This star is going to the moon

Chapter 288 Humans have limits, but Lu Yun is still outputting.

The reason why many people think of Lu Yun after Luo Zhixiang is called a "time management master" is because he is indeed a "time management master".

Compared to Show Lo, who previously practiced "time management" in the shadows, Lu Yun's "time management" has always been in the open.

Achievements in both aerospace and film/television!
Those who follow Lu Yun know that he is working on many projects at the same time.

They just didn't expect that Lu Yun would have a new project, and that he would go all the way to Mars!
Because of the limited space and the large number of reporters present, the situation quickly stabilized, and the host then introduced the global naming campaign for the "Tianwen-1" Mars rover.

Meanwhile, viewers of the live stream were flooding the chat with comments.

[I knew Lu Yun was definitely busy with other projects, but they were keeping it confidential before!]

Indeed, Lu Yun is the true MVP; he is the true master of time management!

[Some people previously questioned Lu Yun's aerospace technology capabilities, but they've now been proven wrong.]

[Lu Yun was involved in the nation's first Mars mission, a super mission that simultaneously completed three major projects, demonstrating the nation's high regard for him.]

Therefore, those people's doubts are ridiculous. You have to understand that Lu Yun was already the chief designer of the manned lunar landing rocket. Is that something that can be achieved by someone with only average skills?

[Lu Yun is truly impressive. He reminds me of the grand spectacle of the "Golden Toad" lunar rover. I wonder how long this little Mars rover will last?]

Do you think Lu Yun might have other projects underway secretly?

I don't know, probably not anymore, after all, there are limits to human capabilities...

The press conference for "Tianwen-1" was not long. After the conference, the people in charge of the live broadcast started to browse the exhibition. A space-themed content creator on a small video platform said while browsing: "The Mars rover is currently soliciting names. What do you think would be a good name?"

"Everyone should participate enthusiastically. After winning the prize, you will not only receive a gold-plated model of the Tianwen-1 probe, but you will also be invited to watch the launch of Tianwen-1 on site."

Upon hearing this, the live chat erupted with comments.

That must be me! The bigger one is called "Spark," the exact opposite of "Mars," and the smaller one is called "Mars Sprout"—perfect!

After seeing this comment, the content creator complained: "What a terrible name. Many of our country's spacecraft names are mythological names. Think of some kind of magical treasure, mount, or mythical beast that can be used for transportation."

Mars is red, and a car is a means of transportation, so how about naming it "Red Hare" and "Little Rabbit"?

"Haha, naming the Mars rover 'Red Rabbit' is not bad, it can also echo 'Jade Rabbit' on the moon, but what the heck is 'rabbit'? That's as ridiculous as naming an aircraft carrier 'mantis shrimp', the authorities will definitely not approve it."

Let's name it "Zhurong," how powerful!

"Goodness, a Mars rover can bear such a name? It would be more appropriate to call a future controlled nuclear fusion facility 'Zhurong'."

Haha, I think "Nezha" and "Wind Fire Wheels" are good names, they match perfectly...

"Hmm, these two names are indeed quite nice."

While chatting with viewers, the content creator toured the exhibition: "Look over there, that's the Deep Blue Arrow booth. That's a model of their reusable rocket, 'Red Sparrow II,' which has a carrying capacity of 4 tons in recovery mode."

"Satellites are getting smaller and smaller these days, and their carrying capacity is quite marketable..."

As they were talking, the content creator was drawn to an even larger private company booth.

Without a doubt, it's Blue Star Aerospace.

However, a large model inside surprised him, as it looked like a compartment of a space station.

"Guys, we've found something good!"

The content creator quickly arrived at the Blue Star Space station's location and immediately discovered that it was indeed a large model of a space station module, with a complete small model of the first phase of the Tiangong space station next to it. The small model of this module was docked on top of it.

"A space dock?" The content creator glanced at the display board and exclaimed in surprise, "I thought Blue Star Aerospace or the national team would build a relatively simple adapter to make the 1.2-meter square hatch of 'Wooden Kite' fit into the 0.8-meter circular hatch of the space station. I didn't expect Blue Star Aerospace to build a large space station module themselves!"

"This large module is considered an extension module of the space station, and it is indeed a 'space dock'. It not only has a larger docking port and a larger hatch, but also four original-size docking ports of the space station. There is also a cargo storage area on the 'dock'."

"It even has a manufacturing and repair area where you can assemble and repair small satellites directly!"

"Hey, it's all built and currently undergoing testing. It's scheduled to launch after the 'Wooden Kite's' maiden flight twice."

"Holy crap, what's even more incredible is that it was also developed under Lu Yun's leadership. Just how good is Lu Yun's time management? Does he live a 24-hour day as if it were 48 hours?"

The viewers in the live chat were also surprised. They had just been discussing this issue, wondering if Rowoon had any other unannounced projects.

Their conclusion was that it was probably over, since there are limits to human capabilities.

But then one came right away.

[Awesome, Rowun is still putting up great plays!]

The title "Time Management Master" no longer does Lu Yun deserve; I think "Time Controller" is more appropriate!

[Damn, how many projects does he have? Is his energy limitless?]

My goddess An Fangfei is so lucky!

I'd heard before that Blue Star Aerospace was working on a secret project, but I never imagined it was this.

Wait a minute, the main structure of this space dock looks a lot like the DreamSky experimental module. Could it be a modified version of DreamSky's test module?

[Hey, that's actually quite possible. So, the Eighth Hospital might be taking the lion's share?]

[Thank goodness, I thought Lu Yun was a real animal. It's good that he's still human...]

Information about "Space Day" has gradually spread around the world. This important day is being watched not only by people in China, but also by people from other countries.

Seeing Bluestar Aerospace's "mini Mars rover" and "space dock" reveals that its business scope is expanding rapidly.

Currently, in the commercial space sector, SpaceX only has rockets, manned spacecraft, and internet satellites.

Bluestar Aerospace also has rockets, and its manned spaceflight equipment is more advanced than SpaceX's. However, its internet satellites are only developed in cooperation with other companies, not exclusively.

These things are barely comparable. If the previous mini lunar rover "Golden Toad" was just a hobby, then the appearance of the mini Mars rover means that Blue Star Aerospace has officially expanded its business into extraterrestrial exploration equipment.

The "space terminal" is self-explanatory; it refers to space station module services.

As soon as these two items were unveiled, Blue Star Aerospace immediately walked up to the Space Fork.

"This is a bit of a problem, Boss."

In the SpaceFork office, an assistant reported to Elon Musk: "Although our company is not publicly listed, its title as the 'world's first private space company' has a very strong motivating effect, and your 'Mars colonization dream' is also very popular, which has driven up Tesla's stock price."

"However, with the rise of Bluestar Aerospace, our company's ability to drive up Tesla's stock price has slowed down. After the news that 'Muyuan' was about to make its maiden flight was confirmed, our company's ability to drive up the price was very small. Now that we have received accurate information that Bluestar Aerospace has expanded into more businesses, our company's ability to drive up the price has completely disappeared."

"If this continues, the title of 'world's number one space company' will be..."

While listening, Ma Yilong kept looking at his phone. After receiving a message, he waved his hand and said, "Alright, no need to say more. We are still the 'world's number one private space company'."

"Because the results of NASA's 'Return to the Moon' commercial lunar lander bidding are out, we're going to build a manned lunar spacecraft!"
