v2 Chapter 27： Destiny Circle (1/2)

It was less than twenty minutes before the dismounting of the horse on the multi-axis training apparatus, and Zhang Heng and their group of candidate astronauts were pulled down to the next place by the transport vehicle.

Through the car window, Zhang Heng saw a white main building with the American flag on the right, the NASA logo on the left, and an abstract sculpture of a rocket flying off the roadside.

”The Kennedy Space Center, located on the island of Metairie on the east coast of Florida, started construction in 1962. The name was changed to honor the late President Kennedy.” A boy who looked like a high school student was excited. Road.

”According to the distance calculation, we should have been at Cape Canaveral Air Force Base. The Mercury Project, the Gemini Project and the early Apollo missions all started there, because the rockets can be fired to the ocean and avoid The populated area is dangerous, and at the same time it is closer to the equator. It can make full use of the autobiography of the earth to give the rocket greater thrust, but because it cannot match the Saturn 5 rocket, a new brand was later built at the Kennedy Space Center. Launch base. ”

”Wait, is Kennedy dead at this time?” The fat man asked.

”Yes, he was assassinated in Dallas in 1963. Although he gave the famous moon landing speech, he did not see the American astronauts set foot on the moon.” The boy who looked like a high school student shrugged.

”Everyone, can I remind you, aren't we here to travel, shouldn't we be more concerned about our own situation now?” The strong man named Anthony frowned.

”Yes, it seems that the main mission this time is to land on the moon, or at least to reach outer space, but as far as I said, there is not much difference between the two.”

”Why do you say that?” The only girl in the copy of this round asked, wondering if it was a coincidence that she chose the seat beside Zhang Heng when she got on the bus.

”Don't you know?” The boy who looked like a high school student raised his eyebrows, looking a little surprised.

”Apollo 10 took off at 12:49 on May 18, 1969. The captain said that the rocket was launched 3 days ago, which means that we entered the copy on May 21, 1969.”

”So?” The girl blinked.

The boy leaned on the back of the chair and smiled at the girl. ”The launch time of Apollo 11 was on July 16, 1969, and the subsequent Apollo 12 was on December 14, with a distance of nearly five. Months, and given the deadline for our copy, so ... ”

”Don't you say that there are any other Gemini plans in the United States?”

”The Gemini Project is a transition between the Mercury Project and the Apollo Project. Beginning in 1961, it completed ten manned missions in Earth orbit, and it was successfully completed in 1965.”

The middle-aged man in the shape of an intellectual said, ”So to complete this main task, we have only one chance to get on the Apollo 11.” His expression looked dignified.

At this point, everyone's face changed, and the atmosphere inside the car suddenly became strange.

Only the fat man stumbled, ”What's wrong, is Apollo 11 dangerous?”

”Dangerous?” The boy who looked like a high school student grinned, pointing at the NASA driver who drove in front. ”Yeah, after all, this is the first time that humans have challenged to go to the moon. Not only do these ordinary people feel that there is nothing in them, even NASA The scientists, engineers, and astronauts who perform the mission are panicked, but as latecomers, we know very well that the final result of this mission is a complete victory, so the real problem we face is How to get on Apollo 11. ”
