Speaking during the 1969 moon landing, American astronaut Armstrong said, "It's a small step for humanity and a giant leap for humanity." One sentence has shrouded the aerospace industry of various countries in the huge shadow of the United States for decades. [I don't look at it]
The United States was the first country to realize the human landing on the moon, and the United States was also a leader in the aerospace level at that time, and because of its advanced technology, the United States was known as a beacon of world civilization at that time. However, in recent years, many Americans have begun to question the authenticity of the U.S. mission to the moon that year, and various revelations have emerged one after another, making people not only question whether the lighthouse is also shiny!
Just recently, the Chang'e-6 probe was successfully launched at the Wenchang Space Launch Center in the mainland, and successfully merged into orbit on May 9, successfully entering the orbit around the moon. "It looks like a real hammer!"
Chang'e-6 has added more payloads this time and will join hands with four countries to go to the moon. France, Sweden, Italy and Pakistan have all brought their own satellites, and our country's space technology will also help them achieve lunar exploration! Not only that, the success of the mainland Chang'e-6 mission also indicates that in 2030, there may be Chinese footprints on the moon!
No matter from which point of view, this "Chang'e to the moon" is very important. The first is the "small heart" of the old United States, the Voice of America Chinese website tweeted last year: "US astronauts warn that if China takes the lead in the moon landing operation, there will be serious consequences", netizens said: "You don't say that I don't necessarily go, since you said then I have to go up to see!" ”。
Recalling the Apollo program implemented by the United States back then, 24 astronauts landed on the moon, such a "unparalleled" achievement, even now it is terrifying.
However, in recent decades, the US space program is like an old gun that has been dumbfounded, and aerospace is purely based on lip service, and when you ask, you are doing it, but it is not launched for a long time, and it does not go to the sky. At the same time, in the matter of blocking the mainland's manned space project, it is like fighting against the Soviet Union in the past!
In fact, the earliest plan for the mainland's aerospace project can be traced back to 1999, when the U.S. House of Representatives Toever Cox took the lead in formulating a "Cox Report".
Among them, it also includes Xiao Ma's Starlink plan, Xiao Ma Ge has also maintained cooperation with the mainland's aerospace project, and even wants to further expand the scope of cooperation, after all, commercial aerospace engineering has many benefits, huge imagination space, and various ways to achieve it, which can get more inspiration for the mainland's aerospace industry in the future.
However, the cooperation plan was later stopped by the United States, because the United States relied on the "Cox Report" to raise suspicions that the mainland's carrier rockets carrying US-made satellites might cause the mainland to copy the satellite technology of the United States, and the plagiarized technology might provide the mainland with tremendous help in the research and development of intercontinental missiles and other weapons of mass destruction.
This questioning can be regarded as a complete end to the commercial space cooperation between the mainland and other countries. After all, the United States firmly ascended to the throne of "world hegemon" after the Gulf War, so under the clamor and suspicion of the United States, no country will dare to put forward the intention of cooperation with the mainland.
After the mainland's financial path was cut off by Lao Mei, it could only rely on saving money to study, so after that, the mainland seemed to disappear in the world's aerospace field. What is even more outrageous is that this "Cox Report" was released on the 16th day after the mainland embassy in Yugoslavia was maliciously bombed by the United States.
Looking at Serbia today, the five-star red flag flying everywhere and the successful launch of Chang'e-6 not only show that the mainland has made great progress in its international status and the development of the aerospace industry, but also tell us that the Chinese can do it! The Chinese can do it! The more they hinder us, the more we have to do it, not only to do it, but also to do our best, and even surpass them!
After the victory of Laos and the United States in the Cold War, the world situation has shown a trend of one superpower and many powers, and the United States no longer has an opponent of comparable strength. The United States began his long-term campaign of threatening and intimidating various countries of the world in order to prevent the emergence of new "adversaries" in the future. Under such worries, the United States has lost the mentality of surpassing the Soviet Union's great goal and stable development during the Cold War, and various anxieties have emerged, one of the biggest anxieties is the mainland.
In order to restrict the development of the mainland's aerospace industry, the United States passed the "Wolf Clause" in 2011. The clause prohibits all cooperation between the mainland and NASA and the White House Office of Science and Technology, not only prohibiting cooperation between the two sides, but also affecting Chinese researchers working in U.S. institutions and Chinese students studying in the United States.
Since the Wolf Clause continental astronauts were rejected by the International Space Station and could not get help from other countries in space technology, our aerospace technology could only rely on itself to research and build its own space station.
It can be seen that in aerospace technology, the United States did not choose to rely on its own years of research and accumulation to participate in the world's aerospace competition, but chose to vigorously suppress countries that may catch up with and surpass themselves to maintain their aerospace "hegemon" status, which is obviously contrary to the normal law of technological development!
For example, the "Artemis Accords" signed by the United States and Australia, Canada, Japan and other 7 countries in 2020, trying to kick China and Russia out of their so-called lunar ownership plan, and preparing to establish a lunar version of "NATO" shows the great ambition of the United States, until the number of countries that joined last year jumped from 7 to more than 20.
But what is funny is that the United States has planned the spacecraft of the first unmanned mission of the "Lunar Alliance" for many years, Artemis. It was originally scheduled to be launched in April 22, but due to lightning strikes, the United States decided to postpone the launch. Some "minor" technical problems were identified before the second launch day, and the launch continued to be postponed. Finally, on November 16, 2022, Artemis 1 finally took off after several twists and turns.
Spacecraft No. 1 is so strenuous, so how long will spacecraft No. 2 and No. 3 drag on? It is really a test of the patience of the countries of the "Moon Alliance". Lao Mei really has made a big difference in the world's aerospace history, but this does not delay Lao Mei from boasting about her ambitions. The United States also expects to achieve a long-term stationing on the moon by 2030.
Lao Mei's moon landing program has been stretched, but looking at the stable lift-off of Chang'e on the mainland, it can be seen how good Chang'e is on the mainland. It is not easy for the mainland to break through the encirclement and interception of Laos and the United States and realize the Chang'e-6 lunar landing program. It is hoped that the mainland will realize the manned lunar landing program at an early date, so that the continent's aerospace level will reach the top of the world. In the words of netizens: "Our goal is the sea of stars"!
