As expected, this news has aroused heated discussions among people all over the world.

"Our first lunar scientific research base has finally completed the official project approval. I believe it will not be long before we want to travel to the moon, and it is not impossible."

"It can be seen that the recent exploration results of the Golden Rabbit No. 1 are indeed very good, so that the rabbit can make a plan for the lunar scientific research base so quickly. In the exploration of the moon, Sam is already at a complete disadvantage."

"Sure enough, the first lunar scientific research base was built here in Shackleton Crater. With the lunar base, our exploration of the solar system will be more in-depth."

Shortly after the news was announced, the Sam Space Agency also quickly learned of the news.

"They actually...are going to build a moon base?"

Even though they have prepared for this news, Williams and others of the Sam Space Agency still did not expect that the rabbit would be ready to build a moon base so soon.

You know, as early as the last century, the Sam Space Agency sent astronauts to the moon many times for exploration.

Even so, they have never established any moon bases, and they have only explored a very small area of ​​the moon and brought back a small number of moon samples.

Establishing a lunar scientific research base is easy to say, but very difficult to do.

Not to mention how many construction-related technologies are used in it, transporting so many construction materials to the moon 380,000 kilometers away is an extremely huge project.

"Mr. must be informed of this at once."

Thinking of this, Williams immediately dialed the private number.

"What? The rabbit is officially preparing to establish a scientific research base on the moon?"

Hearing this news, the white-haired old man was also shocked.

In fact, just announcing a plan is not such an unacceptable thing.

Because the plans announced by many countries before have not been successfully implemented in the end.

For example, Dongying plans to establish a lunar base in 2025, using robots as the "pioneers" of the moon.

So far, nothing particularly big has been done.

Tianzhu plans to launch the first unmanned moon landing spacecraft in 2008. This plan has been delayed for more than ten years.

The various space programs including the Su country and the Sam country have all been pigeonholed for several years or more than ten years.

During this period, only Rabbit has been strictly implementing its various space programs, and there is hardly any delay.

This kind of performance is enough to convince any other country that the rabbit has always followed its word.

"Sir, the location chosen by the rabbit is also one of the lunar scientific research bases planned by our Sam space agency. If they are allowed to occupy this location in advance, we will undoubtedly lose the opportunity to explore the moon."

Because there are no clear regulations on the use of the moon, and the principle of "first come, first served" is basically followed.

Even though SAM Space Agency has long made plans for various lunar scientific research bases, these locations cannot always be ready for SAM Space Agency at any time.

"Damn...they want to take the lead in occupying our planned position!"

At this time, the white-haired old man still stubbornly believed that these areas should belong to their Sam, and he gritted his teeth unconsciously.

Thinking of this, the white-haired old man continued to ask:

"Now how is the preparation for the restart of the space launch system?"

"Already in active preparations. It is estimated that our space launch system will be able to re-launch the moon landing rocket in two to three years at the earliest."

After regaining a large amount of funding, Sam Space Agency put almost all its energy on the restart of the Space Launch System.

But even so, it is not so easy to design a rocket from scratch.

"Two to three years... it's still a bit slow."

At this speed, even if everything goes smoothly, it will be difficult to overtake the progress before the rabbit builds the lunar scientific research base.

At this time, the white-haired old man suddenly thought of another plan.

"Director Williams, let me ask you, if we completely replicate the Apollo project, how soon can we re-launch the moon landing rocket?"

Hearing the white-haired old man's words, Williams froze for a moment before giving his own answer.

"If the Apollo project is completely replicated, the time required for various researches can be greatly reduced. Within a year at the earliest, the moon landing rocket can be re-launched. It's just..."

"Just what?" the white-haired old man asked.

"It's just that, as you know, the cost of the Apollo project is too expensive. Such a huge amount of money is completely unaffordable for the Sam space agency."

The entire Apollo project, although it has been confirmed many times, is an aerospace project that can successfully land on the moon.

But the costs that need to be borne are beyond the reach of Sam Space Agency.

This feeling is like in today's 21st century, still relying on manpower to build a Khufu pyramid.

Even if the technical problems can be solved, it is something they don't want to face.

"Director Williams, can you estimate how much it would cost to replicate the Apollo project?"

"A conservative estimate is about five times the cost of developing the Space Launch System," Williams said.

This is one of the reasons why Sam Space Agency has been reluctant to replicate the Apollo project.

Calculated according to the current price, it would cost about 1.2 billion yuan to manufacture a Saturn V rocket, not to mention various other expenses.

The Saturn V rocket cannot be recovered due to its own technical limitations.

This also increases the launch cost of each manned moon landing rocket mission.

Because of this, the Sam Space Agency deliberately abandoned the original technology and decided to re-study the new moon landing rocket launch system.

But at this time, with the sudden rise of rabbit space technology, Sam has no time to procrastinate.

"Director Williams, I will help the space agency solve the cost problem. Get ready to restart the Saturn V project."

Hearing the white-haired old man's words, Williams had a shocked expression on his face.

Williams did not expect that in the face of such a huge expenditure, this gentleman still made this decision resolutely.

"No matter what, the rabbit must not be allowed to establish a base on the moon first!"

Not long after hanging up the phone, the white-haired old man found the relevant person in charge and announced a new measure.
