Chapter 619 Moon Rescue
Houston.
NASA headquarters are all third working halls.
Hundreds of media people were waiting whispering to each other with long guns and short cannons.
Dongmi time, 10:30.
Anne appeared on the stage and debugged the microphone: "People, please be quiet, Mr. Director will make a speech."
In an instant, the voices in the entire work hall became much smaller, and all the reporters were eager to stare at the speech table.
After a while, George, with a serious face, walked up to the speech stage: "Gentlemen, ladies, we feel deeply regret and regret for the accident, but NASA will not give up any astronaut."
The photographers below quickly press the shutter, or if there is an online live broadcast platform, they will upload it directly to the platform.
George continued: "We have reached an agreement with Space Exploration Company to launch a spacecraft to the moon base in about 10 days, carrying clean drinking water, therapeutic drugs and equipment, and rescue the lives of two astronauts as possible and take them home."
The reporters below were a little surprised by this result, and obviously the answer was somewhat unexpected.
CNN reporter raised his hands.
George ordered the other party.
"Mr. Director, is this too risky? After all, there have been consecutive cases of failures before. If the launch fails, is there any alternative plan?"
Regarding the CNN reporter's question, George nodded: "Any space launch mission has the possibility of failure, but this is not the reason why we give up the two astronauts."
He paused for a moment, drank the water in tactics and continued to reply: "At the same time, we have prepared a backup plan. If the heavy Falcon launch fails, NASA will launch an Times carrier rocket developed by Blue Origin around December 10."
Fox News reporters raised their hands, and other reporters also raised their hands.
George clicked on the reporter of the America Express, and the other party stood up and asked: "Mr. Director, use a billion-dollar launch vehicle to save two astronauts who are doomed to die. Have you ever considered the cost issue?"
"Indeed, for this plan, we may have to pay a price of 2.7 to 4.2 billion meters, but I think it is worth it, because if we give up these two astronauts today, will anyone still be willing to explore the vast starry sky for the sake of human space industry?"
Papa... A few people mixed with reporters took the lead in applauding, and others also applauded.
George showed a hint of grief: "I am very sad about this accident. After the moon rescue plan is over, I will resign from the position of NASA Director to be responsible for this incident."
Under George's series of combined punches, the negative impact of this Outpost 1 nuclear leak was quickly suppressed.
The Noah Society also quickly used the media resources they had to promote the "Moon Rescue Plan" for astronauts, and the human lighthouse will not give up any citizen.
Soon the public opinion trend changed rapidly, and George arranged for the relatives of two astronauts to come out and speak out.
It even aroused support from North American people for NASA and sympathy for astronauts.
The online oil pipes and Twitter were forced to die, and immediately launched a blessing event and released a science fiction movie about moon rescue.
Many people in Houston spontaneously hold blessing activities in parks near NASA headquarters.
Anyway, the nearby merchants sell candles, carnations, audio, cards, etc., and they quickly denutritate in less than a day.
The domestic side was stunned.
As for NASA, there is no way to drag the water, it is indeed preparing to launch the Falcon launch vehicle, launching its 18-ton space capsule to the lunar base.
George, Frank, has appeared at the launch site in Florida. The heavy falcon, which was suspended from launching, was renovated at a nearby factory.
Looking at the assembly workshop below, the engineer who was re-adjusting the launch vehicle and space capsule, George said blankly: "Musk, you understand the mouths of these people."
On social media, Musk, who looks cynical, is also very serious: "Don't worry, these are the people I have screened and will never talk nonsense."
He understood the seriousness of this matter. If it was leaked, Noah would have left him with nothing, and even evaporated from the world.
George did not trust him completely, but continued, "The FBI will send someone to help you and cooperate more, otherwise if something happens, we will all be done."
"OK!" Musk shrugged and agreed.
In fact, he hoped that the FBI would send someone to help, otherwise if something happened, he would only bear the brunt of it.
The capsule launched by the Heavy Falcon this time was indeed two space capsules, but there was no drinking water, medicine, medical equipment, etc. inside.
Obviously, the rescue spacecraft mentioned by George is actually a spacecraft that was originally intended to be launched, and its main purpose is to supplement the Outpost 1 base.
How could he waste billions of meters for the sake of two astronauts?
Obviously, what I said at the press conference yesterday was just a scene.
But he and a group of NASA management did not tell me, but who knew what was transported on the spacecraft.
The external communication between Hawke and Wade was also controlled by the Moon Command Center. The two of them only knew that the headquarters would launch a rescue spacecraft to pick them up home.
But I don’t know that George and Noah would have planned to give up on both of them long ago. As for how to deal with the aftermath, they were all arranged properly and there would be no accidents.
Thanks to NASA's comfort, Hawke and Wade also felt at ease and rely on nutrient solution and fruits to grit their teeth and persevere.
Originally, Hawke planned to change the communication equipment if the headquarters gave up on two people, and they would send a helping signal to the Chinese at Changong Space Station.
It’s just that the two overestimated the bottom line of human nature and their own importance. In the huge strategic competition, they are just items that can be sacrificed.
George and Frank and Musk discussed for a while, and after talking about the issue of security and confidentiality, he was still a little worried and ordered:
"Frank, you assist Musk in revising all relevant information. You will never allow any records to be left. What we launch is the rescue spacecraft."
His tone became much heavier on the two words "Rescue Ship".
Although Musk despised the other party in his heart, he replied with a smile: "That's right, this is the rescue spacecraft."
"No problem." Frank knew the importance again.
As long as the two astronauts are hiding the truth, what they do will naturally not be exposed when the two astronauts die gloriously.
As for the truth about this matter in the future, after a few years, it is destined not to leave much evidence. People will only remember that NASA took out billions of meters to save two astronauts.
George arranged the work here, and arranged to go to the Blue Origin factory in person to discuss the lunar spacecraft with Bezos.
Outside the Internet.
The popularity of lunar rescue remains high, and everyone is watching NASA to see if the other party will really launch the launch vehicle as scheduled.
But ordinary people in the folk would not know that NASA had replaced the spacecraft in this process.
Time passes day by day.
Although I was surprised by NASA's actions, I did not express any opinions. At most, I wished the two astronauts a smooth return.
