buy a world to play

Chapter 533. 531.
Some people have said that this will only prove that Musk's investment vision is superior to others, and cannot be used as a basis for conspiracy theories.

Then let's move on.

Elon Musk is not only an "idealist", but also an "actionist".After everything was ready, he directly named SpaceX's first rocket "Falcon 1", and set a strict timetable to launch the first rocket 15 months after the company was established. Recovery" rocket.

Let alone the "recycling" gimmick.With the planning time of [-] months alone, those who write online articles dare not edit it like this, and they will be sprayed to death by readers.If there is no support behind it and we start from scratch, no one would dare to utter such wild words.

To this end, Elon Musk and his employees started working crazily, but facts have proved that even with NASA elites and mature technology, this naive idea is unrealistic.

A year later, SpaceX's rocket factory had begun to take shape, so Elon Musk began to try rocket launches.

On November 2005, 11, the "Falcon 26" leaked liquid oxygen and the launch was cancelled.

On December 2005, 12, the launch was delayed again due to a valve failure.

On February 2006, 2, it was delayed again due to problems with pre-launch engine tests.

On March 2006, 3, the dystocia "Falcon 25" was officially ignited and launched for the first time, but 1 seconds later, due to an engine fire, it fell directly on the launch site before taking off.

This is the trade-off between cost and quality. It is not that removing the cost of bureaucratic internal friction can greatly reduce the funds required for rocket research and development.

Obviously, the "New NASA Program" does not have the financial advantages of the "Star Wars" period. The naivete and continuous failures of taking it for granted made them realize that this program needs more funds.

then……

In March 2006, Elon Musk "singlely" invested 3 million US dollars. On August 1, SpaceX announced that it had won the NASA Commercial Orbital Transportation Service contract;

As soon as the good news came out, investments and orders came one after another.And what happened behind the scenes, no one knows.

2008年9月28日，第一次成功发射，12月23日，SpaceX宣布它获得NASA价值16亿美元的商业补给服务的合同；
Less than three months after the successful launch, the state funds were quickly put in place, and the two parties and the House of Representatives, who are good at wrangling, had no objections, and they handled things surprisingly efficiently.

On June 2013, 6, SpaceX announced that it would be responsible for launching Turkmenistan's first artificial satellite.The satellite was originally planned to use the Long March series of rockets, but the order finally fell into the hands of SpaceX due to the restrictions of the US government;

The one-country policy personally gave the green light to grab an order for a "private company", ha ha.

In 2014, SpaceX suffered a series of setbacks when its Falcon 9R rocket exploded in mid-air.On September 9, NASA announced at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida that Boeing and Space Exploration Technologies (SpaceX) won a $16 billion "space taxi" contract.

So far, the identity of the "US state-owned enterprise" has not been concealed, and SpaceX has completely become a "national enterprise" at the same level as Boeing!
…………

Lu Yuan deeply hates the private use of public equipment, but it depends on where.

If the enemy does this, Lu Yuan is still very supportive.

However, this farce on the bright side made Lu Yuan unable to laugh.

After ten years of planning, this important chess piece in the future space battle has been quietly laid.

Rich, talented, with a steady stream of cash cows, with overt and covert policy support, in an enterprise that has broken away from layers of shackles, there is still a gleaming and sparkling signboard persona that countless media have polished...

If Lu Yuan isn't a person who is responsible for the small world, then what this company and its owner show to the world is more like the protagonist of a YY novel.

There is reason to believe that there are many people in this world who can see the tricks in this, but they are powerless to do anything about it.

An aboveboard conspiracy is the most difficult to decipher, not to mention that behind it there is a capital empire that is somewhat loose but still difficult to shake.

A declining old empire, an empire dominated by energy sources, finally found a breach in its afterglow before the hegemony of land and sea gradually faded away.

The vast starry sky that humans have looked up to for hundreds of thousands of years.

And with the addition of SpaceX to that starry sky, there will never be any possibility of peace.

Knowing that the two orbiting satellites might collide, they still ignored the contact sent by the European Space Agency, forcing the "Fengshen" satellite to ignite and change orbit three times, thus avoiding the accident.

Then, what is the conclusion?

The reply given by the US side was that the company’s communication system had malfunctioned, which prevented the technicians from seeing the emails of the follow-up developments.

Rocket Center, brother!system error?You did not receive the message?

I think that the person in charge of the European Space Agency at that time must have countless alpacas galloping past in his heart.

"Hehe" three times in a row can make a wave.

Judging from this trivial matter, the arrogance of the old empire can be seen, even though it is old, it is still unquestionable.

The "Insight Project" in Hollywood movies is not some crazy raving, at least most of them are achievable with today's technological level.

You know, before the emergence of SpaceX, the launch cost of Huaxia Aerospace was the lowest in the world.

And the competitor uses the "national system" to hold out a "private company" that can throw off China's aerospace industry, and its purpose is just to lower costs and seize the future commercial aerospace market?

Lu Yuan didn't believe it, but felt terrified when he thought about it carefully.

…………

The destination of the second trip to the United States is still the west, but the last time the inland is not feasible, this time the goal is the coastal Washington State - Seattle.

The dinner party that Lu Yuan was invited to will be held here, and the venue was cleverly chosen in Xanadu 2.0.

Located in the "landmark" of Lake Washington, Gates spent 7 years and 9700 million US dollars, with enough wealth to acquire a small and medium-sized listed company, to build this imitation of newspaper tycoon Charles Kay in "Citizen Kane". The amazing architecture of the Mansion.

Such a choice is self-evident. This banquet is by no means as simple as imagined, and it is more likely that there will be a gathering of big shots.

Everything was ready, and Lu Yuan and Chen Mingda, who had been wandering around Seattle for two days, drove to the place where the banquet was held.

The car was a Tesla specially delivered to the hotel by the inviting party. Lin Anna had already ordered the clothes needed for Lu Yuan to attend the dinner through the Internet across the ocean, and they were delivered to the hotel reception on the third day after Lu Yuan arrived.

It's a two-hour drive, but this time the experience is much longer than the previous journey.

The theory of relativity shows its power, and the bad experience of sitting with a car of rough men is fully exposed...
