Musk believes that the International Space Station, a space laboratory built by mankind together, has fulfilled its historic mission, and instead of spending huge sums of money to maintain it, it should be decommissioned as soon as possible within 2 years to free up resources for Mars exploration. But Suni Williams says I don’t think it’s time to shut down the ISS, it’s going to last until at least 2030.
Man, Sister Ice.
Beijing time on March 7, 6 o’clock, the U.S. space exploration technology company new generation of heavy launch vehicle starship from the U.S. state of Texas, the launch of the implementation of the eighth test flight.
Rocket liftoff picture
SpaceX’s live broadcast showed that everything was normal at the beginning. About seven minutes after launch, the rocket’s first-stage booster achieved another tower recovery and was caught in mid-air by a robotic arm on the tower as it landed. The control center erupted in applause and cheers.
The robot arm accurately clamped the first stage booster like chopsticks.
But the joy didn’t last a minute when the second stage of the rocket went out of control and then lost contact with the ground team, interrupting the live feed of the spacecraft.
With its eighth failed flight attempt, the Starship once again exploded in mid-air. The Federal Aviation Administration, FAA, issued a no-fly order at four airports, halting all flights to the Miami, Fort Lauderdale, Palm Beach and Orlando airports in Florida, in an effort to locate debris from the Starfleet spacecraft.
Such a failure is the second time Musk has tasted it this year.
On Jan. 16, the seventh launch test of the Starship saw the same successful recovery of the first stage booster and the failure of the second stage to disintegrate. The same thing happened again on the eighth launch test, which is embarrassing for the world’s richest man who can’t step into the same river twice! No wonder he was photographed with an awkward expression on his face.
Musk.
This has raised doubts as to whether his Dragon spacecraft will be able to retrieve the two American astronauts who have been stranded in space for nine months.
When can they go home?
In November last year, Ms. Bing wrote about when the U.S. astronauts, who have been stranded in space for hundreds of days and are so thin that they have lost their looks, will be able to return home. At that time, it was said that the earliest possible time for the astronauts to return to Earth would be February of this year. Now that February is over, their return tickets have not yet been confirmed.
On March 6, President Donald Trump made a surprising comment about the two astronauts stranded on the International Space Station.
Trump stated They’re left there, I hope they get along, maybe they’ll fall in love, who knows?
On the same day, Trump called out the 2 astronauts saying he’d pick them up right away, but then pointed the finger at Biden, saying the most incompetent president in our history caused them to be stranded in space. He also teased female astronaut Williams about her wild hair.
Trump was criticized by many American internet users for this wild comment. They found Trump’s comments about the 2 astronauts offensive and insulting, while others accused Trump of trying to create a political stunt by claiming to have rescued the two astronauts.
No matter how much Trump offended himself on the ground, Barry Wilmore and Suni Williams in the sky had nothing but nice things to say.
On March 5, Williams Wilmore was on the International Space Station for an interview with Nick Hague, a member of NASA’s Commercial Crew Program Crew 9 mission. The two said they had the highest regard for President Trump and Musk. The implication is, hurry up and get us back.
Barry Willmore, right, and Suni Williams, left, are interviewed.
The interview also revealed the detail that they had a chance to be picked up but were delayed for some reason.
In a joint media interview with Musk and Trump at the end of February, it was revealed that the Biden administration didn’t want to jeopardize Harris’s campaign at the time, so it chose to keep the astronauts in space. Musk even complained that if he had been given the job earlier, he would have brought the two back to Earth months ago. He had offered it to the previous administration, but was rejected on the spot.
The two astronauts also made it clear in a video interview that Musk was telling the truth. But they also said they weren’t told exactly what was discussed at the top brass meeting last year, and wondered how many unknown factors were involved. I don’t think any of us can give you an answer.
Faced with the awkward situation at hand that they have to accept, the two are still very much aware of the fact that it’s a part of life. We support it, we support our country, we support the people at the top of our country, and we thank them.
Coming back soon?
While eagerly awaiting Musk’s Dragon spacecraft to take them home, the two stranded American astronauts bravely voiced their disagreement with the richest man closing the ISS.
The two astronauts, who were recently interviewed
The ISS has long been a symbol of human space exploration, having been in orbit for more than 25 years since the launch of the first module in 1998, making it the longest-running human space program in space history. The ISS has produced a wealth of scientific results, from medical research in microgravity to Earth observation, materials science and space technology testing.
However, with aging equipment, high operating costs, and the rise of private spaceflight companies, the future of the ISS is being debated. In fact, the main structural components of the ISS have long exceeded their original design life, and maintenance costs are rising every year. It is estimated that the U.S. has to invest as much as $3 billion a year to maintain it, which is undoubtedly a heavy financial burden for NASA, which is pushing forward with its plans to land on the moon and Mars.
Therefore, Musk believes that the international space station, the human common space laboratory has completed its historical mission, rather than spending huge sums of money to maintain, it is better to decommission as soon as possible within 2 years, freeing up resources to Mars exploration.
But Suni Williams said I don’t think it’s time to shut down the ISS, it’s going to last until at least 2030. The place is still functioning, it’s fantastic. I would say we’re at the top of our game right now. We have all the power, all the facilities are up and running. Now is not the time to let it out!
Suni’s speech was very understandable, from 8 days to 9 months, and although Suni said she’d pretty much forgotten how to walk, and even lost weight to the point of losing her face at one point, the space station was indeed still the place that had kept them well and alive and furthered their work on scientific experiments. A large part of the situation today is not in science, but in politics.
In fact, Boeing’s Starliner, which works closely with NASA, was so plagued by technical troubles that the first manned test mission ended with the two of them stranded on the ISS. Their return was repeatedly delayed due to a series of technical problems, including a malfunctioning spacecraft thruster and a helium leak.
NASA, which had previously been counting on Boeing to bring back the two astronauts, realized it was an impossible task and turned to Musk for help. According to NASA arrangements, stranded in space Williams and Wilmore is expected in March this year, along with two other astronauts aboard the SpaceX spacecraft to return to Earth.
Right now, the SpaceX starship has once again disintegrated in mid-air, setting off big fireworks and praying that the Dragon spacecraft will be able to perform its manned mission well enough for the astronauts to get home as soon as possible.
