Today's night seems to be very long. The open space outside the SANA base is full of people and tent camps, and the lights are bright.
Many people were chatting and laughing and queuing up with a bonfire.
Get ready to witness an important moment in Blue Star's history tomorrow.
Just as sleepless as they were, there were the five astronauts who were about to land on the moon, and the SANA base staff who were working all night.
Everyone works together for tomorrow’s launch mission.
The astronauts ended their training mission early today because tomorrow is the launch time, so they wanted to relax their tense nerves.
I hope that I can be in the best condition to cope with the moon landing mission tomorrow.
But facing such an important moment, how could we just relax? It was already nine o'clock in the evening, free country time, and the five astronauts who were about to land on the moon were tossing and turning on the beds in their respective rooms, unable to fall asleep.
One of the astronauts, Grisius, came to the room of another astronaut Neville because he could not sleep.
Neither of them slept, because their current mood was worried, nervous, and excited.
Because they are about to carry out the largest lunar landing mission in human history, and they will also have to live on the moon for a week.
In the future, they may have a place in free countries and even in the history books of all mankind.
So how can you not be excited and excited?
Worry is also an unavoidable emotion. Living on such a distant moon for a week, if any accident occurs, you may be buried in a foreign land.
They know this.
"Neville, why do you look more sad than me?"
Grisius saw Neville's sad face as if he was thinking about something, and then he lay on the bed looking at the white ceiling above.
He himself was just worried about whether a real journey to a foreign land like going to the moon would never come back.
But Neville was thinking about something different.
As an astronaut, he is very aware of the value of lunar landings. Several lunar landing programs in the last century have completely explored the moon. Although there are large amounts of helium-3 resources on the moon.
But if you want to develop and utilize it, the income and expenditure are not directly proportional. The moon landing is more like a symbolic task to prove the national strength.
Later, the Sana Space Agency set its goal on Mars.
When no one is getting carried away by the fame and fortune that will be recorded in history, what Neville is thinking about is why the moon landing plan has been restarted now?
And also want to build a base on the moon.
Could it be that the Blue Star Coalition Government discovered something new on the moon? Is its value comparable to such a time-consuming moon landing plan?
"Grisius, don't you think about it, why do the five powerful countries on Blue Star form a Blue Star coalition government and jointly implement the moon landing plan independently of the United Nations?"
Facing the questions raised by Neville, Grisius was a little confused.
Then he said: "Didn't I tell you everything? Because of the greenhouse effect, aren't we building a base on the moon to build a lunar research institute and solve the problem of the greenhouse effect?"
Only a fool would believe that the problem is the greenhouse effect.
The concept of the greenhouse effect has been debated for many years, but its impact on human life has been minimal, and the hole in the Antarctic sky is also healing.
As for melting glaciers, sea levels will rise by 60 meters, inundating many coastal countries and cities.
This is only a theoretical result, but in fact it is almost impossible to melt all the glaciers.
What the two of them were thinking about was not on the same level at all.
"Do you really think the greenhouse effect can be so powerful?"
Grisius, I don’t understand what Neville wants to express.
What is the greenhouse effect? There is not so much energy. Isn’t the moon landing intended to solve the greenhouse effect?
Astronauts are not erudite doctors. Not everyone can consider every detail, and excessive joy will go to their head.
"I don't understand, Neville, what exactly do you want to say?" Grisius asked in confusion.
What Neville thought was actually very simple.
That is whether there will be any danger during this trip, and what is there on the moon that is worthy of the five major countries on the Blue Star jointly landing on the moon.
Could it be that an alien spacecraft crashed on the moon?
Neville thought his idea was a little funny.
Because the matter itself is already outrageous.
"It's nothing, just think of it as my soliloquy. Okay, you should go back to sleep. It's not too late. Tomorrow will be the moment when we go down in history."
"Really, Neville, you are such a talkative person and say some unintelligible things. Forget it, you should go to bed early."
After Grisius left the room.
Neville did not continue to think about the previous problem.
As for what the Blue Star coalition government wants to do on the moon, I'm afraid they will tell us after we land on the moon.
However, this operation will definitely not be a simple moon landing plan.
Neville felt that there might be something deeper hidden behind this.
But after all, he is just an astronaut, and many things are beyond his reach. However, he is worried that the Blue Star United Government will treat him as a victim and use him on the moon.
Before this, no one had ever experienced living on the moon.
This sudden moon landing plan without any warning really caught people off guard.
In the midst of repeated thoughts, Neville fell asleep.
Both Hercules and the Lunar Explorer have completed last-minute repeated inspections, and no problems have been found. If nothing else goes wrong, they will be able to launch according to regulations tomorrow.
The astronauts have fallen asleep, but the staff at the SANA base are still busy all night long.
Rory, the general manager of SANA's lunar landing program.
I am holding a thick document to check for omissions and fill in the gaps to see if there is any aspect that has not been carried out in accordance with the procedures, and if there are any areas that have not been done well enough.
This kind of thing is inherently about striving for excellence.
"One last check, there must be no problems with the moon landing plan. Do you understand?" Rory said seriously and responsibly.
Even though the subordinates felt tired, they still cheered up.
They responded in unison: "No problem!"
They are also participants in history, and they also have a sense of honor and excitement about the moon landing.
So they are also conducting every step of inspection very carefully.
Everything we did tonight was for the smooth launch of the moon landing tomorrow.
The official order issued by a free country is to only succeed and not to fail!
