This star is going to the moon

Chapter 348: The explosive US presidential debate; Lu Yun joins the cast of "The Wandering Earth 2".

Academician Sun's spaceflight had a huge impact, attracting similar levels of attention as Lu Yun's personal spaceflight.

After all, he was the first 91-year-old to go into space; it was nothing short of a miracle!
The record for the oldest person to travel to space has been broken, increasing from 77 to 91 years old!

I don't think age is a problem; the key is physical condition, since everyone's constitution is different.

Indeed, a person's temporal age, psychological age, and biological age can differ, sometimes significantly.

[That's me. My physical age is 35, but my mental age is about 25, while my biological age is approaching 45. It's absolutely incredible!]

Wow, buddy, that's quite a difference. You need to adjust your diet, exercise, and improve your lifestyle.

I've noticed that some centenarians are in good mental and physical condition. Could it be that they also have a chance to go to space?

[Probably so. A 91-year-old can go, and if a 100-year-old is truly in good health, they can go too, as long as there's an opportunity.]

Look at Academician Sun's expression, he's smiling so happily. I guess his body feels even more relaxed now that it's free from the constraints of gravity.

That's absolutely true. The elderly person's muscles and bones have atrophied significantly, making it extremely difficult for them to support their body. Being free from gravity would definitely make them feel much lighter.

Unfortunately, one cannot stay in space for long, because the radiation and weightlessness will accelerate the atrophy of muscles and bones, which would be even worse.

There's no way around it; humans have adapted to Earth's environment over millions of years of evolution. If we want to send large numbers of people into space, the human body needs to evolve further.

Isn't Elon Musk's mega-plan to "make humans an interplanetary species" incredibly dangerous?

I think we should look forward to Lu Yun rather than Ma Yilong. After all, Lu Yun is younger and has a more limitless future. Perhaps he is the one who can lead humanity to the stars!

I agree!

【I object! 】

Although some people know the difference between time age and biological age, the enormous number of 91 years old is still the best promotional phrase.

A few hours later, when the Muyuan spacecraft carrying Academician Sun landed smoothly on the runway of the space airport, the live broadcast from the jet bridge monitoring showed Academician Sun steadily climbing the stairs from the cabin.

Then, following "tradition," he walked behind the large window of the covered bridge and waved to the audience outside the venue. When the audience cheered for him again, the new world record of "oldest person to enter space" was set for him.

"This old man is amazing! He went to space at the age of 91!"

"Awesome! Absolutely awesome!"

"A new record has been set, and the age has been raised to 91 years old. Let's see how the Americans catch up, hahaha!"

"It's the middle of the night there now. They'll know when it's light out."

"The Americans will have their first televised debate after dawn, that's their big news, they probably won't have time to watch our manned spaceflight news."

"That's true. Americans now have a 'I am the only one' mentality and are not interested in learning about other places, unlike us who want to know about the whole world."

"If you ask me, what's the point of their debate? The two people debating are almost 75 years old, and the old man is 78. Whoever takes the 'Creative Dragon' spacecraft to space wins."

"That probably won't work. After all, the overload of a manned spacecraft is much greater than that of the space shuttle. Back then, that 77-year-old American astronaut went to space on the space shuttle, but the United States doesn't have a manned space shuttle now."

"Haha, who cares? The US presidential debates on TV are definitely entertaining..." Indeed, they are entertaining.

The US presidential debate will take place at 9 p.m. local time on the 29th, which is 9 a.m. on the 30th for the Chinese.

So while it was daytime in the US, some media outlets still published news about a 91-year-old Chinese man breaking a federal record by entering space.

This angered some American rednecks, who left messages insisting that Trump address space issues during the debate.

The Golden Retriever's team also noticed this problem, so they had an emergency discussion before the debate began.

After discussion, they decided to add this topic, since the golden retriever would only look at the teleprompter when giving a speech, and preferred to speak freely during debates.

Therefore, there is only one outline for this debate, and it wouldn't matter if a clause were added at the last minute.

At 9 p.m. local time in the United States, the debate between Trump and Deng officially began.

The two sides debated issues including Supreme Court justice nominations, healthcare and the economy, race and violence, climate change and energy, electoral fairness, and space exploration.

The golden retriever, who is four years younger, is clearly more energetic and aggressive. During the debate, he frequently interrupted Old Man and the moderator, causing chaos and limiting policy discussions.

That mouth kept chattering away, spouting off without regard for the accuracy of the data, causing Old Deng to crash several times while he was interrupted from speaking and thinking about the data.

On the Chinese side, many netizens were just watching the spectacle, and many were witnessing for the first time how explosive the debate to decide the presidency could be.

What's the point of this debate? Is it scientific?
Do American voters really vote based on this kind of messy debate?

As October 1st arrived, various political content creators on social media provided their interpretations of the debate, which many netizens watched while eating, browsing Weibo, and watching on Bilibili.

While browsing Weibo, they also came across news about the Tianwen-1 Mars probe, which posted a selfie to celebrate the motherland's birthday.

At this point, it had flown approximately 1.88 million kilometers and was about 2410 million kilometers from Earth, and its flight was in good condition.

The flight images were captured by the separation measurement sensor carried by the probe.

The sensor is installed on the outer wall of the detector and is separated from the detector body under ground control. It uses two wide-angle lenses installed on its two sides to take one image per second and transmits the images to the detector via WiFi communication, and then the detector forwards them back to the ground.

Meanwhile, another film with a similar structure to "My People, My Country," titled "My Hometown," was also released today.

Lu Yun had seen this movie in his previous life, and it received a pretty good rating.

Moreover, the box office was quite substantial, apparently around 28 billion.

So he won't watch it in this life, because there are less than half a month left before the start of filming for the movie "The Wandering Earth 2", and he has begun to prepare to join the crew.

In the first film, he played Liu Peiqiang's son, so it's reasonable for him to play his father in this prequel.

At most, the makeup artist would just adjust the makeup to resemble Wu Jing's face shape.

An Fangfei, who plays Lu Yun's wife in the movie, had much more to prepare for.

Because the astronaut "Han Duoduo" in the movie is a heroic short-haired female soldier, An Fangfei needs to cut her hair.
