People in ancient times were full of curiosity and longing for the starry sky, always dreaming about everything about the starry sky, so there are many beautiful myths and legends. For example, the moon, the only natural satellite of the earth, people in ancient times did not think that the moon was very desolate, but imagined that the moon was a beautiful world where beautiful fairies like Chang’e lived.
For people entering the age of science and technology, the moon is not beautiful at all, with countless craters on the surface. It looks very ugly from a distance, and it also makes us feel terrified. Whether it is ancient or modern, standing on the earth and looking at the starry sky, we feel curiosity and longing, and there is no sense of fear.
For many people, it is a good wish to go out of the earth and see the earth from space. Probably for most people, standing in space to see the earth is a very wonderful experience. It will make us feel excited and feel the hope for a better life in the future. So is this really the case? Is it really a wonderful experience to look at the earth from space?
To unravel this mystery, we can only find the answer from those astronauts who walked out of the earth. After mankind entered the age of science and technology, the first astronaut to walk out of the earth was Gagarin of the Soviet Union. He walked out of the earth on April 12, 1964, stayed in the earth’s orbit for 108 minutes and returned to the earth safely.
Looking back at the earth from the orbit of the earth, your first feeling is that it is big. Yes, we can’t feel the size of the earth at close range on the earth, so we will not have a sense of oppression on the earth, and we will not be on the earth. Fear. But after we walked out of the earth, it was different. At this time, the earth was very large in front of us, and the large often gave people a sense of oppression and made us feel fear.
Imagine if the earth ran into Jupiter’s orbit, we would see a huge Jupiter hanging high above our heads when we stood on the earth, and that kind of oppression would make us feel terrified. At the same time standing on the earth’s orbit, the weightless environment inside the spacecraft, coupled with being in the vacuum of the universe, although I knew that I would not fall on the earth, I was always afraid of falling.
This is the fear of standing on the orbit of the earth and looking back at the earth. After stepping out of the earth, every astronaut will feel fear instead of curiosity and excitement when observing the earth at close range. Only by staying for a long time and entering space many times, may we be able to gradually adjust from fear and no longer feel afraid.
Some people may say that standing in the orbit of the earth, we will feel fear and fear, then we can be farther away from the earth and run to the moon, then there will be no fear. Is this really the case? After human beings walked out of the earth, the real realization of manned exploration is the moon.
In 1969, the American Apollo 11 successfully landed on the moon with three astronauts, achieving a great feat of mankind and taking an important step in mankind’s exploration of the universe. In later years, Apollo plans to send 12 astronauts to the moon. So standing on the moon and looking at the earth, is it happy or scared?
The moon has no atmosphere, and the environment on the surface is the environment of space, so when you look at the starry sky from the moon, you will see a darkness without the beauty of the sky full of stars on the earth. And this dark night sky itself will produce fear and pressure on people’s psychology.
And in this dark night sky, a huge blue planet hangs there, and this planet is our home earth. After Apollo 11 landed on the moon, the astronauts took a picture of the earth. Through this photo, you see a huge earth hanging in a dark night. Through this photo, we can also feel a kind of loneliness and fear.
Just a picture makes us unhappy, not to mention the astronauts on the moon, they have long lost the excitement that they had when they set off from the earth. Some are just loneliness, fear and fear. This loneliness is the loneliness away from home, because there are no other human beings and no life on the entire moon. Moreover, it is 380,000 kilometers away from the earth of Jiazhang. If anything happens, there is no time for rescue on this side of the earth.
I believe that some traveling partners who have been to uninhabited places will also feel fear and fear, and this is only on the earth, in a desolate and uninhabited place, you will feel lonely and helpless, fear and fear. Then in space, on the moon, this kind of loneliness and helplessness, fear and fear will be magnified many times.
Therefore, in addition to better physical fitness in the choice of astronauts, there is an important checkpoint that is psychological quality. If the psychological quality is not strong, once out of the earth, then the loneliness and fear that follow may completely overwhelm a person. Therefore, the focus of the training of astronauts is a strong psychological quality, and there is no courage to face loneliness and fear. , Then it will not let you out of the earth.
Some people may say that the universe is so terrible. If people feel scared and lonely in the universe, how will the future of humanity’s interstellar exploration unfold? We must know that with the continuous advancement of human technology, we need more people to go to the starry sky and explore the starry sky, so that human civilization can develop faster.
In fact, there is no need to worry about this. The main reason why people are afraid of the universe is that our scientific and technological strength is still relatively weak. If human aircraft can go out of the earth freely, and there is an artificial gravity environment in the spacecraft, then humans will no longer be afraid of going out of the earth. We must know that when the plane first came out, people were also afraid of the plane, always afraid that it would fall from a high altitude.
However, with the continuous advancement of science and technology, the performance and safety of airplanes are getting higher and higher, and people no longer fear airplanes, and they have become an important means of transportation for people to travel. The same goes for stepping out of the earth. As long as we have more advanced spacecraft and the safety is greatly improved, then more people are still willing to go to the starry sky, and the unknown mystery of the starry sky still attracts us deeply.
