What's hottest on the Internet lately?
"The Wandering Earth" and "Sand Sculpture Netizens"!
"The Wandering Earth" should be clear to everyone, but what about "sand sculpture netizens"?
I don't know when it started, on Weibo, "sand sculpture netizen" became a positive word.
This group of "sand sculptures" is funny and humorous, and talented, and the spit is even more to the point, bringing countless joys to people, to relieve the huge pressure brought by life, for a period of time, their status even rose to a time:
Sand sculpture netizens, save my dog's life!
So what happens when "The Wandering Earth" and "Sand Sculpture Netizens" collide together?
(2005 anime Tom and Jerry: A Journey to Mars)
Don't be in a hurry to laugh, the sand sculpture netizens on space may soon become real!
The British "Guardian" reported that NASA (National Aeronautics and Space Administration) will openly recruit "sand sculptures" to land on Mars!
Sand sculpture netizens, our opportunity has come!
American expert: Sand sculpture is really important!
According to the British "Guardian" report, at the annual meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, Jeffrey Johnson, an anthropologist at the University of Florida, gave a speech entitled "Building a Winning Team for Missions to Mars".
Professor Johnson said: "When there is a person on the [Mars] expedition team who plays the role of a clown, the team work is done better. ”
Of course, the translation here is clown because in the professor's speech, "Jokers" and "class clown" were used.
Although in our conception, the clown is probably like this:
But in fact, here, what the professor wants to say should be the sand sculpture teammate we usually say.
However, since it is a scientific researcher, especially a scientific researcher like the one who performs a mission on Mars, it is probably a meticulous, serious person, and even a little difficult to communicate.
So why would Professor Johnson suggest that NASA recruit some sand sculpture teammates? Is there something discordant about this style?
For this, the professor also gave an explanation:
Mars is too far from the earth, Mars is closest to the earth is also 55 million kilometers, the farthest can reach 400 million kilometers, according to the calculations of scientists, a one-way travel time can reach 8 months, and then counting the mission, the researchers from departure to return is likely to take more than 2 years, and in such a long time, they are facing very little communication, monotonous scenery and huge mental pressure.
At the same time, each communication between astronauts and Earth will be delayed by 20 minutes due to excessive distance.
What does that mean? For example, when the astronaut asks what time it is, the earth returns to 6 o'clock, and when the astronaut hears this sentence, the earth is almost 6:30...
NASA has done a test, in the case of only 50 seconds of communication delay, astronauts will feel a decline in happiness, frustration rises, and ultimately affect the completion of the mission, not to mention the 20-minute delay.
And with the sand sculpture teammates, the loneliness of these 20 minutes is gone...
Professor Johnson said:
"These people (sand sculpture teammates) have the ability to build cohesion, fill gaps when tensions arise, and boost morale."
"We can now also think of the people who play this role in our daily work. These people bring joy and make working hours more enjoyable, and people love to stay with them. ”
"If you're living with other people in a cramped space for a long time, like on a mission to Mars, relationships can become strained, and this person can help everyone get along, which is critical."
see! Sand sculpture also has a place to play!
You don't have to think that this is the "words of the brick family", in history, this is actually a case:
In 1910, the Norwegian explorer Roald Amundsen selected the tall, lively and humorous chef Adolf Lindström to travel to the South Pole together. Because he believed that the joie de vivre of Lindström could relieve the stress of leaving home and the long polar nights.
Later, Amundsen wrote in his diary: "His contribution to the Norwegian polar expedition is greater and more valuable than anyone else."
Professor Johnson also concluded: "Having someone who can help everyone get along, so that everyone can get through the work and go home safely, is the most critical and final task." ”
"Sand sculptures" also have spring
Although this is only the point of view put forward by Professor Johnson in his speech, and NASA has not made an official response to it, Professor Johnson's explanation has attracted the attention of a large number of sand sculpture netizens.
They have said: "waste firewood" for many years, and now finally have a place to use!
Netizens have also introduced themselves, thinking that there is no more suitable "sand sculpture" than themselves!
Chinese netizens have also joined in, enthusiastically recommending suitable candidates, for example, some people recommend Shen Teng, a teacher who grows on a laughing point
Someone recommended Guo Degang, who accompanied countless people to sleep
However, considering that the English level of these two is really not good, everyone finally decided to elect Mr. Bean as a representative
In the end, the homepage Jun found an extremely powerful speech
(Here is a metaphor for US President Trump)
Of course, in addition to Trump, foreign netizens have also filled in the alternate list of other politicians, Hillary Clinton, Obama... None of them could run away
From it, we can see the position of Trump and others in the hearts of foreign netizens.
Of course, in addition to recommending candidates, there are also netizens discussing, what should these "sand sculpture teammates" do to mediate the atmosphere?
Sneaking a fart in a teammate's spacesuit before a spacewalk?
I could do it, and my wife imprisoned me in a small space for almost 20 years! I could do a paper about what a fart would be different under 0 gravity.
This person must have a sense of humor! And be ready to eject yourself out of outer space when you tell a cold joke!
I have to say that when the sand sculpture netizens all over the world gather together, it is really very talented...
But in fact, Professor Johnson also said that this is definitely not a job that can be done just to be funny.
"Funny isn't enough to get someone to get a job. They also need to be good scientists and engineers and be able to pass a rigorous training system. ”
In this way, this job is actually very strict, and if you think about it, the most suitable is Howard in "The Big Bang Theory"...
The polytechnic man is humorous enough to repair the telescope, but unfortunately, Howard may faint the capsule.
But don't be afraid, there are other alternative answers, I don't know how the Star Lord in the Marvel Universe is? Can drive, can repair, and even can hardly dance awkwardly with everyone...
In fact, we ridicule these great researchers as "sand sculptures", but I believe that everyone can also understand that the core of such "sand sculptures" is actually the spirit of never giving up, and maintaining an optimistic attitude at any time, which is one of the most precious qualities in the face of difficulties.
If you can, the homepage jun also hopes that everyone can become such a "sand sculpture", not only to bring joy to people, but also to bring their courage to face difficulties.
According to scientists' predictions, around 2030, humans will begin to officially try to open up Mars.
Counting about ten years, the homepage jun decided to improve my sand sculpture level, and maybe I would be the first sand sculpture to land on Mars.
