Landing on the Moon was only the first step.
For those researchers who sent the astronauts to the Moon, what really mattered was what happened after the moon landing.
Some of the materials from the lunar module were loaded on the lunar rover. Nie Yan sat in the driver's seat, and she started the engine and drove toward the closest crater. Liu Zhengwen was sitting in the co-pilot seat.
Liu Zhengwen stared at the craters in the distance. When he looked back at the blue planet, he couldn't help but speak.
"It's quite lonely here."
"Yeah."
The two didn't talk a lot.
The lunar rover stopped next to an impact crater. Liu Zhengwen got out of the car and looked around. He saw a pole standing on the ground near the crater.
"This is…"
"This is probably the flag of the United States. Apparently, they used nylon flags back then. The flag was damaged by cosmic rays, and the pole is the only thing left… Turn on your body camera."
