Chapter 653: Looking into the Deep Sky(2/2)
If we can land on the moon before NASA and complete the miraculous latecomer, first arrival, this will undoubtedly improve China's status in the aerospace field by a lot!
If possible, the three of them are willing to sacrifice everything, including their lives, to complete this transcendence.
In the control center, standing in front of the monitoring station, looking at the astronauts who were watching the camera and communicating with them through the monitoring screen in the cockpit, Xu Chuan refused without hesitation.
"No, compressing the lunar orbit time and landing on the moon early is extremely risky. The first priority for the first lunar landing is to successfully complete the lunar landing project, not to land on the moon before NASA and continue to perform the mission according to the original plan!"
He flatly rejected Zhai Zhigang's application to land on the moon first.
After a short delay, the sound of the Xinghai was transmitted back again.
"With the propulsion capability of Xinghai, I am confident enough to drive it to complete the moon landing in advance! Please approve the moon landing in advance."
"Continue to perform the mission according to the original plan!"
Staring at the surveillance camera, Xu Chuan once again rejected the applications of the three astronauts without hesitation.
Indeed, with the propulsion capabilities of Xinghai, it is not impossible to compress the orbiting time and forcibly lower the altitude, but expansion beyond the plan always carries great risks.
Especially the work of early landing on the moon is 380,000 kilometers away. If an unexpected situation occurs, they can't even rescue them.
If this preemption required three astronauts to risk their lives at extremely high risks, he would rather not do it.
"yes!"
After a brief reply, the communication between the Earth and the Moon fell into silence again.
In the control center, standing behind Xu Chuan, Wu Yuankang smacked his lips twice, but finally said nothing.
He knew that this arrangement was the safest.
...
On the Xinghai, the co-pilot looked at the Artemis lunar landing ship that had disappeared into the sky. He sighed with regret. He glanced at Zhai Zhigang unwillingly. After hesitating for a while, he still tentatively
He opened his mouth and said:
"Captain, if we can advance..."
In the driver's seat, Zhai Zhigang shook his head resolutely and looked at him seriously: "Execute the order!"
"yes!"
Heaving a sigh of relief, Chen Dong focused his attention back and fully cooperated with Zhai Zhigang to continue driving the Xinghai to complete the orbit switching work.
The application to launch the lunar probe before Artemis landed on the moon was a joint discussion among the three people. Although the discussion time was very short, all three people approved this proposal without any objection.
Unfortunately, the ground command center rejected their application.
Although this was a refusal to protect their lives to the greatest extent, it still made the three of them feel a little regretful.
After all, as a soldier, they are more willing to dedicate themselves if the country needs it.
