Chapter 490 The event is in full swing

Arclight Aerospace is still very active for the first such event.

Originally, aerospace engineering was a very distant thing for ordinary people. The closest thing to the aerospace industry is to visit the aerospace museum, or watch a rocket launch, give a name to a spacecraft, etc.

As for sending ordinary people into space, forget about it.

I'll have to pay for the shipping cost alone.

That's why Arc Light Aerospace dares to do this now, because they have really reduced the shipping cost to a very low level, and this matter is handled by the way when transporting materials.

The original private space tour cost 20 million yuan, including the cost of staying on the space station for a few days. So far, only a few people have taken it.

Also, flying to suborbital space and letting you experience weightlessness for a few minutes costs hundreds of thousands of meters.

This is already considered a "cheap space tour", but it is not something ordinary people can try.

So when Arclight Aerospace quickly released the news and participation rules, the world exploded.

This matter is being discussed not only in the information announcement area of ​​Arclight Technology’s official website, but also on various chat and discussion platforms.

"Oh my god - have you seen the latest news about Arc Light Aerospace? The news about a newly announced event is so exciting."

"I'm so excited. I think I'm okay. Maybe I can go to space this time. I heard that Mr. Dong Chen originally studied painting. I think it would be good to paint a picture and hang it up."

"Didn't you read the rules and requirements above? It's creative. Ordinary paintings will definitely not work. You have to be creative."

"The main reason is that there is no definite first place for this thing. Creativity is the most important thing. It all depends on the personal taste of the judges, so the work must be eye-catching."

"I plan to make a model of the New Tiangong Space Station. Think about it, wouldn't it be interesting to put a small model of the New Tiangong Space Station inside the New Tiangong Space Station that is under construction?"

"Yes, why didn't I think of it? I'll make one too, and it will definitely be more precise than you."

"What a great idea. Take me with you. My modeling skills are going to show off again."

"Okay, this brother has a good idea. If they are all the same, then I must choose the most precise one."

"...I'm...just a second-rate person."

"Why don't you just charge money? Art creation is not my strong point at all. I don't know if it's ok to buy it? I don't know if it's ok to buy a creative work?"

"Of course you can, but each person can only submit one work, so even if you buy it, it depends on luck."

"This is a bit unfair. Not everyone has studied art."

"I didn't say it had to be any high-end artwork, but in order to decorate the space station, it must look better. You can't just paste gold bricks on the walls. In fact, it's okay, it's quite friendly to the people, and everyone can participate. Chance."

This explosive popularity can show people's yearning for the starry sky.

Since the Bear Country stopped private space tourism a few years ago and no longer provides seats on manned spaceships to transport tourists to the International Space Station, there has been no real space tourism in the world.

Nowadays, space is blocked by space junk, let alone that.

Just as Dong Chen guessed, it's still the same principle. The more unobtainable something is, the more people yearn for it.

At the beginning, people had to queue up for the 20 million-dollar space tour seats in the Bear Country. After the cancellation, the rich could only wait indefinitely.

Now Arclight Aerospace can provide this opportunity. Although it is not an official aerospace passenger aircraft as originally planned, but a cargo aircraft, no one would object to it in this case.

It can send space workers who have been trained for a short period of time into space, it can send a film crew who trained for two days into space, and even their chairman can go into space. There is nothing that these people cannot accept.

A few days after the armored test aircraft returned, Arclight Aerospace officially announced that it was once again open to navigation.

This time, the situation was even bigger. Four modified aerospace transport planes directly delivered new materials and components to the space station. At the same time, there were also some workers who were evacuated urgently before the last space crash, as well as some additional manpower and engineering. robot.

It can be seen that Guguang Aerospace plans to speed up the pace of construction.

When the first plane returned to Earth after unloading its cargo, it also brought back the two media staff who had been staying in the space station for nearly a week.

As journalists, they are well-known in their field and around the world.

I encountered such a huge space impact during a news interview, experienced it personally, and survived. It was hard not to get angry.

And during my stay, I also took a lot of footage, which are rare and rare things.

And in the eyes of some people, they are the first batch of space tourists of Arc Light Aerospace, and the projects they experience are very exciting. Some of the subsequent activities may have been brought about by the female reporter.

Regarding the success of Arc Light Aerospace, other aerospace agencies and companies can only watch and wait for the garbage cleanup of Arc Light Aerospace Company before they can make next plans.

There are many blank spaces in the debris cloud operation data provided by Arclight Aerospace, but that does not mean there is nothing there, it is just that the debris is too small and has not been tracked yet.

Space launch missions are not 100% safe. Although humans monitor debris, some debris smaller than five centimeters or even millimeters cannot be monitored at all.

Even if there were not so many debris before, there is still a certain chance that a spacecraft will hit debris when launched into space. However, because there are few debris, the chance is very small. There is also a question of luck here.

Therefore, in addition to considering factors such as weather, previous space launch missions also had to find a window with relatively few debris for launch, which would help reduce the risk of collision of undetectable debris.

Even so, there have been more than one occurrences of tiny debris hitting the spacecraft during launch.

Moreover, there are currently more and more human launch missions. According to the current debris growth rate, if no measures are taken, even if there is no such big collision, the number of debris will reach the level of the debris chain impact effect in the next 70 years. critical value, after which the near-Earth space will be completely unavailable.

This major collision event has only advanced this time.

The only difference is that in a decade or a few years, humans will have many ways to deal with space debris. This time has been advanced, and now only one company, Arclight Aerospace, has such mature technology.

Therefore, during this period, aerospace agencies and aerospace companies will work hard to develop or improve their own new products until the debris is cleared.

Or it doesn't need to be cleaned up, as long as it is relatively safe, they will be a good guy again with new technology.

It's just that they hope someone can stop ArcLight Aerospace. They are so awesome.

If there were advertisements or information about Arclight Aerospace every day during the past three years, they were not sure if anyone would remember them when they returned in three years.

Fortunately, the United States is considerate. When Arclight Aerospace's "I Decorate the New Tiangong Space Station" activity was in full swing, the United States held a press conference to announce that it would launch a new round of anti-terrorism activities.

PS: Some book friends said that I shot down the satellite of Asan Kingdom in real life. I checked and it was true that this happened. On March 31, Asan Kingdom’s so-called most powerful satellite lost contact. It was launched on the 29th. Unfortunately, I wrote on the 28th that their most powerful satellite was broken. This...although the time is right...but...has my identity as an intern in the War Ignorance Bureau been exposed like this?
