You must know that science has no borders, but scientists do. The new moon landing plan announced by the United States in October 2020 is by no means a purely scientific exploration. Behind this are the monopoly of new technologies, the consolidation of the status of a powerful country, and the promotion of the economy. 01. America’s second moon landing belongs to the Eight-Nation Alliance?

Every boy will always see this slogan in the toilet: One small step forward, one giant leap for civilization. This sentence is a paraphrase of the famous saying of the American lunar landing astronauts. Its original sentence is: "That's one small step for me, but one giant leap for mankind", which is the first step for mankind to set foot on the moon. step.

This moon landing plan is called "Apollo Project". It is the fifth manned space mission formulated by NASA. The three astronauts headed by Armstrong successfully completed this mission. , on July 20, 1969, humans successfully landed on the moon and stayed on the moon for 2.5 hours, obtaining various specimens and photos of the moon. At that time, an astonishing 600 million people around the world watched the live broadcast of the moon landing. people.

The new plan announced by NASA in the United States is to form an alliance between the United States, Japan, the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, Luxembourg, Italy and the United Arab Emirates to jointly explore the moon. Obviously, the lunar exploration alliance formed by these eight countries must be led by the United States, which invisibly strengthens its status as the big brother. 02. Trump has made the lunar exploration program a priority

The new plan announced by NASA is called "Artemis", which is the hunting goddess in charge of the moon in ancient Greek mythology. For a name, it is also a very auspicious thing. According to the plan, "Artemis 1" will conduct an unmanned flight in 2021, "Artemis 2" will conduct a manned flight around the moon in 2023, and "Artemis 3" will conduct a manned flight around the moon in 2024 A manned lunar landing is expected to stay on the moon for 7 days and conduct 2-5 exploration activities.

This plan is expected to cost US$28 billion. Trump, a businessman, has also made it a priority and strongly supports its development. Obviously, from a purely economic point of view, it is also a good business with guaranteed profits and no losses.

It is reported that Canada has announced its willingness to contribute money to the project, and the remaining six alliance countries are also willing to comply with some requirements of the plan. They are only the first batch of alliance countries to participate in the plan, and may follow-up. Other countries will join. 03. The return from lunar exploration will be far greater than the investment

We must know that major countries advocate peaceful development and compete for comprehensive strength, and the aerospace industry is the top priority for development. Whoever owns high-tech will have a greater voice and gain more supporters.

The reason why the United States actively carries out lunar exploration work is, on the one hand, for the scientific progress of all mankind, and on the other hand, it also develops itself. With the help of this project, it can master more relevant technologies and conduct research on other countries. Guidance, from which many profits can be made.

Therefore, the aerospace industry must be a battleground for every major country, and rising in peace is also a theme around the world. The US investment of 28 billion US dollars will certainly not make a loss.
