Capítulo 8: Humans suffering setbacks in their deep space exploration

Investment from numerous groups from the planet has been a major reason for the rapid development in space exploration, and even Musk did not have to do much at this point anymore. Each of those groups seemed to have something to lose if space exploration was abandoned and they would do everything to promote it. In the end, the discovery of something not deemed normal was already making almost all parties relieved and even legitimizing their ability to collect more resources.

Failure in this way would turn into a huge profit in their turn, such they could convince more investors that something beyond their knowledge existed in the starry skies. Business-minded people were already becoming creative. To them, the ability to go beyond space was already something impressive, and if the technology could be adapted faster to the point of it allowing human transport, making money from it would be very easy.

Them sending the military to the moon was probably for the same reason and this is the reason Musk was not shocked, as the military, has always been a cult-like organization regardless of the era. Even in his previous life, some rumors used to spread that the military used their recruits to test medical technology on them. This was something he argued against too as he thought that they lived in some civilized world without the movie's fictional aspects, but after surviving in more than a hundred eras he came to a realization that in the past he was very naive.

Why would the military that controls more than half of research institutions in any developed country care about the rights of anyone? Especially those that it pays for one purpose and it alone, obey orders. In this way, he has seen from all the eras and this gathering on the moon he can already see where it is going after all the military is the fastest place to collect a group of people that can die without questions asked. On the moon, especially where the laws of the planet do not apply whatever happens no one can be charged. The moon has yet to be colonized and laws implemented on it have to be followed.

In this way, it can be seen as some leeway to operate without actually caring about anything else at all. When the tests begin the scientists on the other hand too would not be sad to gain some human subjects that were willing to sacrifice for their discoveries. If there is one group of people scarier than religious types it is the scientists. At least the religious type would have to spread some propaganda to start wars or even cause massacres, but scientists, do not need a reason, and thus everyone can be their target.

In any society where science has developed to a high level, it was accomplished under the bones of many, to achieve numerous breakthroughs. To understand the human body for instance to an in-depth level, a large number of people have to make some sacrifices, and in one instance he witnessed this thus even keeping it away from human society for some time. The research was not forgotten at all. Since he decided to not meddle in the affairs of others, he did just that but he was still someone that has come all the way from being a human.

He thus took most of the research without any scruples and when different eras passed this kind of thing become common nature. In the same way, others might say that with power comes responsibility but Musk already understood some truth when he was more involved in the illusion of wanting to save mankind. This was also at the time he had just some limit of a thousand years lifespan and he had just lived less than half of it.

In this era, his naivety taught him a lesson about the hard way, especially about the helpless in society. They were the most dangerous group of people and this was why even though he taught Liu Zhen he let her spend her time alone and develop for the purpose of pushing his agendas. The interactions with him and people also become less and less with the passage of time due to understanding the nature of humans. From being someone that lofty ambitions to indifferent, in the same way, he understood that even associations should be made with those on the same level or even higher.

Those below one's level would never stop trying to pull you to their level, or just sit and wait for you to drop way below them. In this situation, it seems he had learned a lot and thankfully he was not an original creature of this world. He also had hoped to leave and travel into space and the only thing was having humans help him explore the danger from the starry skies first. He could already sense that it was just a matter of time before he accumulated more data.

This is also not some kind of thing he thought he was going to stop as the number of people he has dealt with and even killed seemed to have reached a stage he stopped counting. He was not a good person just because at the moment his face was calm and peaceful. When it comes to dealing with those in his way, he did not give them second chances to make another choice.

When someone survives an asteroid that leads to the extinction of the planet, even his outlook on life changes. Just standing there he did have this sense of oppression he brought to others was unique. It did not come from his realm at all, but rather the killing intent and spiritual pressure.

Even though the two are of no use when attacked with technology, they have been an integral part of his life, and through refining his temperament over the years the killing intent might have been hidden but it is still there. In the same, the pressure from the spirit has evolved with the passage of time and the things he had experienced have shaped him.

In this way, some things that are done by humans, are normal due to having experience. His indifference was because he saw the old and new ways of behaving as the same. In this way, humans seemed to come up with some fancy names to justify some things and those that are considered victims if given a chance would also want to put others over the same treatment for their lives to feel complete and comfortable.

Humans will always exploit each other in one way or another, and the most important question he came up with was, about what time and by what grounds one stands. He was not the ancestor of humans to push on how they should behave, in the same way, what to say. The most advanced civilizations are scarier because people would not even realize they are being enslaved and even assist their oppressors in dealing with those that try to bring such issues to light. With such a thought process of questioning how he gained qualifications to make decisions on behalf of others.

Such thoughts did not seem to him as important and he would not be willing to be involved in them, but he was very much willing to share in the knowledge obtained in the process.

During this period Musk could perceive Liu Zhen coming to practice more in the month rather than in the past but he just overlooked it as he was not in a rush anyway. With the changes that happened in human society, Musk had already learned to be indifferent and at the same time, he was not arrogant enough to not learn from them when they come up with new knowledge.

Sensing that Liu Zhen was in a bad mood for close to a month, Musk already guessed that the situation in the space station was no longer good. On the other hand, this kind of news had already gone on back to the planet allowing some group of people to use it for propaganda.

"Well, if space exploration was easy, a lot of people would have already accomplished it in the previous eras. This development is a good thing, competition as it also going to speed up my plans in the end. Anyway, it's not like I have the ability to stop them." As he murmured he wiped the brown stain on his forehead.

He had indeed been busy and in this period the shuttle had been reassembled back and it seemed more like something new. Standing at the center of the residence. It was very attractive to look at, and those that set their sights on it might end up trying to share a picture.

"Damn!"

...

In the control room, some scientists were frustrated but they did not seem to care about the failure to reach their destination rather their attention had always been on the changes made on the shuttle. Even the discussions were on it.
