Today is space with you [Issue 1376]
There are still two days to go Chinese New Year's Eve festival, and the pace of the year is getting closer and closer. "Family sitting idly, the lights are amiable". Home is the most powerful "gravity"; reunion is the eternal theme of the Spring Festival. Looking up, in this festival with the most weight in the hearts of Chinese, the Shenzhou XIII astronauts who are "traveling" in the vast space are running at a speed of 7.6 kilometers per second in their homes at an altitude of 383 kilometers above the ground.
Looking down and looking closely, at this moment of resignation and welcoming the new, the land of Shenzhou, hundreds of measurement and control equipment guard the "space homeland" day and night, thousands of astronauts push the promise of reunion again and again, with the unity and cooperation of the gear bite, bringing together data from all directions to Beijing...
Between the pitches, the flying "Heavenly Palace" and the silent persistence constitute a different scenery in the New Year.
Between pitches, in this group of busy figures, we always feel that something is shining. It is invisible, but it is everywhere; it is shadowless, but indestructible. It is a spirit, a gesture, and a source of strength that is soaked in the blood of Chinese astronauts.
Hardships and hardships, Yuru Yucheng; entrepreneurship is difficult, struggle to succeed. People still remember that shortly after the founding of New China, Senior General Chen Geng asked Qian Xuesen, who had just returned to China, for advice: "Can we Chinese build missiles?" Qian Xuesen replied without hesitation: "What can't be done, foreigners can build, we Chinese can also build." ”
In the following decades, how many people resolutely returned to China in the face of preferential treatment from abroad; how many people faced the contrast between "building missiles is better than selling tea eggs"; how many people were willing to keep poor and sit on the "cold bench" for a long time; how many people faced the superiority and prosperity of the city, concentrated on calming down, and took root in the desert Gobi; how many people faced the multiple choices of interests and values, willingly spilled their blood, from green silk to white hair... With the perseverance and spirit of trying to be bold and striving to be strong, and with the wisdom and wisdom of Chinese, the "two bombs and one star" shake the mountains and shake the mountains, the manned Shenzhou soars into the sky, and the "Tianzhou" and "Tiangong" space build dreams... Chinese astronauts wrote "everything for the motherland, everything for success" in the vast space. The precious spiritual wealth they have accumulated and created, shining with dazzling brilliance and vigor, and blooming with spiritual strength that moves the heavens and the earth, have become the symbols and symbols of China's aerospace industry, as well as an important part of the spirit of the Chinese nation, along with missiles, rockets, satellites, spaceships, space stations, and other major power heavy weapons, and have inspired generations of Chinese to stride forward on the journey of climbing the peak of science and technology and realizing national rejuvenation.
People look up at the stars and pay attention to spaceflight, precisely because the background of struggle is timeless, but also because dreams and struggles are always the keywords of life, and vigorous efforts are the unchanging main theme. Many people know that the magic of the "Chang'e 5" lunar sampling return, but may not know that the guidance elements used are thousands of parameters, each parameter contains more than a dozen valid numbers, and more than 100,000 numbers must be read and checked by many people in turn; many people know that the hand-controlled rendezvous and docking mission known as "space piercing needle" is extremely challenging, but may not know that the astronauts have trained more than 1500 times on the ground to complete this mission; many people know that Jing Haipeng has entered space 3 times. But you may not know it, that's because in his 50s, he is still the same as himself when he joined the army, with unchanged dreams, unchanged persistence, unchanged seriousness and day-to-day hard work... The moving scenes that abound in China's aerospace tell us all the time: realizing dreams, there is no shortcut to lying down and winning, only the journey of struggle.
Dreams are boundless, the pace is non-stop; the spirit of struggle is inherited. When Shenzhou V was launched, the center of the accusation was full of white-haired older astronauts; now looking around, there are more energetic young people under the launch tower, in the measurement and control hall, and on the measurement ship. They took over the "torch" in the hands of the older generation, took the aerospace industry that needed to "withstand hardships and endure loneliness" as a lifelong ambition, and became a new generation of successors who explored the sky.
In the face of the increasingly brilliant lights of thousands of families, there is no wanderer who does not want to be reunited with his family, but these young strivers interpret another "New Year's flavor" in their posts. Listen, in the Beijing Aerospace Flight Control Center, the "Beijing Understand" team composed of "post-90s" is still issuing a calm "Beijing Understanding" to ensure the smooth connection between heaven and earth; look, in the Chang'e team and Shenzhou team with an average age of 33 years old, the Beidou team and the Tianlu team with an average age of 35 years old, countless figures are still busy as usual, hundreds of thousands of screw buttons, exquisite carving, data smoke, stripping cocoons... They guard the mission in their thoughts, show responsibility in details, and embody value in perseverance, depicting the most beautiful "dedication blessing".
Starlight does not ask the passers-by, history belongs to the strivers. In a few days, the three astronauts will join us in the "Heavenly Palace", bid farewell to the old and welcome the new in the vast space, and at the same time, open the prelude to another space year. Shenzhou 14 is ready to go, the construction of the space station is about to be completed, and the "Tianwen" and "Zhu Rong" will reveal the new mysteries of Mars... New dreams are at hand, new journeys are under your feet. The achievements of the motherland and the spirit of the times have given us the power to pursue our dreams, and we are also waiting for us to continue to ignite the engine of progress with struggle, pull upward strength, and run to a broader sea of stars!
