Chapter 162, Astronauts Visit Uncle Sam
In the Wells area on the front side of the moon, a spacecraft slowly landed on the surface of the moon. When astronaut Alan Glenn once again set foot on the surface of the moon, the whole country rejoiced. After half a century, Uncle Sam finally returned to the moon. Once on the surface of the planet closest to the earth.
Three astronauts, Alan Glenn, John Shepard, and Guyon Collins, wore spacesuits and carefully landed on the surface of the moon. They planted the Stars and Stripes flag and officially declared that the Wells area centered on it belonged to Uncle Sam.
Next comes the busy work. Because the space and carrying capacity of the manned lunar landing spacecraft are very limited, only three astronauts can land on the moon at a time. The workload of the three of them is very heavy, and they have already been sent The lunar engineering vehicle that arrived here has already driven over to join them.
Driving a lunar engineering vehicle, the three astronauts began to transport the materials scattered around and previously launched to the moon in preparation for building a lunar base.
Relying on launch vehicles to transport materials into space, and then transporting them from space to the moon through spacecraft, it can be said that on the moon, everything is very precious, and the cost of everything can be equal to its quality. The price is comparable to that of gold.
Uncle Sam is definitely not as lavish as China, and many things can only be as simple and practical as possible. Not to mention that the cost of building a lunar base is definitely not small. The materials launched here in advance are constantly collected to control the lunar project. The car began to lay the foundation and build the base.
On the Earth side, Uncle Sam and the whole country are paying attention to this manned moon landing. Everything is normal. The streets and alleys are full of cheers and celebrations. People are singing and dancing to be proud of their space hero.
At the same time, just as Uncle Sam's space hero is building his own lunar base, here in Chang'e City on the moon, a new batch of lunar tourists are enjoying their wonderful journey to the moon.
In the Chang'e City restaurant, directly facing the earth, there are more than 20 top rich people from Uncle Sam sitting on several tables. Several of them are very famous, like Warren~Buffett, who is nearly 90 years old. , who dare to travel to the moon at such an advanced age, sometimes I have to admire their bodies and hearts.
In addition, there are Bill Gates, Jeff Bezos, Larry Alison, etc., each of whom is worth a lot of money and a world-class rich man. Of course, there are some that although you have never heard of them, But he is an invisible top rich man. At this time, many rich people who came from Uncle Sam gathered together and seemed to be discussing something while enjoying the delicious food of the Moon Restaurant.
"Dennis is right. If you can visit the moon in your lifetime and enjoy delicious food in the moon restaurant in Chang'e City while looking at the earth from a distance, you will have no regrets in life!"
Buffett, who is nearly 90 years old, looked at the earth outside the window, the blue planet exuding the halo of life. He couldn't help but let out a long sigh. In fact, he had already prepared to face it before traveling here. I was prepared to die, but I didn't expect that China's space technology was so advanced, and nothing seemed to happen.
"Yes, it is indeed a great enjoyment in life."
Gates also nodded. The rich people among Uncle Sam can be said to be the most adventurous rich people in the world. They are also the most active in things like traveling to the moon. Among the people who travel to the moon every time, the most people are from Uncle Sam. .
"Hi, gentlemen, our space heroes have successfully landed on the moon!"
Bezos said loudly to the people around him, looking very excited.
"That's great! Gentlemen, let's toast to this."
When Buffett heard this, he stood up happily and said to the rich people around him. When everyone heard this, they all stood up, picked up the tea in their hands and drank it as wine.
"Hi, gentlemen, I have a proposal. I don't know if you are interested. The location where our astronauts will land on the moon is in the Wells area, which is only more than 200 kilometers away from Chang'e City. Isn't there an activity to drive a lunar rover tomorrow? How about we all go and see our space heroes?"
Bezos rolled his eyes and actually made a proposal that stunned everyone. He actually said that everyone should drive a lunar rover to the Wells area to visit the astronauts who were building a lunar base on the moon.
"Wow wow wow, this is such a great idea!"
"Good!"
When the others heard this, they all screamed excitedly. They are also on the moon and not far away. Don't tell me, you can really visit them.
"Bezos, I have always admired your brain. This time I am really impressed. You actually thought of us driving a lunar rover to visit our astronauts."
Gates' eyes widened as he looked at Bezos and couldn't help but sigh.
"The idea is very good, but will the Chinese allow us to go?"
Even Buffett, who is almost 90 years old, can't help but feel excited. Being able to meet astronauts from his own country on the moon is definitely something that he never dared to think about before.
"Why is it not allowed? We are tourists and customers. The worst we can do is spend more money. We will cancel activities such as driving the lunar rover, visiting the lunar mines, and mountain climbing tomorrow, and instead go to Wells.
Bezos said with certainty as if it were a matter of course.
"Well, I think it should be feasible. After all, it's all lunar activities. It doesn't matter where you go. We just change it. It will definitely work if we give more money."
Alison also nodded in support.
"I think we can do more than just visit our astronauts. We can all contribute money to purchase a batch of supplies in Chang'e City and bring them over. Let alone buy some food, water, etc. I heard that our astronauts eat very poor food, which can only guarantee nutrition but not taste. I think if we bring a steak, it will definitely be a good gift."
Bezos's imagination continued to open up, and he even proposed to purchase a batch of supplies to bring over, which made everyone present couldn't help but give Bezos a thumbs up.
"Not only to bring supplies, I have learned in advance that the lunar engineering vehicle we drive is not only for transportation, but also has various functions. Maybe we can also go there to help build a lunar base."
"Well, why don't we contact the scientists in China and NASA and ask them to help see which supplies are better to bring over? As far as I know, it is very expensive for us to use rockets to launch spacecraft, while China uses aerospace planes with large carrying capacity and very low transportation costs."
"If we can, we can purchase as many useful supplies as possible from Chang'e City and bring them over, which can save a lot of expenses and funds for our country."
"We can post fundraising on our respective homepages and Moments, and use all the donations to raise more supplies, and we can each personally come up with funds."
With Bezos's opening, the wealthy people present began to open their minds one by one, and proposed one after another, and soon a complete plan appeared.
Bezos was elected as the leader of the action team. He was responsible for contacting the person in charge of the Chang'e base on the Chinese moon. On the one hand, he allowed them to visit the astronauts in the Wells area, and on the other hand, he hoped to purchase a large amount of supplies from Chang'e City.
Gates became the person in charge of the funds for this action, responsible for collecting the funds raised for this event; Allison was responsible for contacting Uncle Sam's NASA at home, asking NASA scientists to list a detailed list of the materials that needed to be purchased, how much was needed, etc.
Buffett, who was the oldest and had a wider network of relationships, began to be a beggar and began to raise more funds from his wealthy friends to purchase materials. The division of labor was clear and the action was quick.
"Mr. Yan Ping, I'm really sorry to bother you."
Bezos found Yan Ping, the person in charge of receiving their tour in Chang'e City on the moon, and said in a very apologetic tone.
"Mr. Bezos, is there anything I can do for you?"
Yan Ping smiled slightly. Now they are his customers, God, and the objects of his service. So if there are any needs, as long as they are not too excessive, they will generally be met. Of course, the service provided by Yan Ping is naturally very expensive. Since the beginning of the lunar tourism service, the funds of the China Space Agency have begun to save. In just a few months, it has earned a huge amount of funds of hundreds of billions of US dollars.
"It's like this, Mr. Yan Ping, our Uncle Sam is not carrying out manned lunar landing activities. Our astronauts are only more than 200 kilometers away from Chang'e City. More than 20 of us are discussing that we want to visit our country's astronauts, so we hope to change the next itinerary."
"More than 20 of us will not visit the lunar mine, climb the lunar mountain, etc., but go to the Wells area to visit our astronauts. I wonder if this is okay?"
Bezos put forward the plan and said with expectant eyes.
"Well, changing the original plan is risky..."
"We are willing to pay extra for this."
Yan Ping frowned, and before he finished speaking, Bezos showed a sugar-coated bullet.
"Since you are willing to pay extra for this, I think it should not be a big problem. Anyway, it is also part of the moon tourism, as long as you are willing."
Yan Ping thought carefully in his mind, and finally nodded slowly and agreed.
