Yesterday, the Long March 5 was successfully launched. According to everyone’s impression, the success rate of rocket launches in my country is relatively high. Under normal circumstances, a rocket is launched, and even news reports are not very visible. Until...Why is the Long March No. 5 (Fat 5 for short) this time directly on the hot search?

First of all, this is a heavy rocket. In the past, rockets with higher success rate were launched. They were not heavy rockets. Like the Long Three A and Long Three B, they are all medium-sized rockets, very old. The model is available, the technology is mature, the experience is rich, and it has been repeatedly used, and the probability of failure is of course very low.

However, the old rockets in the past have limited capabilities and are increasingly unable to adapt to China's aerospace needs, so Fat Five has become the only seedling in the village.

This is a new rocket. It uses new technology and can transport more things. Of course, the cost of launching is very high.

Because the launch has failed once, if it fails again this time, many of China’s space programs will be delayed, which will also cause a blow to the confidence of space workers. A person's life is very short. If it fails again, after a few years of troubleshooting, a few years of redesigning, and a few years of manufacturing, the youth of these scientific researchers will also pass away.

The question is here, what will the success of Fat Five bring?

1: September 2020-a new generation of manned spaceship low-Earth orbit in-orbit test.

2: The fourth quarter of 2020-Chang'e 5 lunar sample return mission.

Attention, after Chang'e 5 reaches the moon, it has to jump back again.

The Americans are so stingy. After landing on the moon, they only gave China 1g of lunar soil. Scientists studied 0.5g, and 0.5g can only be placed in the museum.

But this time, let’s take it ourselves, and study as much as we want!

3: 2021-the launch of the core module of the China Space Station-code: Tianhe

4: 2021-the launch of the No. 1 test module of the China Space Station-code: Wentian

5: 2022-China Space Station No. 2 Experimental Module Launch-Code: Mengtian

If these projects are completed, they can replace the International Space Station, but these are inseparable Heavy rocket.

6: 2024-Chang'e 6's second lunar sample return mission.

7: 2024-Hubble Telescope-level Chinese space Telescope built in common orbit with the space station-Code: Sky Survey

8: 2024-SPORT Project-Mankind's Strongest Sun Polar Orbit Space Telescope.

As a melon-eater, the first contribution is to pay taxes.

The second contribution is popular science. It is enough to let everyone know about this.

Although there is still a big gap between my country and the United States, I think the main reason is that the money burned is too little. The awesome Saturn 5, a cost equivalent to a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier !

And Saturn 5 launched 13 times and burned 13 aircraft carriers. Adding research and development expenses, it is equal to 15 aircraft carriers.

And the total amount of money burned by my country's aerospace industry may not have an aircraft carrier. So it won’t catch up for a while, it’s nothing. There are so many disciplines to develop, such as nuclear fusion, artificial intelligence, etc. It is also impossible to allocate all funds to aerospace, and there is no need to repeat the work of the Americans.

But I believe that the development in this area will get better and better in the future.

Okay, after the popularization of science, the monthly pass will be doubled tomorrow. If you have the monthly pass, you can keep it. Check the red envelope area to see if there is any red envelope to grab.

If there is no red envelope, please vote for me tomorrow, no need to vote today!
