“This **** Musk!”
Bolden threw the documents in his hands on the desk fiercely, and sat on the boss chair with a buttocks. His heavy breath was about to burst into flames.
As Director of NASA, he has always favored spaceX, seeing it as a representative of American private aviation companies. Whenever there are good projects, the first thing he thinks of is them, but Musk now tells him that they have outsourced the supply mission of the International Space Station to Xinghuan Trading?
What-The-F.U.C.K!
How dare they, how can they do this!
Traitor, this is Chi Guoguo’s betrayal!
The other staff members in the office were silent, and even Bolden ’s assistant speeded up his pace when he passed by his desk. Everyone knows why the grumpy old black man was angry. SpaceX actually outsourced the mission of the International Space Station. Even they are incredible.
The aerospace market is a highly fragmented market. Generally speaking, even if the launch price of spaceX is even lower, China and Russia will not give it their own launch projects. Each country’s market has a maximum of 10-30 launch missions a year, and it is still tense to feed local aviation companies. Where can it be sent out to others?
Russia ’s outsourcing of supply tasks to Xinghuan Trading is an exception, on the one hand because of its own economic situation, and on the other hand because Jiang Chen promised to sell the RM-320 rocket engine used by Xinghuan Trading to Russian Aerospace Corporation … Although RM-320 has now been eliminated by Xinghuan Trading itself, Jiang Chen did fulfill the contract.
But in the United States, there is absolutely no such accident.
What makes Bolden angry most is that he once touted the Falcon 10 rocket in Congress, what “epoch-making technology”, “rocket that will change the future of mankind”, “Hope for America” and so on. The title of “no money” was thrown on the project that had not yet achieved results.
However, Musk told him now-“Sorry, our Falcon 10 rocket development plan was cancelled.”
Oh! God! I will definitely be the laughing stock of Congress!
Just when Bolden was full of anger, his assistant came over tremblingly and said quickly, “Musk is outside, he said he would find you.”
Bolden raised his eyebrows, forcibly suppressing his anger, and said to his assistant, “Let him come to see me.”
“Yes …” the assistant nodded and left quickly.
He knows that his boss is now on the edge of the crater. The reason why there was no roaring was just the tranquility before the storm.
Soon, the door of the office opened and a man in a coat came in.
Bolden hummed with a nasal voice, and his sharp eyes fixed on him.
“I am about to find you, but you came to your door.”
Musk coughed and said. “Listen to my explanation …”
“Explain to Congress.” Bolden scolded, “You are outsourcing subsidized projects to foreign companies, are you crazy about thinking about money!”
“Of course I will explain to Congress, in fact, I have already prepared the materials for the hearing.”
Unprepared, if you do n’t come up with a reasonable explanation, the budget servants of the budget committee are afraid that they will directly transfer him from the Congressional hearing to the federal court.
After a short pause, Musk continued blushing and saying, “One thing I must clarify, I just outsourced the launch mission to the Star Ring Trade, but the supply is still done by us. “
Bolden, who is still angry, sneered and said, “Is there any difference?”
“Do you think it makes sense to go back to the ground and synchronize the orbit through a chemical rocket?” Musk asked rhetorically.
Bolden’s eyebrows flicked and he was just about to speak, but he suddenly froze.
Yeah, the space elevator has been completed. What is the point of continuing to develop chemical rockets? That is not the future at all!
Just now he was angry, and the whole person could not calmly think because he lost his mind. Now calm down and think about it, it is not a wise choice to give up the Falcon series of rockets. As an expert in the aerospace field, Bolden knew exactly where the limits of chemical rockets are.
Seeing that his old friend had calmed down, Musk was relieved and continued to speak while hot.
“I swear that I will spend all of the budget saved from the February launch project and the Falcon 10 Rocket R & D plan on the development of the third-generation Dragon spacecraft. In the past few years, we have continuously improved hunting Eagle Rocket, and the Dragon Spaceship series plan has been stalled for too long, now it ’s time to bury it further. “
Bolden ’s face is still gloomy, but there has been a trace of loosening, “This means that we have to borrow the space elevator of the Star Ring Trade for decades to come.”
“There are also ports and berths at the terminal space station. I tried Jiang Chen when I called him. The Star Ring Trade is very sensitive to the lease of space elevator tracks, and there is little room for negotiation, but they do not exclude the leasing of the terminal space station. Ports and berths. “At this point, Musk paused slightly.” There are three days to be the UN Outer Space Summit. I think … this information can be used as a reference. “
Bolden’s eyes lightened slightly.
Getting up from the boss chair immediately, the old black meteor strode to the assistant’s desk.
“Meet in the meeting room one hour later, NASA executives must be present and give me orders.”
“Yes!” The assistant stood up and was about to leave the desk, but Bolden reached over and stopped his shoulder.
“Also, contact the White House for me!” Bolden said, “I hope that the White House will pay enough attention to it, and it is best to send someone over to make a note. Remember, do n’t be an intern!”
“Understood.” The assistant nodded quickly.
Before leaving, the Mexican-American assistant glanced at Musk. He didn’t understand how this guy calmed his boss’ anger. He originally thought that two people would fight after meeting each other. After all, it is not unusual to start fighting after quarreling in the “office culture” of the federal government.
After the assistant left, Bolden gave several orders to his men in succession to ensure that everyone moved before returning to his desk to sit down. His mouth was a little dry. He was about to drink water, but remembered that his assistant had already arranged for the meeting.
Just as he was about to get up and make a cup of himself, a cup of coffee just happened to be in front of him.
“I need your help at the Congressional hearing.” Taking advantage of the old friend’s time, Musk made a cup of coffee for him.
Bolden raised his eyebrows, glanced at the coffee, and then at Musk.
“I will help you, but the key is still up to you.”
Musk smiled.
“I’m relieved if you have this sentence.”
Just when NASA was engaged in intense discussions for the upcoming UN summit, Jiang Chen had already concluded a separate meeting with representatives from China, the United States, Russia, and the United Kingdom. Although not much has been achieved, Jiang Chen has made sufficient preparations for the upcoming summit.
After this summit, the world ’s political landscape will not necessarily have any substantial changes.
But the history of human civilization will definitely be rewritten for it. (To be continued.)
