Chapter 922 Audible Spaceflight
In terms of being a human being, once Allen Wilson recognized a person, no matter what the person’s popularity was, he would do his best to help, provided that he didn’t do that to himself, which the Dragon Rider sisters had messed with him once.
But after comprehensive consideration, especially considering the Heilmann family that he was raised in, he still wasn’t ready to get on the wrong side of women, but in his heart he had already decided there would be no next time.
The original history of the establishment of NASA, although it is the Eisenhower term, but it is as the opposition party of the Democratic Party to facilitate, and Kennedy in the space race, can be said to be greatly plus points.
Performance on the space race was one of the major plus factors in Kennedy’s rocket-like journey from Congressman to Senator, and finally a successful run for the presidency on the Dragon Pride route.
And Allen Wilson didn’t want to give that credit to Kennedy, long before he thought Kennedy wasn’t just a threat to the United States, but to the Soviet Union as well, and to China, and likewise to Britain.
Kennedy, who had too much going for him in life, liked to do things that were less than acceptable.
He helped McCarthy this time, dare not say that he can successfully snipe Kennedy’s path to the presidency, because whether it is Nixon or McCarthy, it is true that it is not as easy as this big handsome man to pull votes, but even if it is so, it can not let Kennedy too easy to ascend to the throne of the president.
Plus, what if it worked, maybe Americans would be good for it and find McCarthy’s image glorious and great?
Turing is also recognized by Alan Wilson, after this satellite launch failure, he still shows that there are gains, so that British researchers, including Turing, do not stress.
“The country has invested so much money and personnel, surely it’s not going to be a very easy thing to do, is it?” Alan Wilson, who was walking around the launch site, said to Turing, who was side by side, “If it was so easy to make history, there wouldn’t be such a big commotion around the world.”
“You’re right.” Knowing that his friend meant well, Turing spoke up, “The rocket didn’t deliver the satellite to its intended location, but at least it proved that our rocket is reliable.”
“That’s what I mean too.” Seeing Turing, who had gotten rid of his disheveled state, Alan Wilson had a look of relief on his face.
Only he himself in this world knew that every experiment Britain conducted now was making history.
It was already so much better than the original historical Britain that it was comforting enough.
In the evening, the heads of departments at the Woomera launch site, finalized the launch plan for half a month from now, the contingency style launch was not a good idea, but now there was no choice, not only was the United States constantly carrying out launch missions, but the United Kingdom was doing the same.
From the Soviet Union’s satellite in the sky to now just two months, Britain and the United States have alternately test-fired intercontinental missiles and launched satellites. And suffered a series of failures, compared to the United States, Britain at least did not fail so many times.
The United States of America’s Cosmos intercontinental missiles, after a successful two successive failures, blue light missiles have been initially reliable, but in the launch of satellites, the United Kingdom and the United States are in the continual failure to grope.
Now is not good to judge the second artificial satellite is who succeeded in launching, anyone is possible. Alan Wilson heart of course is the hope that the identity of the father, for the Americans to teach a lesson. But he was afraid that his rebellious son would not speak of martial virtue, so his heart was torn ……
Soon, Allen Wilson returned to Perth and waited for the next launch before going to the launch site.
“Do any of the other colonies have commissioners running around like you?” Pamela Mountbatten’s postpartum recovery was at an end, and after seeing her husband return after being in a good mood, she couldn’t help but start flirting.
“The other colonial commissioners, mainly do not manage overseas assets.” Alan Wilson also did not deny that he now almost half a year do not stay in Kuala Lumpur, “Malaya colony has a mature system to rely on, but also solved my big trouble.”
“Speaking of which, three regional commissioners in the Malayan Colony are leaving their posts. Over at the Sarawak Development Bank, they are going to hire them as directors.” Hearing her husband’s words, Pamela Mountbatten instantly remembered the matter, and then took out the files of the three men, indicating that she wanted to start the revolving door.
“Just make the call.” Alan Wilson just scanned the names of the people and nodded, “I’m not going to ask about your estate.”
“It’s the Wilson family’s estate.” Pamela Mountbatten said with a tone of keeping a woman’s way, “You like to be an official, otherwise, it must be more famous than I am now most of the time.”
“Having a good wife is more important than anything else.” Alan Wilson came over to give his wife a triumphant kiss, one hand on Pamela Mountbatten’s belly, smiling and whispering, “Nice recovery, dear.”
The necessary encouragement helped the couple’s sensual rapport, even if the two were already considered an old married couple.
In this year in Britain in addition to the people who can and Allen Wilson can rival running around, should be among the Admiralty.
This year, the British Admiralty successfully signed a contract for the sale of three aircraft carriers, three aircraft carriers are Giant-class, were sold to Brazil, Argentina and India. With the addition of the two Grudge-class carriers sold to France and the Glory-class carriers sold to Australia, Britain’s carrier inventory is, at last, not bloated.
The accumulation of battleships during the World War period had been dumped over such a long period of time that it had accomplished a certain amount of slimming down.
This is of course a good thing for the UK, as maintenance costs alone are a huge expense, and sequestration doesn’t reduce them much, and they take up space. Therefore, the sealed aircraft carriers will not escape the fate of dismantling in the end.
In fact, the British style, the sale of heavy warships does not have any obstacles, can be exchanged for money to balance the financial good.
The state of the Admiralty is also a microcosm of the whole of the United Kingdom, the downward trend and the original history, compared to a much better.
Of course no surprise that this matter in this world only Alan Wilson himself knows, there are times when he feels that he is a nameless worker, your achievements no one knows, your name with the world, this Soviet words more suitable to describe him personally.
“After all, it was one man who carried it all.” Faced with the rolling torrent of history, Alan Wilson could only fine-tune as much as he could, hoping that the consequences of a thousand-mile dike being destroyed by an anthill would appear.
“Is my leg so heavy?” Princess Margaret, who was in the midst of the shocking waves, suddenly heard her brother-in-law say such a sentence, and her half-squinted eyes opened to look at the man who was carrying the gun and carrying the weight.
Perth night, always so unexpected, can not let Her Royal Highness feel cold, but also be careful to watch out for MI5 assholes, most importantly, can not let his wife feel wrong.
The most unexpected thing that happened was the next day, when Alan Wilson heard that Nehru had set up, in India, the Indian National Space Research Board, with Dr. Vikram as its chairman.
“I suddenly feel now that the space race is not something that is very high tech now.” Holding the Times of India newspaper, Alan Wilson felt that the steak his wife was serving didn’t even smell good anymore.
“What?” Pamela Mountbatten thought that her husband didn’t like her handiwork, her tone was a little lost, and after seeing the newspaper in her husband’s hand, she realized, “The space race is so valued all over the world now, isn’t Nehru trying to build a great nation of sound and color, and it’s normal to set up such a department.”
“Normal?” Alan Wilson seemed to go into a state of reminiscence, he remembered that India’s space start was still from the sixties, now it was a few years earlier, “No need to think, India’s space talent, again, was trained in London.”
It didn’t even have to be thought about, but was an all too obvious fact that the man in charge, Vikram Sarabhai, had studied in England, and after earning his Bachelor’s Degree from St. John’s College, Cambridge University, published his dissertation, “Cosmic Ray Studies in Tropical Latitudes” and earned a PhD in Physics under Nobel Prize-winning physicist, Prof. Chandrasekhara Raman, and returned to India after its independence.
“You could still be setting up a university in Malaya.” Pamela Mountbatten snickered, “Wouldn’t that also be training future competitors? I remember you saying that Europe is not really ahead of other civilizations.”
“The exact meaning of my words was that Europe is not ahead of other civilizations and other civilizations are not ahead of Europe.” Alan Wilson corrected his wife, he had said something similar before, essentially he didn’t think there was a certain civilization that existed in the agricultural era, the whole thing about being many, many years ahead of other civilizations was basically determined to be intentional in order to inspire national pride.
“I’ve got a way to defuse the threat, too, of high-pressure education to the native universities by establishing a university in Malaya.”
Alan Wilson cuts off his steak and feeds it to his wife’s mouth, explaining, “I just need to educate useless knowledge.”
Even rolled up and using a high pressure education, it was easy to bring off the beat.
It’s important to recognize that the vast majority of what a person learns in a lifetime is simply not useful in life.
If Alan Wilson wanted to, he could have taken a high-pressure education and produced talents with more knowledge than the native British students, which would have been easy. But it is also possible to make these talents learn knowledge that cannot be used.
These Malayan talents who were exposed to British-based colleges and universities would surely want to be sifted out of the bunch by his high-pressure education first.
In the case of math, he can greatly expand the educational content of math, for example, by making it mandatory to learn a certain percentage of OU in primary and secondary schools, mental arithmetic which is almost useless for use occasions, and so on.
He can do this again for every subject, adding a large amount of content that is destined not to be used later on, and distracting the students’ attention.
This approach is basically harmless, at least you can drink too much and brag about it after learning so much more useless knowledge.
“To say that in the peak era of the British Empire, you were not born that is really the loss of the entire British Empire.” Pamela Mountbatten lightly chewed her steak and shook her head, “But it’s good, I wouldn’t have been able to marry you if you were born earlier.”
In front of the national fortune of the British Empire and her own personal life, Pamela Mountbatten adhered to the spirit of nobility and decisively chose herself.
