"China" is a brick, and you can move wherever you are short of money. Just like a group of politicians in the United States, Bill Nelson, director of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, has also familiarized this "wealth code" with all his heart.

"China" is a brick, wherever you lack money, just like a group of politicians in the United States, Bill Nelson, director of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), has also familiarized this "wealth code" with heart.

According to US media reports on May 17, Nelson made groundless accusations at the hearing of the U.S. House Appropriations Committee that day, although China has made amazing achievements in the aerospace project, its aerospace technology has "plagiarized" from the United States, and he claimed that the appearance design of the rocket carriers in China and the United States is "amazingly similar."

This is to "spray dirty water" to China in order to "take money". Nelson declared that to ensure U.S. R&D results, measures must be taken to maintain cybersecurity and increase fiscal appropriations, rather than requiring NASA to improve innovation.

China's aerospace field has made major breakthroughs and remarkable achievements again and again. Although NASA expressed its congratulations at the first time, Bill Nelson has made many tough remarks, exaggerating China as an "aggressive competitor", claiming that China is challenging the US's space leadership and must always "follow China".

Nelson, who has served as a member of the Congress, is also well aware of the "password for money". He talked about China every time at the hearings between the Senate and House of Representatives, calling on Congress to approve more budgets to NASA.

According to Bloomberg on the 17th, Bill Nelson warned at the hearing that day that the tension between the United States and China in the space field is intensifying. It said that the United States is launching an space race with China. Just as the Soviet Union and the United States back then, "(now) China has developed the Mars rover , established the space station , etc.... These aerospace technologies are impressive."

However, "when things happen abnormally, there will be monsters." Sure enough, he changed his mind and began to slander that China's aerospace technology was "stealed" from the United States.

According to the American technology website Futurism, Rep. Robert Adholt, a Republican member of Alabama, asked at the meeting, saying that given the "amazingly similar" design of rocket carriers in China and the United States, what measures should NASA take to "protect" the US R&D results.

reported that Nelson agreed with his speech with a smile, saying that the appearance of the Rockets of the two countries is similar because China "plagiarized" American technology. "Yes, they (China) are very good at plagiarism." He also said that to solve this problem, both the US government and the private sector must take it seriously. The private sector must take steps to maintain cybersecurity, and the government should increase fiscal appropriations for NASA rather than requiring NASA to improve innovation.

It is worth mentioning that after Nelson took office last year (2021), his tough remarks on China's aerospace field have been supported by some lawmakers, including Robert Adholt.

When Nelson kept hyping up the "threat of China's aerospace competition" to ask Congress for money, Adholt echoed that "China's huge progress in the aerospace field means that the United States cannot lose focus or motivation when developing its own projects." Now they are all pointing their fingers at China, and the two of them have a sense of harmony.

Bill Nelson

American politicians are accustomed to slandering China and plagiarizing American technology is nothing new. Nelson obviously forgot who was the person who complained last month that "China's aerospace is unwilling to cooperate with the United States."

Just passed April, Nelson also criticized China for "lack of transparency and willingness to cooperate" at a press conference at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida. He has lies and has portrayed himself as the "protagonist of the sad drama", but he never mentioned , Wolf clause , and he avoided talking about the development of China's aerospace industry in the past 10 years under the lockdown of the United States. Now he can still open his eyes and tell lies and falsely accus China of "stealing" American technology.

The United States has excluded China from the International Space Station project for political, financial, technical and other reasons.In 2011, the U.S. Congress passed the Wolf clause, which prohibits the United States from conducting any joint scientific research activities related to NASA or coordinated by the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy, and even prohibits all facilities of NASA from receiving "official Chinese visitors." The reason for the so-called "there is a espionage risk" has completely blocked China's path to participating in international space station cooperation. But this did not hinder China's aerospace development pace. China's insistence on independence and autonomy is ultimately "making a bloody path" in the field of space stations.

And when I heard that Chinese astronaut first entered his space station, what did Nelson do? In June last year, he expressed his support for the permanentization of the Wolf clause, which means that China will never be allowed to participate in the International Space Station research project.

Nelson's operation can't even be watched by American media people. Jeff Foster , a senior reporter of the American vertical magazine for aerospace, previously sarcastically satirized Nelson as a hypocritical attitude: "Nelson said we want to cooperate with China, but we need two people to dance tango... But there is also the 'small thing' of the Wolf clause, which he did not mention."

According to Global Times , in response to some people in the United States who often talk about "competing space with China", some analysts have said that China is based on its national conditions and needs, technological development, and learning from foreign experience, and conducting space exploration step by step at its own pace, rather than having a "space race" with whom. The US should not exaggerate the so-called space race in order to win a budget, and it should not involve China.

At the press conference of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs on April 18, spokesman Wang Wenbin said that since the establishment and implementation of the project, China's manned space flight project has always adhered to the principles of peaceful use, equality and mutual benefit, and common development. It has signed cooperation agreements with France, Germany, Italy, Russia, Pakistan, Pakistan, and many other space agencies and organizations, implemented various forms of cooperation projects, and achieved fruitful cooperation results. China Space Station is the first time in history that such a project has been opened to all UN member states. At present, 9 projects from 17 countries and 23 entities have become the first batch of selected projects in China's space station scientific experiments.

In the past five years,

China's aerospace has created new achievements

Realizing a new leap

The mother who picked the stars is back

On April 16, 2022, after 183 days of separation from the earth, Wang Yaping and two comrades-Shenzhou 13 manned spacecraft astronaut crew Zhai Zhigang , Ye Guangfu , are back!

Return with the "star" agreement with his daughter. On this day, the three Chinese astronauts brought back new seeds of Chinese people exploring space, and another leap towards the sea of ​​stars - the mission of the key technology verification stage of the Chinese space station was successfully completed and will be transferred to the construction stage.

"Hold the comet as the blue, and hold the handle of the fight as the command." More than two thousand years ago, the poet Qu Yuan sang loudly in " Traveling in the distance " and imagined traveling around the sky.

Today, we have already realized spacewalk , and we are getting farther and farther away -

"In the past five years, Chang'e embraces the moon, Beidou guides the way, Zhurong explores the fire, Xihe chasing the sun, the sky he travels through the stars, and 'Wukong'' "wisdom'' "wisdom'' explores the mysteries of the universe. China's aerospace has forged ahead, created new achievements, and achieved a new leap." Wu Yanhua, deputy director of the National Space Administration, said.

Good news one after another

On December 17, 2020, Chang'e-5 successfully landed in Siziwang Banner, Inner Mongolia, , and China achieved its first lunar sampling return.

On May 15, 2021, Tianwen-1 successfully landed on the Utopian Plain on Mars, and China achieved a leap from Earth-Moon System to interplanetary exploration.

On October 14, 2021, the solar exploration science and technology experiment satellite " Xihe " was successfully launched, and China officially entered the era of space sun exploration.

"In the past year, the 'trio' of deep space exploration has played."Zhao Jian, director of the National Space Administration's Earth Observation and Data Center, is proud of this.

If you extend the time a little longer, China's spacecraft will make you more excited.

Our launch vehicle is stronger and stronger. A new generation of non-toxic and pollution-free rockets represented by the "Fat Five" Long March 5 have been put into use one after another, and commercial rockets have been continuously emerging to form diversified launch capabilities on land and at sea. From 2016 to 2021, my country completed 207 launch missions, and the launch success rate of the Long March series rockets was 96.7%.

Our deep space exploration is farther. Chang'e 4 landed on the back of the moon for the first time and conducted patrol exploration. Chang'e 5 brought back 1,731 grams of lunar soil, and Tianwen 1 was on The first time the Chinese imprint was left on Mars , the "Xihe" has achieved a series of technical and scientific experimental results.

Our space station construction has been accelerated comprehensively. The Tianhe core cabin, Shenzhou 12 and Shenzhou 13 manned spacecraft, Tianzhou 2 and Tianzhou 3 cargo spacecraft and other flight missions have all achieved complete success. 6 astronauts have moved in one after another, and the Chinese space station has ushered in the era of long-term residence.

Our satellite shines in the starry sky. At present, more than 500 satellites of various types in my country are working in orbit, widely serving economic and social development. communication satellite provides more than 140 million families in rural and remote areas Distance education, telemedicine, rural e-commerce and other services. remote sensing satellite images have been distributed over 100 million views, effectively ensuring the needs of meteorological forecasting, land planning, ecological protection, marine economy, disaster emergency and other needs. Beidou satellite is widely used in mass travel, smart logistics , and precision agriculture, especially providing precise positioning and navigation services for the prevention and control of the new crown pneumonia epidemic.

Looking forward to the future of China's aerospace "Sea"

2022

2022, the Chinese space station will complete the on-orbit construction mission, and a total of 6 flight missions are planned to be implemented.
