The first observation丨The three-level deep meaning of the aerospace industry

  On the morning of the 22nd, in the Great Hall of the People, such a scene warmed the hearts of the people——

  When taking a photo with representatives of the participants of the Chang'e-5 mission, General Secretary Xi Jinping was seated next to two special "post-90s" and "post-80s": the first president of the lunar exploration project, who is already over 90 years old. The designer, Academician Sun Jiadong, and Academician Luan Enjie, the first commander-in-chief of the lunar exploration project over eighty years old.

Before and after the group photo, the general secretary had a cordial exchange with them.

  From this detail, it is not difficult to see that the general secretary attaches great importance to and cares about the aerospace industry.

  As early as in the early morning of December 17 last year, when the Chang'e-5 returner carried a lunar sample and landed safely in the planned area of ​​Siziwang Banner in Inner Mongolia, the General Secretary immediately sent a congratulatory message on behalf of the Party Central Committee, the State Council and the Central Military Commission.

This time, the general secretary also addressed the aerospace industry after meeting with representatives of the Chang'e-5 mission participants and visiting the lunar samples and the exhibition of the results of the lunar exploration project.

Facing the vast sky, what does the general secretary care about?

What is the deep meaning behind the message?

Climbing the technological peak

——The spirit of lunar exploration is another precious spiritual wealth

  In his congratulatory message on December 17 last year, the general secretary summed up the sixteen-character lunar exploration spirit of "chasing dreams, exploring courageously, coordinating fortifications, and win-win cooperation".

  During the meeting, the general secretary again emphasized: "In the past 17 years, all personnel involved in the development and construction of the lunar exploration project have vigorously promoted the spirit of chasing dreams, exploring courageously, coordinating fortifications, and winning cooperation. Congratulations and comforting."

  On December 4, 2020, the National Space Administration announced the photos of the lunar exploration project Chang'e-5 probe displayed on the lunar surface flag.

  Over the past ten years, the lunar exploration project has achieved "six battles and six victories", so many hardships and miracles!

Scientists such as Sun Jiadong, Luan Enjie, and Ye Peijian are old-fashioned and have a passion for the sky. A group of key aerospace experts such as Wu Weiren and Yang Mengfei are striving for their dreams and continuing to move forward. "Developing half the sky... Generations of astronauts have marked with actions the spirit of "two bombs and one satellite", the spirit of manned spaceflight, and the spirit of Beidou.

  It is worth noting that the "spirit of lunar exploration" is not only a full affirmation of the lunar exploration project, but also a higher requirement for astronauts. Its connotation is not limited to aerospace, but is also a complex external environment and a Suppressing the threat of catching up has many practical implications.

Serve the overall situation of national development

——Using the advantages of the new nationwide system is our magic weapon

  "The advantage of the new nationwide system" is an important system advantage of General Secretary Xi Jinping Nianzi here, and it is a magic weapon that cannot be ignored at any time when we overcome difficulties.

  On December 17th last year, the General Secretary pointed out in his congratulatory message: "This is another major achievement made by using the advantages of the new nationwide system to overcome difficulties. It marks a big step forward for China's aerospace industry. It will deepen the cause of mankind’s influence on the moon. And contribute to the scientific understanding of the evolutionary history of the solar system."

  General Secretary Xi Jinping once again emphasized when meeting with representatives of the Chang'e 5 mission participants who participated in the research and test: "We must continue to leverage the advantages of the new nationwide system, increase independent innovation, make overall plans, and make persistent efforts..."

On February 22, Xi Jinping's party and state leaders met with representatives of the participants of the Chang'e 5 mission of the moon exploration project and visited the lunar samples and the exhibition of the results of the moon exploration project.

  From "two bombs and one satellite" to "Chang'e holding the moon", facing major challenges and national tasks, we must rely on the nationwide system.

  In the new era, especially when we are in the midst of becoming stronger but not being strong, when some countries are not cooperating but suppressing and restraining, we must give full play to our joint advantages, serve the overall situation of national development, and accelerate the realization of technological self-reliance and self-reliance. Cultivate strategic technological strength.

  Especially in a very cutting-edge science and technology field like aerospace, what the new nationwide system bursts out is not only the “1+1” force, but also the multiplier, geometric multiple effect and speed.

 Make new and greater contributions to the peaceful use of space by mankind

——Exploring in the unknown world has always been the fundamental element of the continuous development of human civilization

  Exploring the vast universe is the common dream of mankind, especially the subsequent development of space science, space technology, and space applications. It is not only critical to the aerospace industry, but also has far-reaching significance for bravely climbing technological peaks and serving the overall situation of national development.

  Facing the lunar samples and precious exhibits, the general secretary is not only very concerned about scientific and application issues, but also constantly thinking about the long-term development and destiny of mankind.

Therefore, when we develop aerospace industry, we should not only focus on the present, but also focus on the long-term.

  This time, the General Secretary emphasized: “Exploring the vast universe is the common dream of mankind. It is necessary to promote the implementation of the fourth phase of the lunar exploration project and start a new journey of interstellar exploration one step at a time.” Contribution." Word by word, always concerned about the future development of China's aerospace industry.

  More than ten years ago, when China proposed its own three-step plan for lunar exploration, "circumnavigation, landing, and return", the world's major aerospace countries also "equiped their hands" and proposed their own lunar exploration plans and goals.

At that time, China planned to explore the moon in three steps over a period of more than ten years. Among the "lunar exploration ambitions", it seemed not so dazzling.

  Over the past decade or so, when countries around the world look back, very few countries have fulfilled their lunar exploration promises that year, and China is the only country that has not lowered targets, exceeded budgets, and did not delay time, and successfully completed the set goals.

  Great Power Rannuo——This is a kind of spirit and belief, and also a manifestation of our strength as a responsible power.
