Just now, the booster rocket separated, the first and second stage rockets separated, and the rocket discarded the fairing.
Because the maximum carrying capacity was used this time, the booster rocket could not be recovered. After consuming the last of its fuel, it fell mercilessly into the sea.
The spacecraft quickly caught up with the rocket, and under the electro-optical stealth, it approached and watched it slowly enter the predetermined orbit.
It's a truly amazing feeling, but the average distance between the Earth and the Moon is 380,000 kilometers, and it's impossible to fly directly across the shortest distance like Prometheus did, so the time spent in orbit will be even longer.
From launch to landing, it will take at least two days. This time, Xia Yu plans to witness the landing of the laboratory before returning.
“Walter, keep an eye on it for me. I’m going to take a nap first.”
After staying up until the early morning, Xia Yu was tired. He handed over the control of the spacecraft to Walter and went to his own exclusive cabin.
Because of the simulated gravity system, you don’t have to sleep floating like those astronauts. You will feel very secure lying on the soft big bed.
This bed seems to be more advanced than the ones on Earth, an ergonomic bed?
It’s not the kind that cheats the nouveau riche. Xia Yu can clearly feel the fit between the mattress and his spine.
It’s over, it’s over. He doesn’t want the Xia Group to have another “IKEA”. Humans should learn to endure hardships. But this bed is so comfortable!
Xia Yu fell asleep quickly after relaxing. When he woke up six hours later, the rocket outside the window was still climbing up little by little.
Xiu Xiu is sleeping soundly on the control panel. All the buttons are locked, so there is no need to worry about accidental operation. Just let it sleep here!
"Walter, are you bored?"
"Mr. Xia, this is my job."
Capitalists must like employees like Walter who never complain of being tired even though they are like 007. Unfortunately, it is still a long time before humans can develop usable simulated bio-humans. Workers should just continue working!
"Let's go ahead and greet the laboratory on the moon."
"Yes, Mr. Xia!"
Prometheus began to accelerate, breaking free from the Earth's gravitational pull, and arrived at the moon, 300,000 kilometers away in an instant.
Having passed by it several times, this was Xia Yu's first visit to the moon. He played "Above the Moon" as the background music for the moon landing. It was a popular street song when I was in elementary school. Hair salons and dollar stores loved to play it, and many people used it as their ringtone.
Listening to the song, the spacecraft slowly landed on the surface of the moon. Xia Yu also changed into his extravehicular suit and took a look at the real-time weather forecast. The temperature outside was minus 143 degrees Celsius.
