Saving the planet is a super proposition, but saving a loved one on Earth is a personal proposition. For the sake of the heroine and the chance of survival for all mankind, Duguyue chose to be brave.
"Walking on the Moon Alone" is not a hard science fiction movie from the inside to the outside, but a substantial drama under the framework of science fiction. In the film, the moon base is used to launch interception weapons and destroy the meteorite and other sci-fi elements that are approaching the earth. Although the sci-fi elements are not shocking, the implantation of various emotional and humorous elements greatly enhances the appeal of the film.
If you put aside the comedy in the film and look at it from a scientific perspective, "A Walk on the Moon" explores a serious question that has been pondered over and over - if the earth encounters an alien celestial body hitting , what is the chance of survival? Geological studies have shown that a large-scale outer meteorite impact that occurred 65 million years ago led to the mass extinction of Earth's species. If such an impact happened today, humans, who believe that they are far more intelligent than dinosaurs, would obviously not sit still. The creators of
"Walking to the Moon Alone" took a more violent approach, using multiple large nuclear bombs to directly destroy the meteorite, and chose the launch base on the moon - launching spacecraft into deep space from the moon with lower gravity will be easier. A plan called "Moon Shield" was designed in the film, which is to use the moon as a shield to directly block the residual debris from hitting the earth after the "Moon Hammer" nuclear bomb destroyed the meteorite and produced a large number of small fragments, and use the moon's gravity to capture smaller fragments. Fragments, these are very bold, novel ideas. Of course, at a distance of only 380,000 kilometers from the moon, there is a guy whose gravity and scale are much larger than that of the moon-the Earth. However, the value of science fiction is not accurate verification, but the assumption of scientific logic.
In the vast galaxy, the earth is more like a speck of dust, wandering in the midst of countless specks, and encountering other unpredictable specks at close range or even at zero distance. some. Before the birth of human beings, this kind of thing was naturally ignored (dinosaurs thought about it and had no technical means), but when human civilization has thousands of years of experience, we will have to try to block it with our weak scientific muscles Those uninvited guests who travel thousands of miles in seconds.
To prevent extraterrestrial celestial bodies from hitting the earth, human beings have indeed gone through the "smasher thinking" stage described in "A Lonely Moon". If a super-nuclear weapon, the most destructive thing at the disposal of mankind, could be sent to a meteor with a rocket and detonated, it could destroy the smaller meteor, making it less or less threatening to Earth. Another coping strategy emerged after
's "shredder thinking", and that is the concept of derailment. If one or more rockets are used to launch and attach to the meteorite, it is equivalent to installing a propulsion system on the meteorite. By adjusting the magnitude and direction of the thrust, the meteorite can change its flight trajectory. As long as its orbit doesn't rendezvous with Earth, then it can continue on its own journey. This kind of thinking is somewhat similar to Dayu's flood control , it is better to dredge rather than block it. Technically the concept is also more controllable and more effective in preventing disasters and secondary disasters, the only problem is that it requires a higher level of engineering skills. Fortunately, human spaceflight technology has not stood still and is constantly improving. The lunar base described in
"Walking on the Moon Alone" is already a near fantasy, because China, the United States and some other countries are considering the issue of building manned lunar bases. Building, energy, food, drinking water and other issues needed for people to live on the moon for a long timeis gradually being resolved.
But human beings' arrival on the moon and staying there for a long time is not just for curiosity or even exploration. In the grand picture of human spaceflight, the moon may be a springboard that God has prepared for us. We can take a nap on the moon to understand space, and then from It sets sail to a deeper universe. Of course, if necessary, the Moon could also serve as a base for Earth's outer defenses - although we hope that will never be activated.
Movies are stories told using visual art. Such a proposition about the present and the near future, reaching the general public, especially the young generation, in the form of sci-fi comedy, may inspire more young people to explore the spirit of science. After all, the original scientific interest of many scientists throughout history came from good science fiction.
Every successful movie is about building a great story in a specific plot environment. Lonely Walk on the Moon is painstakingly successful in both ways, reminding people to think about what it means to be alive with laughter. To sum up, "Walking on the Moon" is an interesting story about a hopeless man on the moon and a group of hopeless people on Earth who fuel each other with spiritual propellants.
