Chapter 287

"Google will land on the moon soon, and alphabet may create a new pattern and era for human space exploration!" ——The front page of the New York Times.

"Once again, mankind is heading for the moon, but this time it is sponsored by a company, which belongs to the pride of the United States: alphabet!" ——Empire magazine front page headlines.

"Has Apple's xbelos been able to fight back?" ——AFP global hot spots.

"The alphabet umbrella company may become a new pattern to further promote commercial space exploration after Elon Musk's space exploration technology company SpaceX." ——The Wall Street Journal.

In the days when quantum computers occupy the content of science and technology circle, alphabet umbrella company has won the headlines of major mainstream media in the world.

A few days ago, alphabet umbrella company announced a super heavy news at a press conference.

After 15 years of ambitious Google, xprize lunar landing plan has been postponed again and again, and finally announced the end of ticket skipping. Today, it is really going to land on the moon!

Google's moon landing project is a landmark project. It will be the first space exploration activity initiated and organized by a non-state nature in the world, which is of pioneering significance.

As early as 15 years ago, in June 2007, Google announced its first ambitious plan for the moon. At that time, it also triggered another heated discussion about the moon in the world.

Google's lunar project is led by Google, followed up by Otis company of Germany, and the German team of scientists together with Google, now the alphabet umbrella company, led the Google lunar xprize project, which was officially launched in 2007.

Over the course of 15 years, Google has prepared too much for this masculine project. At the end of 2007, the xprize Foundation launched a science and technology competition for the space exploration project. Google immediately sponsored and personally participated in the xprize competition, aiming to promote the development of commercial space exploration, so as to help its own lunar landing plan.

In the whole process of Google xprize lunar landing project, no government or country will play any role. It can be said that it is completely initiated by the people.

The xprize foundation has to be mentioned.

Xprize foundation was jointly founded in 1995 by technology tycoon Elon Musk, Hollywood director James Cameron, Google founder Larry Page and apple apple founder Steve jobs.

Xprize foundation is a global non-profit organization. It holds various kinds of science and technology competitions to promote the scientific and technological innovation and development of all mankind. Up to now, xprize foundation has launched 15 science and technology competition projects, involving new materials, aerospace, marine exploration, human gene and other hot frontier fields.

In the space technology competition launched by xprize foundation in 2007, Google has made great profits. In this competition, xprize and Google asked the teams to complete an unprecedented task, that is, to land safely on the surface of the moon with a private spaceship. At the same time, they must complete a 500 meter mission on the surface of the moon, and display high-definition video and pictures Like back to earth, the winning team will receive a $20 million award from Google, with an additional bonus of $4 million if water is found on the moon. In 2007, it was a priceless reward.

Although Google's xprize lunar landing plan is ambitious, this space technology competition is only one part of Google's lunar landing plan, which can be said to be a technical reserve, but the difficulties are one after another. At first, the deadline of this project was set at the end of 2012, then it was postponed to the end of 2015, and the last one was postponed to the end of 2020 Bundle.

With the delay of the plan, awards are also increasing. By 2020, the bonus of the project plan has increased from the initial $2000 to $70 million. Although it has increased several times, due to inflation, compared with the $20 million in 2007, there is no much increase. Compared with Google, the increase of bonus amount is also due to inflation.

The repeated bumps of the plan are enough to show that the ideal is beautiful, and the reality is very skinny. But then again, dreams always have to come true?

In 2022, the dream is within reach.

Google xprize lunar landing project is an unprecedented international space exploration activity, including 16 teams from countries of all continents.Google xprize lunar landing project claims that its purpose is to stimulate scientists and entrepreneurs from all over the world to participate in the exploration and development of commercial space. Its significance is not only that research and landing on the moon will end. Google claims that in the future, it will create a new era of human space exploration.

What's more, the participating organizations of xprize lunar landing program, an international cutting-edge scientific and technological activity, have once again been "kicked out" by China.

It seems no surprise that China was "kicked out" in the xprize plan in 2007. Looking back on the major international joint science and technology projects in various fields in the past, China was almost kicked out. In the field of space exploration, the most typical is the international space station. Even Brazil participated in it, but China was kicked out. For the Chinese people at that time, this was extremely angry and helpless.

However, this did not stop the country and nation's yearning for space exploration and the pace of attack. Under the situation that the European and American countries strictly guard against technology, she just walked out of an independent road.

Today, the only space station in outer space in the world has only one flag on its surface. The over 500 ton "Tianzhou" is a symbol of pride, firmness and boldness of this country and nation.

At present, China is not only the only country in the world who wants to be engaged in space research activities, but also the only one who can not wait for the space station.

Although China has announced that it welcomes all major countries to enter the "Tianzhou" and make contributions to promoting the development of space exploration technology for all mankind, it must show enough "sincerity". It is impossible to let you in without benefits.

Today's China is far from being comparable to that in 2007. One by one, China has entered the embrace of this oriental country one after another. Today, China's influence and status in the world, whether in economy, science and technology, has become more and more important.

More and more international joint projects, China's shadow is also involved.

In the past year, a lot of news has been coming out. Xprize foundation is contacting technology giant xlous and social overlord Facebook, hoping that its founder can join the ranks like other technology giants in the world, and contribute a little bit to the advancement of human science and technology.

However, matrix technology has not made any official response to this rumor. I think that if xprize foundation does not have the name of the industry tycoon, it will certainly be a bit tarnished.

As time approaches, Google will land on the moon, and the global vision will converge under the umbrella company of alphabet.
