Chapter 366 (1/2)
SpaceX Star Festival invited a few stars to perform. In addition to Michael Jackson, Celine Dion was invited to sing the theme song ”my heart is forever” of ”Titanic”. Finally, Britney Spears, a popular girl from ”the voice of America”, was invited.
After several rounds of performances, Lawrence Paul stepped on the stage to host the Star Festival.
”Welcome, first of all, let me introduce SpaceX. The full name of SpaceX company is ”space exploration technology company”. Founded in 1991, SpaceX company is composed of aerospace technicians from the former Soviet Union. Subsequently, Mr. Henry Williams acquired Lockheed Martin, Hughes aerospace and communications, and Northrop Grumman. SpaceX may be just a new company, but the latter three companies are aerospace companies with a long history and strong strength. And our new SpaceX company is a combination of the space forces of these four companies to become the world's most technologically powerful and largest space company! ”
”SpaceX company is always recruiting the best Aerospace talents in the world to join our company. So far, the total number of the company has exceeded 40000, more than the total number of employees of NASA, ESA and RKA of Russian Federal Space Agency. Moreover, the annual research funding is as high as 20 billion US dollars, which is three times that of NASA, four times that of RKA and five times that of ESA! ”
”Today, SpaceX is holding this interstellar event, which mainly shows SpaceX's latest launch vehicle!”
”As we all know, the cost of launching a rocket is extremely expensive. At the beginning of its establishment, SpaceX company was determined to be the cheapest carrier rocket. In this regard, we have been working hard. As far as technology is concerned, we have been in the forefront of the world; As far as cost control is concerned, the cost of launching a rocket is about 100 million US dollars worldwide, while the cost of launching a rocket is at least 20 million US dollars cheaper! ”
At the end of the speech, many people can't help but be surprised and show an incredible expression on their faces! Then, they began to talk about it.
Lawrence Paul raised his hand and motioned for silence. Then he continued: ”this new carrier rocket is the second generation rocket of SpaceX company, called Falcon 2. It is a 35 meter long three-stage solid-liquid hybrid rocket. Its standard price is 75 million US dollars. If it is launched into low earth orbit, its maximum load is 20 tons; If it is launched into geosynchronous transfer orbit, the maximum load is 6.5 tons; If launched to Mars, the maximum payload is 3.1 tons! ”
As Lawrence Paul spoke, the LCD screen behind him lit up, and a giant rocket, like the monkey king's golden cudgel, was lying on the playground, with no end in sight. There are nine launchers at the tail of the rocket. Each of them can put six people into it. A staff member is standing under the launch port, and compared with the rocket, it is very small!
Lawrence Paul looked down at the stage, with a confident smile on his face, and said in a loud voice, ”if you choose SpaceX to launch multiple rocket missions, then the cost will be lower!”
After that, Lawrence Paul nodded to Henry. Henry then got up and went to the stage.
As soon as they saw Henry on the stage, they were quiet.
Henry took a microphone from an employee and bowed to the people.
