In less than 24 hours, the head of the space agency has been put forward for various meetings to answer these questions. I don't know how many times he has answered these questions. However, he can only talk about them in a general way. He does not know much about the specific things. After all, the time is so short that he can only read the reports and explanations given by his subordinates.
As for the big man who can directly affect the allocation of funds for his department, he certainly dare not stand up and say that you don't understand what meeting you are going to hold, so he said with a smile: "Mr. speaker, I think if you want to make people understand the whole story of this crisis more clearly, we still need to understand this asteroid.
It is the first time that many people, including the speaker, have participated in the discussion on the crisis. I think the person in charge of the near earth object Project Office of our department will introduce the asteroid issues to you. Do you think this arrangement is OK
Although the speaker is very dissatisfied with what he said, he also knows that this arrangement is also right. After all, many people, including him, do not care about asteroids and other things in their daily life. Now, we should understand it first to make a better judgment.
So he frowned and nodded: "yes, let's start with the arrangement you said."
Anthony, head of NASA, then smiles and looks at the person in charge of the near earth object program office next to him and says, "George, you're going to do the next job."
As the head of the near earth object program office responsible for monitoring the asteroid's trajectory, George rexa has no intention of resisting this arrangement. As a cold water yamen, he is willing to play a role in this critical moment, even if it is just to give these stupid politicians knowledge about small planets.
Because it can create better conditions for his department to obtain more funds and funds, he is really fed up with the first day his department will stop operating as soon as anything happens!
Moreover, it takes a long time to argue about the allocation of funds. Even the application for scientific research funds will not enter the deliberation process until it is delayed for a long time. Let alone the low pass rate, it is heartbreaking. As a cold water yamen, he knows the sorrow of himself.
So even if he knew that he was going to introduce the knowledge about the asteroid named 202203ev07 and popular science for his boss, he still stood up. As a person in charge of office politics, he certainly understood it. At this time, you don't carry the pot for the boss, and you still expect him to support your work?
"Thank you, Mr. President and Mr. speaker, and you are willing to listen to me. Your time is very important, so I will go straight to the subject." George rexa went to the big screen in the conference room and adjusted his ppt.
"What you can see from the video is our solar system. From this video, we can see that the earth we live on is relatively stable in the universe.
But a long time ago, our predecessors discovered through observation that there are many factors threatening the safe operation of the earth in space.
Such as the sunspot explosion, the gamma ray bursts produced by the explosion of stars outside the solar system, and the approaching of wandering black holes are all very terrible threats. If these dangers happen, the earth will face the disaster of being destroyed!
Of course, NASA is also very concerned about the potential threat factors in the universe. At present, there is only one of the most frequent and lethal things that will threaten our earth, that is, asteroids wandering around the universe!
Because all the celestial bodies in the universe are in relative motion, the distance between these asteroids and massive planets will change at any time.
In addition, even if the asteroid is very far away from the sun, its orbit is not a standard circle, and its distance from the sun will be different when it is in different positions, and its velocity will also be different.
As a result, the distance between the asteroids and the speed of revolution are also constantly changing, so that the asteroids inevitably collide with each other. As a result, the asteroids either disintegrate or deviate from their original orbit.
In this case, asteroids in the asteroid belt and the Kuiper belt are very unstable, and there is always a certain probability of escaping from the original orbit and dispersing in all directions at a certain speed.
Between the orbits of planets in the solar system, Mars and Jupiter, there is an asteroid belt, which is the hometown of meteorites. These asteroids run in their own orbits and constantly collide.
Sometimes they will change their orbits because of the gravitational effect of Mars and Jupiter. Especially those asteroids whose orbits are close to the earth will be knocked out of their orbits and run to the earth. This asteroid named 202203ev07 by the infinite gravitation group is such an existence! "
Seeing this, the speaker interrupted him and asked, "why can't you find it first?"
He has been asked this question countless times in less than 24 hours, so even if he was interrupted, he was not annoyed, but seriously and skillfully replied, "although we in the asteroid exploration experience and level are still leading the world.But that was before the infinite gravitation group did not officially deploy relevant probes in space. Now their company has formed a very complete monitoring network of solar system probes, so they can discover this asteroid named 202203ev07 when it has orbit variation.
At present, the number of detectors in orbit of our department is not even a fraction of that of their company. We have only 12 detectors in total. However, the number of detectors in various orbits of the solar system of infinite gravitation group has reached 2746. They are not satisfied with this number, and they are launching continuously according to the plan!
And their detectors are all very advanced technology detectors, more than 10 times more advanced than our only 12 oldest antiques which are almost 15 years old!
If we want to reach the detection level of infinite gravitation group, we must at least be equal to them in the number of detectors, so that even if our technology is a little poor, it will be enough! "
Of course, he is familiar with this problem. From the comparison of the numbers, we can see how big the gap between them is. As for the idiot problem of the speaker, he is speechless. Does that mean that I don't want to discover it so soon? I want to have infinite gravitation group, so many detectors I can do!
