"Ask heaven" to take off, and the American media took the "Turtle Rabbit Race" to compare the development of China and the United States. Experts refute!

Aerospace fans cheer

The Chinese Space Station, also known as Tiangong, is a manned space station for China independently built and operated. It consists of three cabins of Tianhe Core Card, Wentian Experimental Card, and Mengtian Experimental Cels. Among them, Tianhe's core compartment was launched on April 29, 2021. So far, three batches of Chinese astronauts have been received. Ask the Tiangtian Experimental Cels is the second cabin section of the China Space Station and the first scientific experimental cabin; The cabin plan will be launched in October this year.

"On a sunny and warm morning, a group of Chinese aerospace fans gathered on the beach near the Hainan Rocket Launch Area in southern China. Others are squeezed on the roof of the seaside hotel." The New York Times 24 On the day, the 26 -year -old space fan Zhang Jingyi (transliteration) and about 30 people raised a camera on the roof of the hotel. She booked the hotel 4 months ago, which was her 19th "chasing the Rockets". "There are more people than ever," she said.

At 14:22 on July 24th, the Long March 5 Yao Three Load Rockets equipped with the Tiantian Experimental Cels was launched on time at the Wenchang Aerospace launcher in Wenchang. (Xinhua News Agency)

The Global Times reporter saw at the launch site on the 24th that although the outdoor temperature at noon in Wenchang, Hainan in August, it was still difficult to reach the enthusiasm of people from all over the world to watch the launch. The beach near the launch site is considered the best place for watching the launch. Many people and photography enthusiasts come here even at two or three in the morning to seize the best viewing point. The road leading to the space launch site once had a traffic jam because there were too many people who came to see the launch.

The enthusiasm of the people is the spectacularity of the rocket. At 14:22, the Long March 5 Rockets ignited on time and lift off on time, holding a 23 -ton question compartment into the sky. Along with the huge roar, many people at the scene waved their national flags and shouted, and made amazing. The atmosphere at the scene was very warm.

Although many people came to watch the launch, Hainan's local epidemic prevention was not relaxed. For the people who come to Hainan to watch the launch in other places, a nucleic acid detection needs to be performed after leaving the airport. In public places such as hotels and restaurants in Wenchang City, Hainan's health code needs to be provided.

It is worth mentioning that many people came to watch the launch with their children. Because during the summer vacation, many institutions also organized young people to watch the launch activities in a children's summer camp. An organizer of a summer camp told the Global Times reporter that the "Space Class" and other activities of China Space Station planted a "aerospace dream" in the hearts of many young people. Aerospace opportunity. Many children feel the charm of science and technology and the strength of the motherland by watching the rocket launch. "This is undoubtedly the best patriotic education." The organizer told the Global Times reporter.

The American "Space" News Network said on the 24th that the literal meaning of "asking the sky" is "questioning to the sky", which is the second of the three modules of the space station built by China. Chinese astronauts will soon hold a live lecture on a scientific lecture on the test cabin.

Three astronauts "rubbing your hands and looking forward to the arrival of a big house"

The people on the ground applauded and congratulated, and the people in the "heaven" were also waiting for "rubbing their hands" -also watching the three astronauts of Shenzhou 14th astronauts on the 24th: Chen Dong and Liu Yang And Cai Xuzhe. They focused and excitedly watched the photos of the live broadcast of the Tianshi experimental cabin infected many netizens. It is understood that compared with the heavens and the core compartment, the test compartment is heavier and larger. It is equipped with the same aerospace living facilities as the core compartment. In the future The life of the staff. Therefore, on the 24th, many netizens joked that three astronauts were "looking forward to the arrival of big houses."

Agence France -Presse and other Western media reported on the 24th that the report of the launch of the test cabin was successfully launched on the 24th. It is reported that this is a key step in the construction of Chinese space stations. For the Chinese astronauts in Tiangong, the connection between the test compartment and the core compartment of the heavenly experimental cabin is a challenge because it requires continuous and high -precision operations. It is reported to quote Harvard -Smithson Astronomy Center Astronomometer Jonathan McDonel: "This is the first time that China has connected such a huge aircraft together, this is a delicate operation. Late 2022, a little later, a little later, a little later, a little later, a little later, a little later. China will also launch a new experimental cabin. In the end, the ability of China Space Station will be greatly enhanced, and there is enough space and motivation for more scientific experiments. "

According to Russia's "Life" News Network, Russia is very concerned about China's achievements in the aerospace field. The Vice Chairman of the Aerospace Industry Legislative Supervision and Supervision Expert Committee of the Russian Council (Parliament's upper court) congratulated Chinese colleagues on the 24th. He said that the key to the success of the Chinese aerospace plan is to have forward -looking and rich experience.

Reuters reported on the 24th that asked the launch of the Sky Experimental Cels was one of the last tasks of China completed the space station construction by the end of this year. (Part 1) "The Chinese space station after completion is about 1/5 of the quality of the international space station, which will become the pride of the Chinese." India's newspaper Ttaras said that China may become the only country with rail space station in the future. "The existing international space station is a cooperative project of multiple countries. Observer said that once the international space station retires in the next few years, the China Palace may become the only space station in the orbit." The US media compared China and the United States for space. "?

The "fast -paced space plan", Agence France -Presse on the 24th that China has made great progress in chasing the United States and Russia, which has decades of experience in space exploration. The report quoted Chen Lan (transliteration), an analyst of the Chinese Aerospace Program, saying: "China Space Station will complete construction in just one and a half years. Below, the construction of Russia's "Peace" and the International Space Station took 10 and 12 years respectively. "

The development of China's aerospace industry is later than the United States and the Soviet Union. This is an objective fact. However, the New York Times reported on the 24th that it was derogated and daunting in China. The report quoted Dr. Namrata Gosvani, a space book writer, saying that the Chinese space plan has surpassed Russia in terms of complexity, and is leading the moon and Mars detection plans. On the other hand, the report quoted Joan Johnson-Friez, a professor at the School of War of the United States Naval War, saying that what China has done in space has been done by the United States, "but it is reaching technical equivalent, which is what the United States is concerned about. question". Compared with the "hare" in the United States, the expert compares China's space plan to a "turtle", "although the speed of turtles has accelerated greatly in recent years."

Huang Zhicheng told the Global Times reporter on the 24th that it was obviously incorrect to compare the development of Sino -US manned space industry to the "Turtle Rabbit Run". Our manned space is far from the United States. From 2003, Shenzhou 5 sent the astronaut Yang Liwei to space and built the China Space Station at the end of this year. It does not exceed 20 years. It took about 50 years from the first astronaut to the sky to the establishment of the International Space Station. The world's human -owned space technology follows the common development law. China has avoided many detours abroad and learned their lessons. In addition, the Chinese Space Station has the advantage of post -issuing, innovating in many key technologies.
