Sensory differences between my country’s core cabin and the International Space Station At 15:54 on June 17, 2021, my country’s Shenzhou 12 manned spacecraft successfully docked with the core module of Tianhe. Astronauts Nie Haisheng, Liu Boming, and Tang Hongbo entered the core module through the node module, which was “tidy and spacious”. The core cabin left a deep impression on the public. Yang Liwei, deputy chief designer of China’s manned space project, said: This home is too big, I really envy them! We must know that the space of Tiangong-1 launched in 2011 is only 15 cubic meters, but the core module directly reached 110 cubic meters this time, which has soared by more than 7 times in just 10 years. Who is not excited? Another topic that sparked intense discussion among netizens is that my country’s core cabin is clean and tidy, while the International Space Station, led by the United States and Russia, is “tidy and messy.” It looks like a rental house where a few sloppy old men live. A vegetable market! I searched a lot of similar pictures on the Internet, and I saw them “shocking”! Some netizens emphasized that don’t care about your appearance, just be able to work and achieve the purpose of the experiment! In fact, comparing our core module with the pictures of the International Space Station circulating on the Internet is not “objective and fair.” The core cabin is 16.6 meters long, 4.1 meters in diameter, and weighs 22.5 tons. It is mainly divided into working area and living area, and it can also do some small-scale scientific experiments. The core cabin is more of a control system, such as a display on the wall of the large column section with the largest diameter of the core cabin, which is responsible for detecting and summarizing the operating data of the entire core cabin. Furthermore, the core module is equipped with a water purification system and ionization oxygen production equipment. To put it bluntly, it is the last resort for astronauts to protect their lives and escape danger in an emergency, so complex scientific experiments and other activities are not implemented here. Most of the pictures of the International Space Station circulating on the Internet are in the experimental cabin. The notebooks and the interweaving of wires here seem to be “excusable”, and the core cabin of the International Space Station is also tidy at first. The Sugon is 12.56 meters long, 4.11 meters in diameter, and 19 tons in weight. It was made by Russia and launched in 1998. It is the first core module of the International Space Station. It can be clearly seen from the saved pictures: Although the core module aisle is larger than ours The core cabin of Tianhe is narrow and crowded, but it is enough for people to pass through; on both sides are drawer-like storage compartments, which contain various instruments and testing equipment, and there is no spider-web-style power cord or signal line, not to mention this. It is a product of twenty years ago. In 2000, Russia successfully launched the Star, which replaced the Dawn, and the space in the cabin increased to 46.7 cubic meters. Similarly, the internal environment of the Stars was clean and orderly in the initial stage. However, as various activities and missions of the International Space Station began, the original clean working environment was gradually destroyed, especially the experimental cabin. Many scientific instruments were not put back in place according to regulations; the walls were covered with photos of senior astronauts. , Including photos of their relatives; individual astronauts were too lazy to move, and privately pulled a power cord to power their own equipment; the experimental cabin was even full of many daily necessities, and even private objects, squeezing the position of the instrument. Then, judging from this, a clean and tidy space station and core capsule are better than the messy and messy International Space Station? This statement is obviously inaccurate, just like a clean and tidy student may fail every exam, but a fat man who is sloppy and sloppy can go to Tsinghua and Peking University. The key is that there is another possibility. As a major aerospace country, the level of scientific research will naturally not be worse? Then efficiency and details are particularly important. Therefore, the work and experimental environment of the International Space Station have been criticized. Many astronauts returning to the flight have written: There is a special smell in the core cabin and the experimental cabin, and the whole person is like living. In a dilapidated old house, I never missed it again after returning home! Neatness and cleanliness will undoubtedly improve the efficiency and accuracy of work and experiments. Scientists have long confirmed that people have the most positive attitude towards work in a clean environment, but on the contrary it will be greatly reduced. my country has a set of rules for the daily operation of the space station. As long as the space station is stationed, it must be implemented in accordance with this regulation. The astronauts of the 17 countries that have reached cooperation with my country must also strictly abide by it. Why has the International Space Station become chaotic? Some netizens blamed the long time and aging equipment for the chaos and disorder of the International Space Station led by the United States and Russia. Actually otherwise, any equipment will age, but aging has nothing to do with cleanliness. Many elderly people in their 60s can keep their homes in order and spotlessly clean, which is the same as the situation on the International Space Station. So what are the factors that caused the International Space Station to become this field? The running astronaut is an important factor. In November 2000, American astronaut Bill Shepard and Russian astronauts Sergey Krikalev and Yuri Gidenko took the “Soyuz TM-31” spacecraft and became the first permanent resident on the International Space Station. personnel. In the next two decades, 241 astronauts and tourists from 19 countries have visited the International Space Station. Some astronauts can stay for up to 7 or 8 months, while others can only stay for a few weeks. As a result, the astronauts who stayed for a certain period of time will not strictly abide by the system at all, and because they are from different countries, it is also troublesome to manage them. Over time, they will “play their own things”. In addition to safety issues, they can also comply with other trivial and minor details. No one cares about things at all! There are also open and secret fights between astronauts, which also leads to no one in the public environment! Initially, Russian astronauts will send the discharged urine to the United States, and American astronauts will purify it into drinking water. The United States shares the electricity generated by its own solar panels with Russia, and astronauts from several countries get along fairly well. Later, contradictions gradually emerged. The United States successively spent 4 billion U.S. dollars to purchase 72 Soyuz spacecraft tickets. Although it was a little expensive, the United States still bears it. After the U.S. space shuttle was grounded in 2011, Russia immediately increased the price, and a round-trip ticket rose from US$25 million to US$90 million. Without a discount, the United States gritted its teeth with anger. The United States immediately retaliated, first not allowing Russian astronauts to use fitness equipment, and then denying Russian astronauts to use their toilets. Russia does not pay special attention to balanced nutrition like American astronauts. It prefers heavy-tasting foods such as cheese, fish and cured ham. Therefore, the excrement is hard and tastes great. Frequent use of American toilets often causes malfunctions. The United States simply prohibits them from using them. . What makes the United States even more angry is that the toilet was specially customized for Russia at a cost of 19 million US dollars, but it has frequent accidents: in July 2009, the waste water and sewage separator in the toilet failed, causing the chemical substances stored in it to leak; 2019 The toilet leaked again without warning, over 10 liters of excrement overflowed, and the scene was in a mess. Under this kind of relationship, it is impossible to co-operate peacefully, each working according to their own ideas, regardless of the convenience of other countries, and after completing a task, they do not tidy up or clean up. Over time, they become accustomed to it, and then want to return to a clean and tidy state. Can say “wishful thinking”! Original: Lao Gao
