"The scenery of the earth is really charming. It presents colorful colors in the sun, which is very beautiful. Looking down at the earth from space, it looks like a colored glass ball, mainly blue with a lot of green, followed by clay and grayish yellow. On a clear day, the rivers, mountains, cities and plains on the earth can be seen very clearly. Especially when the space shuttle flies over China, I always ask other astronauts to give me the window. The chance is 14. Unfortunately, during most of that week, Chinese mainland was covered with dark clouds. I only saw the snow-capped Himalayas, the magnificent Yangtze River estuary and the emerald Hainan Island. The luckiest thing is to see Shanghai where I lived as a child. The most regrettable thing is that I can't see Beijing and the Great Wall. I photographed every place I saw in China with my camera. "
This is Wang Ganjun's description of the beauty of space, which shows a China people's love for the motherland. When the space shuttle flew over China for the first time, it entered from the southwest and flew out from the northeast. In these seven minutes, he ran in situ, symbolizing that he had traveled all over China. 1In July, 985, when Wang Ganjun visited China, he presented the motherland with a five-star red flag that he took into space, followed by a sentence "I am proud of my China origin", which expressed his childlike innocence.
Of course, what makes China people feel glorious is his space science experiment. 1979, NASA invited a space science experiment, and hundreds of scientists took part in the competition. Wang Ganjun's "Zero Gravity Liquid Experiment" is one of the selected 15 projects.
Wang Ganjun was born in Jiangxi and grew up in Shanghai. He went to Taiwan Province Province with his father when he was 10, and went to the United States for further study after graduating from high school. He received his doctorate in 1970, specializing in fluid physics and research, and obtained more than 30 invention patents. 1982, NASA recruited scientists and astronauts to conduct scientific experiments in space. Hundreds of scientists should be selected. After a year and a half of gradual elimination, only four people were left, and finally two people were eliminated. Wang Ganjun is one of the two people left. This makes him lucky to carry out his own space experiment project with his own experimental equipment in space. During the three-year training, in addition to experimental preparation, I also conducted more than 60,000 weightless trainings, became familiar with the space shuttle and did physical exercises.
Due to the influence of space environment, the experimental equipment broke down the next day, but Wang Ganjun was determined to repair the equipment as soon as possible. With the cooperation of ground scientists, he repaired it for two and a half days with tenacious will and skilled technology, and finally eliminated the fault. In order to make up for the lost time, he worked overtime for four or five hours every day beyond the stipulated 12 hours, and finally successfully completed the experimental task, which shocked the world. As Wang Ganjun said, "I won a sigh of relief for the people of China!"
