Chapter 1189 Warriors

"Medical staff are very hard-working and have been working in the isolation area. I have never met my family for so long-term-" When talking about the situation here, the hospital manager also said with some emotion.

"We can help with this matter." Fan Wubing nodded.

Then he instructed the person in charge of the Guangzhou branch to immediately contact and mobilize a group of laptops to come over, requiring them to be equipped with a video head and a microphone, and set up several wireless hotspots in the isolation area to allow access to the Internet so that medical staff can video and call their families at any time.

"Thank you so much." Both the hospital and the institute expressed their gratitude.

After leaving here, Fan Wubing returned to the hotel and collected the current information online. He found that there were very few reports about SARS and did not attract everyone's attention. He couldn't help but shake his head.

I think this matter is a bit tricky. Ordinary news media units are not willing to report on such matters, especially in another month, the government will change its term, and no one wants to cause trouble at this time.

Another thing is that it is popular on the Internet. It is the sudden crash of the Columbia space shuttle in the United States on the Spring Festival. In contrast, everyone pays more attention to this matter.

The cause of the Columbia crash is still unclear, but according to Dietmore, the head of the NASA space shuttle project, Columbia has been operating normally since it was launched on January 16. At 8:53 am Eastern Time on February 1, the Space Administration suddenly received the first signal of a space shuttle failure. At that time, the temperature sensor data transmission of the left-wing hydraulic system of the space shuttle was suddenly interrupted.

Immediately afterwards, the tire pressure data of the space shuttle suddenly disappeared, and the structure was overheated on the space shuttle.

At that time, the Columbia space shuttle was about to re-enter the atmosphere, and its fuselage was under very high temperature pressure. The heat at the wings had reached 3,000 degrees Fahrenheit, while the aircraft's operating speed was 1.25,000 miles per hour, equivalent to 18 times the speed of sound.

The Space Administration Control Center lost contact and tracking of Columbia at 9 a.m. Eastern Time. At that time, the space shuttle's flight altitude was 62,000 meters above Texas. Since then, the Space Administration Control Center has not received any communications and tracking information about the Columbia shuttle.

The crash of the Columbia space shuttle caused great shock and grief across the United States. US President Bush, who was spending the weekend at Camp David, rushed back to Washington after receiving a report from White House Chief of Staff Card and held an emergency meeting with cabinet members on the shuttle crash. He then spoke to the family of the victims on the phone and expressed condolences for the astronaut's death.

Just after two o'clock that afternoon, the US President Bush, with a solemn expression and aching mood, made a televised speech to the country at the White House. After counting the names of the dead astronauts, Bush said that in such an era when space flights are almost considered ordinary, it is easy to ignore the dangers of rocket travel and the difficulties of navigating the extra-earth atmosphere. These astronauts understand these dangers, they are willing to face them, they know that there are more noble goals in their lives, and because of their courage, courage and ideals, we will miss them even more.

Bush stressed that the cause they sacrificed will continue, that human beings are motivated by discovery and desire for knowledge enter darkness beyond our world, and that our journey into space will continue.

Leaders of China, Russia, France, Canada and other countries sent condolences to US President Bush after the US space shuttle crash. While expressing their deep condolences for the unfortunate death of American astronauts, they believe that human efforts to explore cosmic science will not be affected by this and will continue to make progress.

What exactly is the cause of the Columbia space shuttle crash?

To find out the cause of the accident, the NASA administrator has announced the appointment of a retired brigade general as chairman of the independent committee of inquiry, first focusing on finding out whether the insulation components of the outer end of the aircraft oil tank damaged the shuttle and caused its ultimate crash.

NASA said at a press conference held on the day of the incident that on the day the Columbia was launched, the insulation material at the outer end of the aircraft oil tank was damaged and loose, but it is not known whether the insulation tiles on it were damaged.

Since the space shuttle operates at high speeds in space for a long time, the temperature outside the fuselage, especially the wing part, is very high, the fuselage of the space shuttle needs graphite insulation tiles to protect it to prevent damage to the fuselage by high temperature. If the heat insulation tiles near the oil tank fall off, it may cause the space shuttle to explode or disintegrate in the air.

The next day, the investigation into the cause of the accident made new progress. After analyzing a large number of aircraft wreckage debris and computer data collected from Texas and Louisiana, members of the Independent Investigation Committee believed that the temperature on the left side of the space shuttle fuselage had risen sharply before disintegration, and the left side of the space shuttle was exactly the side where the fuselage was damaged when it was launched on January 16.

Some American experts pointed out about the Columbia space shuttle crash that due to the decline in the aerospace budget in recent years, most of these space shuttles, which are aged between ten and eighteen years, have not received complete upgrades and maintenance, thus posing hidden dangers in flight safety.

The Columbia space shuttle crash will have a certain impact on the U.S. space industry. First, NASA has ordered the suspension of all space shuttle flights, which will affect the implementation of many important space exploration projects in the next two to three years.

In addition, the crash of the Columbia space shuttle will trigger personnel changes within NASA, which will cause some unpredictable variables in the US space planning.

Some experts also believe that since the United States has decided to suspend all space shuttle flight plans, this will have a major impact on the plan to build an international space station, because it was originally planned to transport a large number of equipment and materials for expansion to the space station through the space shuttle. If the US space shuttle is grounded for a long time, the construction of the space station will definitely be negatively affected.

When Fan Wubing was checking online, Shen Ying and Ziqi were both resting in the room. After chatting for a while, they came to see what Fan Wubing was doing. They found that he was reading news about the Columbia crash.

Zi Qi also read this topic and couldn't help but say to them, "I remember that my predecessors stood on the ancient battlefield of the Battle of Robe Pennezzar and once said this: the whole earth is the cemetery of great people, and the endless time and long flow are their glorious celebrations. Revising this sentence slightly can appropriately evaluate this matter. The whole sky is the cemetery of great warriors, and the endless time and long flow are their glorious celebrations."

Fan Wubing nodded. Exploring space is the common cause of all mankind. Although he has different positions and has his own national interests, the spirit of exploration of all mankind coexist in this matter.

The US space shuttle Columbia disintegrated 16 minutes before landing, and all seven astronauts died. At that time, the space shuttle was flying at an altitude of 203,000 feet, enduring high temperatures of more than 3,000 degrees, waiting to contact the ancient and kind land again after taking off on January 16.

However, communication suddenly stopped, and debris bloomed like fireworks. Tragedy always had no warning, and creation was always unpredictable. There is reason to believe that the seven astronauts were swallowed by the fire before they even had time to pop out of the life capsule and eventually disappeared into the blue sky of Texas.

This reminds people of January 28, seventeen years ago, when the Challenger space shuttle took off, the famous smoke column left in the sky, as if it was hit by thunder. It seemed that there was a creature in the dark that was offended and the anger was hard to disappear.

Fan Wubing has never had close contact with the space shuttle. He can just get a little bit of a similar style when he comes into contact with large strategic transport aircraft. When you look up at the steel giant above your head, the neat rivets and smooth wings make people feel the activities of human intelligence. It looks so powerful because humans let steel fly in the air.

However, he also knew very well that the fragility of this artificial machinery, compared with the great nature, the steel giant beast flying in the atmosphere was just a leaf in the vast ocean, and humans were just driving the leaf to see the ants on the other side of the sea.

"Faced with unknown space, we are certainly ants, ants that keep climbing the grass leaves. We can use this courage to explore to see a football field as large as a football field. With our small and fragile bodies, isn't this a great achievement? Although we may know nothing about the stands of 100,000 people around us, and we may be smashed to pieces by the sudden football." Fan Wubing couldn't help but say with some emotion, "Looking up at the vast starry sky, just like ants gazing at the boundless lawn. When humans drive the small spacecraft they created, shuttle between space and the earth. When staring at the blue sea surface and the daily line that yin and yang in the sky, who can say that this small and fragile group of humans is not a great warrior?"

With their efforts, mankind has walked through the ancient times, conquered the mammoths and saber-toothed tigers, built city-states that nature had never existed on the earth, and invented boats and chariots that were unknown to creation.

Geography can no longer limit humanity. They will set out to seek new answers, explore the mysteries of time and space, and ask whether there is an eternal burning of catastrophe fire and whether life is a tide that revolves around.

"No one would mind dedicating their great respect to these warriors, whether they succeed or fail. Perhaps it is not success, but it is precisely countless failures that illuminate the eternal night. The signposts to the oasis are the snow-white bones next to the road. Therefore, we arrange their tombs in the sky, list their names with stars, use endless time as their infinite glory celebrations, and use our eyes to seek to be their eternal testimony." Fan Wubing sighed as if he were chanting, "They slid across the shore of the sky and touched the cheeks of God."
