Why do people fly into space?

Curiosity and desire, especially possessiveness. Want to occupy the resources and space of the whole universe.

First, understand the evolution of the universe and its various physical phenomena and processes;

Second, understand the position and significance of human beings and life on earth in the universe;

Third, develop various space technologies and apply them in various fields;

Fourth, explore and occupy all kinds of space resources;

Fifth, make use of the extreme environment of space to carry out various scientific and technological experiments;

Sixth, show the country's advanced and powerful;

The successful launch of Shenzhou VI once again aroused the pride of China people, and two astronauts Fei and Nie Haisheng became new national heroes. However, some scholars pointed out that the public and the media should not only cheer and establish new heroes, but also understand the significance of Shenzhou VI to China's science and technology, economy, military and people's daily life.

China military experts believe that the successful launch of Shenzhou VI is of great military value. With the development of missile technology and space technology, China should take the road of national defense modernization of "spacecraft instead of aircraft carrier".

These days, China media reported more about Shenzhou VI than the Fifth Plenary Session of the 16th CPC Central Committee which closed the day before yesterday. The live broadcast of the Shenzhou VI launch by CCTV yesterday attracted about 500 million people. Due to the official's quite open attitude towards the launch of Shenzhou VI, the news war triggered by Shenzhou VI was even more intense than that of Shenzhou V launched two years ago.

However, many media reports on Shenzhou VI have turned into a "star-making movement". They use "idolization" to dig deep into the personal data of astronauts and even fry their families and hometowns. It seems that astronauts are the number one heroes who can go to heaven with Shenzhou VI, and the significance of Shenzhou VI is just to create two heroes.

Some scholars have pointed out that Shenzhou VI's going to heaven is certainly worthy of people's yelling, and Fei and Nie Haisheng are certainly worthy of praise, but these are far from all that Shenzhou VI brought to China. Besides cheering and idolizing, the media should introduce more about the scientific and technological significance, economic value and influence on the lives of ordinary people of Shenzhou VI, so that more people can understand why China is developing its space industry vigorously when it is not rich.

According to the data provided by China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation, 80% of China's new materials 1000 in recent years were developed under the traction of aerospace technology. Nearly 2,000 achievements in space technology have been transplanted to various sectors of the national economy.

Another scholar believes that the development of China's space industry will help shape China's space culture. There will undoubtedly be descendants of dragons with black hair and eyes in future space movies to save the world and compete with aliens; In pop music, there will be more sounds of nature inspired by Shenzhou. China people will also learn to reflect the multiple feelings of human beings about space exploration to the whole world in an oriental way.

A spaceship, not an aircraft carrier.

Teng Jianqun, an expert from China Arms Control and Disarmament Association, published an article in People's Daily yesterday, expounding shenzhou spaceship's military value, arguing that China should abandon the idea of building an aircraft carrier and vigorously develop space technology instead.

He pointed out that with the progress of missile technology and space technology, the dominant position of aircraft carriers is gradually being weakened. "Should our 2 1 century troops be equipped with the main equipment carriers of World War II to meet the challenges of 2 1 century? The answer isno. "

Teng Jianqun said in this article entitled "Want a spaceship, not an aircraft carrier" that at present, developed countries are putting the commanding heights of competition on information and space technology. Battlefield space is infiltrating into outer space and computer space. China must participate in the competition of information and space technology and make achievements in these two fields.

A scholar from China National Defense University pointed out that the frontier position of international military science and technology development in 2 1 century is in space. Compared with the traditional land, sea and air, space will be the real military "commanding height". China must strive for the initiative in the increasingly fierce space technology, otherwise it will be unable to meet the future military challenges.

"Shenzhou VI" went to heaven, and the whole country rejoiced. China is gradually entering the ranks of space exploration powers, and the development of space technology is of course crucial to the national strategy. However, since mankind began to explore space, technological progress has pushed human vision and hope into the vast space. As earthlings, * * * participated in the same capacity and jumped out of the narrow competition between countries, because we all know that in the face of boundless space, human beings and countries can only be a "global village".
