Chapter 925 (2/2)
”What's your opinion?” asked Hillary, sitting in the hearing.
”To expand NASA's budget, we must immediately start research on space elevator technology. Compared with China and Russia, we have a unique advantage in global influence. We can replicate a space elevator in the Atlantic ”
” how much money do you need if you set up a project? ”Hillary looked at Bolden and asked earnestly,” I mean, from R & D to completion. ”
Bolden turned the manuscript directly to the last page, sniffed, and said quickly: ”if we can get technical support from futuren group, the investment budget will be about 20 billion and 40 billion. If we start with R & D, NASA needs $200 billion, and we can start construction by 2030 at the latest. ”
The members of the hearing present looked at each other, and the faces of experts from all walks of life were quite ugly. Hillary and Kerry looked at each other and saw the obvious disappointment in each other's eyes.
How can we get help from futureman group? If the technology is mastered by two or more companies, they will certainly come to their door and sell their technology to get the U.S. government's order for space elevator projects. However, there is only one company that has mastered the technology of space elevator. As a ”contract leader”, where can it be more profitable than monopoly?
as for the $200 billion budget application, Hillary Clinton will not nod, and the budget committee in the hearing will directly shoot the project.
”200 billion God, this money is enough for us to build two aircraft carrier battle groups.” sure enough, before Hillary Clinton spoke, an opposition congressman sarcastically said, ”unless China continues to lend us money, where will the money come from? Do you expect taxpayers to pay for this fantastic project?”This is not a whimsical project. It has been completed secretly some time ago. ”There are also quite a number of private space companies in the United States. We have used half a century to prove the enthusiasm and innovation of private enterprises. Instead of arguing about unsolvable problems here, why not ask SpaceX's opinion ”
Bolden's face is a little ugly.
Ask SpaceX's opinion. Do you think SpaceX is a miraculous conch
long before the hearing, he had asked Elon Musk, founder of SpaceX, about the feasibility of building its own space elevator in the United States. However, Elon Musk's answer made him feel deeply powerless.
According to the information released by star ring trade, if the United States wants to build a similar space elevator, it must start from the most basic elevator materials.
The 200 billion
what the budget committee has shown us has always been a conservative estimate.
After the hearing, Kerry and Hillary walked side by side toward the garage. On the way, they talked about the fruitless space elevator problem.
”He doesn't care about the impact of the new country's breakthrough in space technology on the United States. He only cares about NASA's budget.”
”You are an international expert, Mr. Kerry. I want to hear from you. ” Said Sheila without expression.
Lowered his voice, Kerry said earnestly.
”We can use the United Nations to put pressure on the new country. This is a big cake. Russia and China should not give up their share of the space elevator. As long as we make a little concession when sharing the cake, they will agree to our proposal to jointly put pressure on the star ring trade. Outer space belongs to all mankind, and the world-wide project of space elevator should also be shared by all mankind. Li Xueting, sexy see through dress, private house portrait.
