Is it reasonable for me to build a space elevator when filming The Wandering Earth?

"It's not something we should think about!

We just need to do our part!"

the intelligence chief ignored the questions raised by his subordinates.

In his eyes, the most efficient solution to this matter is to send an elite special service team to carry out the decapitation operation.

All the scientific researchers related to a series of technologies such as 'space elevator', 'industrial mass production technology of carbon nanomaterials', and 'navigator space station' will be eliminated.

This is the plan that the intelligence director really wants to implement, and the real quick cut through the mess is in line with the way their North American Intelligence Center has been doing things for so many years.

However, upon hearing his suggestion, the big boss immediately scolded him in an even more angry tone, telling him to keep this extremely stupid plan in the back of his mind forever.

The reason is simple, the enemies they are facing now are no longer those small countries in South America, the Middle East and other regions that can be flattened and rounded by North America.

Sending special agents to infiltrate other countries to carry out high-value target beheading programs

is a proper way to trigger the rhythm of war.

In particular, the other side is also one of the five permanent members with complete sovereignty and strong economic and military strength.

There must be no direct and head-on military conflict between the P5, because there is no guarantee that if a military conflict breaks out between them, it will not eventually turn into a terrible 'nuclear conflict'.

Obviously, the big boss can't afford such a responsibility, especially at this juncture when he is seeking re-election.

If something really happens, his intelligence director can spread his hands, shift the responsibility to the big boss, and at most resign and apologize.

But the political life of the big boss is about to be completely ended.

So the 'decapitation plan' was rejected as soon as it was proposed.

In its place is another-for-tat project in space: the relaunch of the lunar landing program.

The big boss knows that even if North America successfully lands on the moon again and sends their people to the moon again, this will not change the fact that North America's competitiveness in the space field has been surpassed by the dragon country.

But in order to regain his popularity and seek re-election, he had to do so.

Almost everyone at NASA also knows that even if the moon landing program is successfully restarted, North America's interests on the moon will not be guaranteed.

After all, they don't have a space elevator, they don't have a super-large space station under construction, and they can't actually control the moon.

The most they can do is send someone to land on the moon again, leave a few more footprints, plant a few more flags by the way, and that's it.

But NASA members can only be silent about this, because they also need funding, and who doesn't want their salaries and bonuses to become more lucrative?

Over the years, the private company Space X has stolen a lot of the limelight belonging to NASA.

Some lawmakers have even suggested that NASA be completely abolished and that all aerospace missions in North America be outsourced to Space X in the future.

Without the Dragon Country's space elevator and the Navigator space station program, NASA would probably remain silent like this, and the resources and financial support it would receive would be less and less.

At the moment, NASA employees have mixed feelings.

On the one hand, they are worried about the sudden rise of the Dragon Kingdom in the field of space, and even began to surpass North America.

On the other hand, they are also silent about the 'restart of the moon landing' program, which has little practical value.

Because they need congressional appropriations to bring about a boost in wages and bonuses.

As for the largest and most ignorant people in North America, they are the ones who are most excited about the 'restart of the moon landing' program.

When they were born, North America was the 'beacon' of the free world, and people all over the world were envious of North America's power.

Unparalleled economic and military prowess has given the people unparalleled self-confidence.

And recently, a rising star has tried in vain to challenge their country in the field of space science and technology,

which is intolerable to countless North Americans.

In the face of such a challenge, recreating the glorious deeds of half a century ago and landing on the moon again will undoubtedly restore the confidence of the people.

As for how many resources will be consumed by this lunar landing operation supported by a chemical-fueled launch vehicle, how much money will be taken up in the national treasury, and how much real value it will bring, the majority of the people do not understand and do not care.

In fact, the North American moon landing program that is about to be restarted has been 'in preparation' for many years.

North American officials have given all the support, except for the most critical financial allocations.

NASA has also conducted dozens of process deductions, but they are only computer models, because NASA does not even have a suitable launch vehicle in its warehouse.

But now the situation has changed dramatically.

The "Restart the Moon Landing" plan was launched at the juncture of the high-profile announcement of the "Navigator Space Station" by the Dragon Nation, and it was immediately enthusiastically supported by the North American people.

The big boss's support rate, which was almost at the bottom, rebounded quickly at a speed visible to the naked eye.

This strengthened the big boss's determination to carry out the 'restart of the moon landing' plan.

Huge funds were allocated in place, and the aerospace forces throughout North America immediately began to operate like a spinning top being whipped.

"How's the Artemis 2 rocket doing?"

"Director, the engineering team has checked and the mechanics are in good condition.

However, this launch vehicle was borrowed from Space X, and it was not originally considered to carry people into space, and the additional life support system may be a little mismatched... Listening

to the 'complaints' of his subordinates, the NASA director frowned.

"There's no time to rebuild another launch vehicle, and even if we wait, the Big Boss won't allow it.

We have to land on the moon before the dragons!

The problem of the life support system will be overcome by the astronauts when the time comes.

This is a scientific and technological war with the Dragon Kingdom, and every astronaut must be prepared to be a warrior!"

Speaking of this, the director of NASA asked about another important thing as the launch vehicle, the astronaut selection for the moon landing mission.

"It has been decided, a total of four astronauts.

They are the Female Task Specialist (Transgender), Christina Koch.

Jeffie Hansen, a mission specialist at the University of Grammatica.

African-American driver, Victor Glover.

and the Anglo-American commander-in-command, Reed Wiseman. Hearing

the list of candidates, NASA director couldn't help but frown again, this is simply too politically correct.

As if he had guessed his inner thoughts, his subordinates hurriedly explained.

"Director, this is the right person for the team.

Women must be on the team, and Christina's transgender status can also bring support from the LGBT community in the country.

There must also be at least one person of color, plus the Anglo-American identity of a member of the Mada nationality and the commander of the command, which can also bring the support of North American allies... "
