Chapter 767: Equally Matched

The second weekend in April.

The morning silence in North America was disrupted by a newspaper headline.

A striking newspaper headline on the Washington Post shocked everyone.

[Major breakthrough in the Ares program! Life support system has landed successfully! A new era of space exploration is coming!]

The Washington Post was the largest and most authoritative newspaper in America, ahead of The New York Times. They played an important role in the Watergate scandal. They were also far more reliable than other media outlets.

White-collar workers were usually uninterested in newspapers, but after they saw this eye-catching headline, they couldn't help but fork out a dollar and stuff the newspaper into their briefcases.

The freshly-printed newspapers were all sold out!

The Washington Post had to urge their printing factory to print millions of newspapers and quickly send them to major newsstands and sales outlets.
