v2 Chapter 67： Apollo Training Camp (End) (1/2)

On the silent moon, the entrance platform slowly unfolded, and the camera was turned on.

Armstrong stepped out of the door and crawled slowly down the landing gear.

He first checked the four load-bearing legs to make sure that they were all right, so that when it was time to return to orbit of the near moon, the lunar module could use the entire downgrade as a launch platform, and then just turn on the upgraded engine and then the The upgrade was returned to lunar orbit and docked with the command / service module parked there.

A voice from the ground control center came from the communication channel. ”The camera is working normally. We see you, Neil. You look good.”

”Thank you, Houston.”

Armstrong looked up at Zhang Heng in the lunar module again, and nodded at the latter, ”the beautiful textbook landed.” Armstrong continued to climb down to the bottom.

(Here is the original text of Armstrong at the moon landing)

”... I'm standing under the ladder, on the floor of the lunar module. The floor only presses the ground down for a foot or two. When you approach, you can see that the ground has a very delicate texture, like powder, Very delicate. ”

Armstrong paused and turned around, ”... I'm going to the moon.”

Millions of the public in front of the television held their breath at this moment until Armstrong's left foot moved from the chassis to the ground.

”... That’sonesmallstepforaman, onegiantleapformankind (this is a small step for individuals, but a big step for humans).” Armstrong said.

However, due to transmission problems with the sound equipment, this sentence became intermittent when it was transmitted to the TV, and coupled with Neil Armstrong's heavy Ohio accent, many people did not even understand exactly what he said.

So the audience in front of the TV set started talking, ”Wait, what did Armstrong say on the moon?”

”Well, it seems that this is both a small step and a big step for humans.” Another person was not so sure.

”It sounds philosophical, but is this a small step or a big step for you?”

”.........”

This is not an accident. In fact, at this time, people in front of the TV, including the staff of NASA's ground control center in Houston, did not hear the letter a in the middle. At this time, the news agency began to write quickly. Be the first to report this news.

It wasn't until Armstrong returned to Earth that he reinterpreted what he said on the moon.

But these are the last words. Zhang Heng followed Armstrong, climbed down from the landing gear, and stepped on the moon.

What brought him in was a wild and magnificent sight.

Here is the grey world, the rolling craters, the uneven surface, there is nothing but rocks, no sound, no life, and some are eternal silence.

But it is undeniable that it is beautiful and suffocating.

No wonder Armstrong would later say that I have been to the moon, and there is nothing on earth that can attract me.

Without the protection of the atmosphere, the temperature here can reach 160 degrees during the day, and at night, the temperature can drop to 180 degrees below zero. In addition to the ubiquitous radiation and lack of oxygen, astronauts must always be physically active on the moon. Spacesuit.

Zhang Heng couldn't see the watch inside, but he just talked with the ground control center before and got the time on the earth. There was less than half an hour before the end of the copy.
