Chapitre 590: Chief Consultant of the Moon Project

There was a huge demand for energy in China, but there wasn't a demand for aerospace.

Even if the success of the controllable fusion project could save the country more than 2 trillion yuan per year, this money wouldn't be placed into aerospace projects.

Where the money would be spent and what kind of effects it would bring, these all had to go through a rigorous decision-making process.

Especially with rocket recycling technology, space launching costs were not what they used to be.

Taking the launch of a low-Earth orbit satellite as an example, Space-X's Falcon rocket was able to achieve a price of US$1,141 per kilogram. Compared this to NASA's design of the Delta 4 rocket in the 1990s, which had a cost of US$11,660 per kilogram. The cost had been cut by nearly ten times.
