To put it bluntly, the technology of this thing is just not mature enough.
Moreover, the space shuttle has always been able to fly only within a certain distance outside the atmosphere; it couldn't even reach the moon.
Now, hearing the system say it can be disassembled and reassembled into one, and seemingly into a super space shuttle capable of reaching Mars, how could Lin Yi not be shocked?
It's essential to know that the distance between Earth and Mars is a staggering 55 million to 400 million kilometers.
That is to say, the closest distance is about 55 million kilometers, and the farthest is over 400 million kilometers.
Since their orbital paths are different, the distance between them is always changing.
The near encounters between them occur approximately every 15 years. In 1988, the distance between Mars and Earth was about 58.8 million kilometers, and in 2018, it will be 57.6 million kilometers.
