China Xiaokang Net News September 6th, China Manned Aerospace Engineering Deputy Chief Designer Yang Liwei introduced at the event: China Manned Spaceflight has a set of environmental control and biological security systems to ensure human presence Living and conducting scientific experiments in space used to be portable. Now the space station is regenerative. In the future, there may be a "space farm" where crops and plants are planted to form an ecological system. Aroused heated discussion among netizens.

Looking back at the history of human development, it has gone through a journey of nearly half a century, and the birth of "movie" as an audio-visual technology has been more than a century. Looking back at the Silver Sea for a hundred years, the journey of mankind's pioneering journey in the world of science fiction has also been ups and downs.
Below, we will select a few epoch-making science fiction films about the moon landing, which reflect the progress of human understanding of the moon, and are also deeply imprinted by the level of science and technology at that time. Compare with the moon landing of and Chang'e-4 . The feat can be said to complement each other.
Electric Age : A cannonball on the moon
In 1902, Lu Xun, who was in his early 20s and was still studying in Japan, translated a science fiction novel. In the same year, on the European continent, French director Georges Mélière , who was 20 years older than Lu Xun, made this novel into a movie. This "Book of the Year" is " from the earth to the moon " by the science fiction master Jules Verne .
This novel, written in 1865, describes the scene of human landing on the moon with wild imagination and rigorous scientific conception. It uses mechanical power to launch humans to the moon with cannons. Because when Verne wrote this novel, it coincided with the opening of the electric age, reflecting the most advanced scientific and technological achievements of the time.
30 years after the publication of "From the Earth to the Moon", the film was born in 1895. On its 7th birthday, the film ushered in the first sci-fi genre. This is the adaptation of the film "Moon Journey" by George Mérie at the beginning of the article. It is quite coincidental that human beings chose the subject of moon landing in a science fiction movie.
"Travel to the Moon" was released in black and white and hand-painted color plates. From the film stills, we can see that the moon in human imagination at the beginning of the 20th century was full of romanticism. And it is also the first film in history to use special effects. Its magnificent scenes reflect the brilliance of the era of electrical civilization.
Atomic Age: 2001 Space Odyssey
In 1969, the American "Apollo Project" sent mankind to the moon for the first time. Armstrong left behind the famous saying "One small step on the moon, one big step for mankind". The scene of the moon landing was broadcast live on TV, but many skeptics still believe it was faked in Hollywood studios.
The reason is that just the previous year, the film master Stanley Kubrick just finished a sci-fi movie about the moon landing-"2001 A Space Odyssey". The film used the most advanced special effects at the time, and cooperated with NASA to achieve the mutual promotion of film technology and space exploration.
As one of the greatest sci-fi movies in history, although "2001 A Space Odyssey" is adapted from the novel of the same name by the science fiction master Arthur Clark, and inevitably bears the distinctive imprint of the atomic age, the concept of the film is very advanced , Such as video calls, mobile phones, artificial intelligence, etc., are fully reflected in the film.
It is commendable that "2001 A Space Odyssey" raised the exploration of the universe to the height of philosophy. In the music background of "Zaratustra Says This", Kubrick brings primitive human civilization, contemporary scientific and technological civilization and future humanity home, expressing the atom with magnificent grandeur and microscopic speculation. The "question from heaven" of mankind in the age.
Gene Era: Clones into space
In 2009, an independent and low-cost science fiction filmIt set off the thinking about human ethics in the society at that time. Director Duncan Jones is the son of rock famous David Bowie , the name of the film is called "Moon". The background of this moon landing movie is on energy mining on the back of the moon, while the perspective focuses on the issue of human cloning.
corresponds to the reality that the preliminary analysis results of the human gene map in 2001 were announced, announcing the arrival of a "gene age". However, the development of science and technology is like a double-edged sword, unexpectedly opening the "Pandora's Box". While genetic technology is becoming more and more mature, it is also repeatedly testing the boundaries of human ethics .
The film "The Moon" is just to explore a problem: if human technology develops to a certain level, when conducting the highly dangerous task of lunar exploration, humans do not need to go to the battle themselves, but will be replaced by clones. What happened?
Although this question has yet to be explained by sociologists and ethicists, the film gives a warm answer-clones have the same real emotions as ours. You know, this is one of the important references to human self-reality. (Zihua)
