In addition, SpaceX can help laid-off NASA employees find new jobs. It can't just steal the country's aerospace talents, right?
Due to all these reasons, Xia Yu’s space mining plan has been shelved until now.
There is only one way to launch this plan, and that is to break free from nationality restrictions and cooperate from the perspective of all mankind.
But this is a bit too idealistic. Brothers raised by the same mother may turn against each other because of interests, not to mention two countries. Therefore, it is better to have an only child to ensure safety. Just have one child and don't fight or compete with each other.
In many science fiction works, by the 22nd and 23rd centuries, humans will no longer have different nationalities, and the Earth will have a federation that can concentrate the power of all mankind.
It is the 21st century now, and it should be impossible before 2100, but Xia Yu can make some attempts, such as becoming a customer of SpaceX.
"Elon, is the Falcon Heavy still $90 million per launch?"
"This is the price for sending cargo to low-Earth orbit, but if the destination is the moon, double the price might not be enough."
Musk thought for a moment and said.
"It's too expensive. I was saying we should build a mining lab on the moon first."
Xia Yu said with some regret that he would not dare to spend less than 200 million US dollars to buy a one-way cargo ticket to the moon until his net worth increased from tens of billions of RMB to tens of billions of US dollars.
"It's a crazy idea, but building a laboratory is easier to implement than opening a mine. If you're sure you want to do this, I'll give you the best discount."
Musk was infected by Xia Yu's madness. What did it matter if he lost some profits? He also wanted to see the first experimental base on the moon.
"I won't be shy about asking for help, but it will take a few years to prepare the lab equipment. Wait for my good news."
It is easy to be strangled by others without your own rocket, but not doing it because of fear is not Xia Yu's style.
He is making preparations here first. Maybe by the time he is ready, the system's spacecraft will be in place, and then he can not only go to the moon, but also to Mars.
It would be even better if the spacecraft had a space jump function. He could then go to all known Earth-like planets as outposts to see whether they are suitable for human habitation.
Time passed quickly as we talked. The setting sun shone through the glass curtain wall, and the sky gradually darkened.
The two of them, still unsatisfied, returned to their new home on Yuyuan Road. Xia Yu cooked a dinner himself, which was not rich but very delicious.
