Four days had passed since the last tragedy. Because the incidents involving the five astronaut candidates were so bizarre and complicated-four were eliminated, in which three of them were killed, the investigation team was stretched a little too thin. NASA had meant to keep the happenings under covers until they could come up with an answer to deal with them. But the very next day, it was already all over the media. And the more the news spread, the more nefarious the stories became. A group of people even named the series of accidents as 'the moon landing curse', claiming what NASA was doing triggered the anger of God, ultimately leading to all these disasters.
During the past few days, massive crowds had marched in protest outside the Kennedy Space Center and Congress.
