Long Lehao, a senior consultant of the Long March series of launch vehicles, led the team to successfully develop a large-scale rocket with world-class standards. He still adhered to the first line of spaceflight in his senior years; Most of the time was spent on discussion programs, participating in trials, and even "no time to get sick"; technical worker Wei Wenju, at the critical moment of rocket launch failure, twice rushed into the rocket storage tank of the remaining highly toxic fuel to eliminate the fault sacrifice.
Generations of astronauts regard the motherland ’s aerospace cause as life and engrave “all for the motherland, all for success” in the vast space.
The power of dreams and the course of struggle have created a miracle of the development of China's aerospace industry. Chang'e lunar exploration, Beidou networking, rocket flying, satellite roaming ... At present, China's space industry is booming, the great cause of exploring the vast universe is more stable and farther, and the pace of the realization of the space dream is getting closer and closer.
