insert the American flag on the moon, it's a bit of a fly in the ointment, but after all, it's only in the game, and it won't affect the reality, but it's not so good It's hard for him to laugh when he really gets the manual and remembers how many things astronauts have to learn.
"The circle of destiny?" The strong man named Anthony raised his mouth and showed a sarcastic smile, "then you should be able to go to heaven directly."
"In fact, there is no need to be so pessimistic," the middle-aged intellectual pushed his glasses on his face. "There are three positions on Apollo 11, that is, in addition to the skills that astronauts must master, each of us can purposefully give up some training, choose a main attack direction, and complement each other..."
However, he was interrupted before he finished. A tall and thin young man who looked a little listless said, "come on, uncle, since everyone is playing in a single row except the fat man over there, it's better not to treat other people as idiots."
He yawned and said lazily, "don't tell me you didn't notice that Captain William kenhouse, with a small book in his hand, would write something in that book when each of us came down from the multi axis training machine. If there is no accident, he should be grading our performance, which must be related to us Who can be on Apollo 11, who will be the substitute, you let us purposefully give up some training, specialize in some training, but three sixty points add up to more than 80 points
The middle-aged man, who looked like an intellectual, pushed his glasses and said, "I'm just offering you a plan to increase your chances of survival after liftoff..."
"The premise is that we have to be able to sit in the command and service module of Apollo 11 first, don't we?" High school students.
"Actually If we really want to count, we have a great chance of being selected. " The middle-aged man, who looks like an intellectual, said leisurely.
"The half to half chance is normal." A strong man named Anthony frowned.
"Not half." High school students seem to think of something and their eyes light up.
"What?" The listless young man turned his pen.
The high school student's eyes turned to the only female player in the copy. The latter raised her eyebrows and said, "how?"
"It's a pity that you may have entered the wrong copy this time. If our game is difficult, your game is likely to be hell this time."
"How can I see it?"
"You don't know much about America in the 1960s, do you?" The middle-aged man, who looked like an intellectual, gave a gentle smile.
"Marilyn Monroe, the Beatles, Bob Dylan Is there anything else worth mentioning in this era? " Asked the girl.
"Although the civil rights act of 1964 has come into force, it is a pity that discrimination still exists, not only against people of color, but also women. This is why women's rights movements were frequent in the 1960s and 1970s. Women were rarely allowed to join the jury, and the loans they received from banks were only half that of men, while the interest rate was half as high."
High school students answered, "few people know that NASA once implemented a plan to determine whether women could become astronauts in 1960. 25 female pilots were invited to accept the same examination and assessment as the male astronauts in the" Mercury "program, and 13 of them passed."
"What happened to them?"
"Although the 13 women received the same assessment and training as the male astronauts, the officials never announced that they were reserve astronauts, nor did they plan to enter the space flight. It is said that this is because NASA's management believes that the female astronauts will waste rare resources and distract the public's attention from the male astronauts, in case they are injured during the mission Injury or death can also have a negative public effect, so NASA terminated the training program for female astronauts in 1963. "High school students pause, "but it has to be mentioned that in the same year, the Soviet Union sent the first female astronaut Valentina Tereshkova into space, which is very ironic."
"So if I want to get on Apollo 11, not only do I have to perform well, but I have to pray that captain kenhouse, who gave us the marks, and the top management of NASA, are all forward-looking and have no prejudice against women?"
"I'm sorry, I'm afraid so."
"That's too bad." The girl tried to squeeze out a reluctant smile on her face. She was sitting close to Zhang Heng. After hearing this, her buttocks moved to Zhang Heng's side, and her body almost stuck to the latter.
"Five into three, so we're lucky this time." The strong man named Anthony had a look of joy on his face.
"The time is so tight this time. I suggest that we live in peace in this copy. We all rely on our own abilities to see who gets the highest score in the end will win the main task." The middle-aged man, who looked like an intellectual, said and looked at the only one in the room who had never spoken.
Anthony, a strong man and a high school student, also turned their eyes to Zhang Heng. Although a young man who didn't wake up didn't look back, the pen he had been turning in his hand stopped at this moment.
Zhang Heng has been sitting in the corner, quietly turning the study manual, smell speech finally raised his head, closed the manual in his hand, light way, "I refuse."
