With the progress of China's aerospace industry, ordinary people's emotions about the rocket ascension to the sky are no longer the excitement of Shenzhou 5.
This time, most people are even less interested in Shenzhou 18, even if the mission of Shenzhou 18 is important and significant, it is only reported by the media.
Why has people's enthusiasm for the aerospace industry faded so much?
The big mission of Shenzhou lift-off, no one cares
On April 25, 2024, the mainland Shenzhou 18 spacecraft was successfully launched, and now, this spacecraft has successfully docked with the space station, adding another great achievement to the mainland's aerospace industry!
Shenzhou 18 has many tasks, and its importance is not low, one of which is to protect the space station and prevent the impact of space debris.
The countries that explore space are not only continents, but all countries are involved, and as time goes by, there will be more space junk and space debris.
The mainland's satellites and space stations may be damaged by "debris impact", so the astronauts of the 18th should increase the protection of the space station.

In addition, Shenzhou-18 has many scientific research missions, such as breeding vertebrates - zebrafish in space, experimenting aquatic ecosystems in space to cultivate goldfish algae, and studying the adaptability of space plants......
Before Shenzhou 18, who would have thought that the mainland's space industry would also be able to study these "profound" space projects? Now, these projects have really come true!

However, the news of Shenzhou 18 going into the sky did not attract much attention, and few people discussed this matter except for the media.
After reading the comments of netizens, we realized that not only has people's enthusiasm for aerospace achievements decreased, but the perspective of the aerospace industry has also changed, and Musk's "Starlink Project" has a great impact on people!
Affected Chinese netizens
In terms of the speed of progress alone, China's space agency is more "impulsive" than the US space agency, and the US space agency has become more and more "politicized."
But there is another Musk in the United States, who led the spaceX team and developed the Starlink plan, which is still being implemented, but it still shocks mainland netizens.
After learning about the Starlink plan, many netizens were surprised by the spaceX team: the aerospace industry achieved by the mainland with the strength of the whole country was compared to Musk's aerospace team!
Before and after the launch of Shenzhou 18, Musk's rocket is about to go to the sky, and some netizens are a little frustrated compared with each other.
What is unique about Musk's Starlink plan, and why has mainland netizens' confidence in the Shenzhou series declined?
The most important feature of the Starlink plan is to realize rocket recovery through the rocket core first stage and fairing multiplexing test, which greatly reduces the cost of launching rockets.
In this way, Musk will be able to launch a large number of satellites into space in a short period of time and build a satellite network far beyond other countries. And the ultimate goal of this network is to make network and satellite services cover every corner of the earth.
At the end of January this year, Musk's Starlink satellites have exceeded 5,800, and throughout 2024, the SpaceX team has 144 rocket launches planned!
Now, Musk's Starlink plan has begun to bear fruit, and many foreign ships have begun to accept Starlink's services.

China and other countries also have maritime satellite communications, but the coverage and effect are not as good as Starlink, and the reason is simple: the number of satellites is not as large as Musk! As Starlink satellites continue to take off, this gap will further widen.
What's even more unexpected is that Starlink still has a big role in the military. During the Russia-Ukraine war, the United States provided Ukraine with 5,000 Starlink devices to assist Ukraine's battlefield communications.
The role of these Starlink devices is very critical, and those areas where the communication facilities have been destroyed rely on Starlink devices to maintain communication.
For example, Mariupol has been besieged for more than 40 days, and the city is in ruins, but it still releases news through the Starlink system. Starlink is already so powerful in the communication system alone, not to mention reconnaissance, satellite positioning and other functions.
Therefore, some netizens feel "discouraged" about the mainland's aerospace industry: Musk's Starlink is so powerful, is it possible for the mainland to catch up with the United States?
Of course, the netizens who care about the Starlink plan are only a minority after all, and most netizens ignore Shenzhou 18 and still think that life is a problem.
"Aligning with life"
Since the epidemic, the global economy has been sluggish, trade has not been too hot, and various countries have adopted quantitative easing and economic measures to stimulate consumption, especially the United States.
The economic relationship between the mainland and the United States is very deep, and the economic policies of the United States naturally affect the economy of the mainland.
In such a situation, it is difficult for people to care about such things as "space achievements" that are not directly related to their lives.
Some netizens bluntly said that they are not ignoring national events, but they are too busy in their daily lives, and they don't have the time and energy to pay attention to these "high-end" events.
Some netizens are more direct, they think that aerospace news is not attractive, and they pay more attention to topics related to people's livelihood than aerospace achievements.
Some netizens are very "strict", thinking that astronauts taking spaceships to the sky is their own job, and they should do it, and if they can't do it, they must accept criticism, and there is nothing to pay attention to.
Many voices are mixed together to convey a message to people: the aerospace industry is too far away from ordinary people, and it is difficult for people to divide their energy and care about this information.
In addition, in the era of information explosion, people are exposed to a large amount of information through mobile phones every day. The news of Shenzhou 18 is not so important in the huge flow of information.
More importantly, from 1999 to the present, the launch of the Long March launch vehicle has never failed, and successive successes have made people "numb".
For most ordinary people, the launch of Shenzhou-18 is just another success of China's aerospace industry, and there will be more rockets in the future. If the moon is landed one day, people will pay a huge amount of attention.

The United States harvested Japan, and easily harvested China's Jingri and Runri, and the yen fell below 155!
