The previous wave of moon landings in humans was more than fifty years ago. At that time, it was the time when Merecan and the Russians competed for hegemony. Since they discovered that the moon landing was not very beneficial, humans have stopped landing in the moon.

Or rather, Meriken no longer needs to use the moon landing to increase his influence and show off his strength.

After all, the initial manned moon landing is indeed of little significance to most humans.

Even for the senior management of Meriken, it is enough to win the first time, and the next few times obviously fall into the category of "loss".

The main reason was that the opponent was not good at that time. In the early stage of the space race, Meriken was hit. As a result, the Russians were stuck when they landed on the moon by manned landing. Later, Meriken soared into the sky, and the Russians did not land on the moon by manned landing on the moon until they died.

If the opponent fails to land on the moon, it is equivalent to giving up. Then Meriken will be a fool if he spends money on the landing project. Therefore, both sides have opened a new battlefield and fought again in the space station field.

The moon landing is naturally left behind.

However, with the development of technology and the progress of the times, the importance of the moon has become increasingly prominent.

Not to mention the increasingly successful nuclear fusion project, there is a large amount of pollution-free nuclear fusion fuel on the moon, which is enough for humans to use until they die.

For this, it is time for the moon to occupy the territory.

Not to mention that there are aliens here.

The aliens are currently staying on Mars honestly, but who can tell whether they have summoned fleets?

If the interstellar war is really about to start, the moon, a satellite that revolves around the earth, is a strategic location.

If military facilities can be built on the moon, it will definitely become a bridgehead for humans to resist aliens.

Even internally, it is an absolutely magnificent military fortress.

Controlling it is equivalent to controlling the air supremacy of modern warfare.

At the beginning, the manned moon landing plans of the two countries included this purpose. However, it was not easy to improve by the technology at that time, let alone to build it on it. Moreover, the moon was close to the cosmic scale, but from a human perspective, it was still too far away.

For several days, for humans who have been talking about "fast strikes", the strategy of fighting the world for a few hours is too long. The military operations at the lunar base are too long.

But I haven't cared about the moon for decades, and I don't want to spend 10 billion to do something like 100 million. Then the rough rockets and the same rough moon landing equipment would definitely not be used, but it would take time to redesign and manufacture cheaper rockets and moon landing equipment.

Fortunately, the private aerospace forces came on stage at this time, which was much better than before, so the national team paid for the money and then various private aerospace companies grabbed orders.

Gradually, the current situation emerged.

At present, there are several new moon landing equipment in the world, but the equipment of the Russians, Europa and Peacock Kingdom is still in the design stage. The most common ones are PPT. What has been remanufactured are the three from Merecan and one from Tianxia.

Tianxia is naturally the pilot's "Moon Run" moon landing spacecraft.

Among these four spacecraft, netizens are most optimistic about the Pilot and Space Fork.

Because most netizens are the group that looks at faces the most and loves the new and the old.

The other two Moon landing equipment in Meriken seem to have a high success rate because their nature is not much different from the equipment used to land on the moon for decades. Although the technology has definitely been upgraded, in terms of appearance, it is still extremely pragmatic.

Typical "illegal building" style.

Many people felt sorry for the initial Meriken manned moon spacecraft, because they looked unsightly and many devices were exposed, and the landing legs, reinforcement poles, and antennas were also stretched freely.

The most important thing is that the manned cabin needs to be housed, equipment needs to be placed, and fuel tanks must be wrapped. It really has a prominent part here and a concave part there. In order to reduce the weight and reduce the difficulty of manufacturing, it no longer has any arc shapes and directly hits the plate upwards.

In this regard, the Russian moon landing spacecraft that may not have successfully landed the moon is more beautiful. Its power injection module is a bit simpler and the fuel tank is exposed, but the manned cabin is beautiful.

Compared with the messy polyhedral manned cabin of Meriken, at least the manned cabin is designed, and the overall look is spherical.

Of course, the Russian moon landing spacecraft is relatively small, weighing only 5 tons, and only carrying one astronaut. It is a little "relatively" simpler to design.

Meiruken's lunar spacecraft weighs 16 tons and needs to carry two astronauts, so there will naturally be more requirements. In order to enable it to complete the mission, there will naturally be no time to take care of other aspects. It must first make it fly, fall, and carry people.

Now the other two moon landing ships in Meriken are similar to those of the spacecraft at that time, and they are only more advanced in technology, but their appearance is very traditional.

Most netizens are handsome dogs, so the so-called "three views follow their facial features". Some netizens look at people and technology equipment.

Of course, people and machinery are incomparable. Good people may not necessarily be good people, but the appearance of machinery is high, which really means high technological content and stronger "combat power".

In this regard, the space fork's starship moon landing spacecraft won. It maintains its usual "bullet" shape, smooth and simple, and is snow-white all over, and looks very beautiful.

And it can be reused, take off from the earth with a booster, and then launch two more fuels to replenish the "Starship" to refuel it, and it can fly to the moon.

After landing on the moon, unload people and cargo, refilling fuel can take off and return to Earth.

The idea is good, but... there is too much preparation required for the early stage.

So in the eyes of industry insiders, there are still two other "retro" solutions that have a high success rate, just talking about returning to the moon.

However, the progress of the three plans is similar. Although the starship and rockets won in low-Earth orbit, the three companies have not yet been decided on the win or loss on the moon.

The date of return to the moon is approaching with the affirmation of the date of Meri's return to the moon, and I don't know which one will be chosen in the end.

On the Pilot, the "Moon Run" lunar spacecraft has checked the last few items and can be transported to the launch center after the inspection.

The "Moon Run" lunar spacecraft is 12 meters high, which is 4 meters taller than the Moon Palace II, which is already on the moon and does not spread out its solar panels, but it weighs 10 tons less and is only 40 tons.

Because the diameter of Moon Palace 2 reaches 6.5 meters, while the diameter of the "Moon Bing" moon spacecraft is 5.5 meters.

Because it was necessary to carry people, its "belly" was relatively empty, and at least eight lunar rovers were not stuffed into it.

Its shape is also similar to the bullet type, but compared with the completely smooth starship moon landing spacecraft, it also has a lot of external equipment on its shell, so it is a design between the "old moon landing spacecraft" and the "sci-fi moon landing spacecraft".

This makes it look good and powerful, and can be easily manufactured by the Navigator Company.

It has been less than a year since the beginning.

Compared with the "power pole", it is quite high when erected and the manned cabin is still on the top. The starship moon spacecraft that depends on the elevator to get out of the cabin to land is much shorter. In addition, the fuel silo and thruster are hung around, so its hatch door can be placed at the bottom, and the landing can be completed by walking three or four steps on the stairs.

And it can be reused.
