Staff and Security

• Engineers and ground controllers: NASA is not a unified conspiratorial bloc. Most ground-control personnel want the spacecraft to reach the Moon safely; engineers independently verify Gao Jian’s fuel warning and later confront the leadership 2 5 7.
• Federal employment: Most engineers are paid under the GS system. The text gives an ordinary engineer’s salary ceiling as $200,000 annually, contrasting it with the dismissed flight director’s $2 million SpaceX offer 10.
• NASA Security Force: Its special agents are federal employees authorized to carry weapons, conduct criminal investigations, and make warrantless arrests. Many previously served in military or local police organizations 7.
• Shared personnel: Some staff work for both NASA and SpaceX. During the ignition dispute, these employees attempt to issue secondary ignition commands on Musk’s behalf 2 7.

History

Artemis Preparations

In 2025, NASA announces a timetable for an American return to the Moon in 2028. It completes its preparations in three years, including uncrewed lunar surveys and deployment of Gateway. CNSA remains at the uncrewed landing and orbital-docking testing stage, with at least two more years of preparation expected 1.

The lunar architecture combines SLS Block 1B with SpaceX launch capabilities. Gao Jian judges the SLS somewhat more advanced than China’s Long March 10 and considers its demonstrated technical capabilities sufficient for a lunar mission 1 3.

Fuel Warning and Ascent Sabotage

NASA repeatedly refuses Gao’s requests for a close-up SLS tour. He instead reaches the launchpad invisibly, inspects the rocket with spiritual sense, and repairs loose bolts and defective welds 1.

Before launch, Gao enters the firing room and reports that the liquid-hydrogen tank is only 63% full and the liquid-oxygen tank 61% full. Engineers initially trust the sensors, but their checks reveal sharply reduced loading flow despite full-tank readings. Blackwell suspends preparations and orders refueling 2.

The subsequent ascent reveals deliberate interference by Blackwell, Anderson, Nelson, and Miller. Their measures include inferior hull materials, insufficient explosive charges in one booster’s separation bolts, and an early launch intended to exploit dangerous winds. Gao repairs more than twenty external hazards, counters the crosswind, and severs the stuck booster with sword energy. Ground control mistakes his interventions for successful automatic correction and backup separation 4.

False Ignition and Control-Room Revolt

After orbital insertion, the EUS simulates an engine burn through a rotating vibration mechanism without producing thrust. NASA broadcasts prepared CGI depicting successful translunar injection while the actual spacecraft remains in low Earth orbit 6.

Blackwell claims that an extreme radiation event makes the lunar flight unsafe. The four senior officials present a united front, supported by armed personnel, and staff are pressured into silence 6.

Musk challenges the warning using public monitoring data and pays NASA security agents $2 million each to remain neutral. Engineers and the flight director openly question the accumulated failures, but SpaceX-affiliated staff cannot complete ignition without L5 authorization. Jasade arrives, fires Anderson, and forces Blackwell to grant it. Live footage replaces the simulation and briefly shows Gao at an engine nozzle before ignition blasts him away 7.

Geomagnetic Disaster and Crew Recovery

NASA and the FBI cannot explain the figure’s presence or survival. Jasade fires the flight director for transmitting its image to the astronauts, while control-room personnel surrender communication devices and sign high-secrecy nondisclosure agreements 10.

A genuine geomagnetic catastrophe then overwhelms communications and spacecraft electronics. Jasade orders an emergency return, but Orion answers only with static. The event lasts roughly thirty minutes and disables more than 99% of the world’s active satellites 10 12 15.

Jasade tells President Vance that the crew cannot have survived and receives orders to announce their deaths. In reality, Gao temporarily shields them from radiation, treats them with Hundred Herbs Life-Renewing Pill residue, and propels their disabled capsule back toward Earth 11 14 16 17.

The return ends in the Gulf of Mexico rather than NASA’s planned eastern-Pacific recovery area. After missile interception attempts and Gao’s improvised waterspout braking maneuver, the capsule splashes down. NASA’s recovery team finds all four astronauts alive but unconscious 17 18 19.

Covert Affiliations Revealed

Blackwell later transfers Allen, Ron, and Jim to the White House against a hidden adversary’s instructions. Gao consequently revises his earlier view of Blackwell’s motives, recognizing that this action may have protected them 28.

At a Manhattan elite gathering, Jasade admits that his personnel installed multiple “safeguards” to prevent the Artemis mission from succeeding. He accepts responsibility for their failure, designates Blackwell as the person to blame, and describes a planned staged suicide for Anderson. President Vance’s growing suspicion has compromised the conspirators’ NASA channel 59.

The Bavarian Illuminati subsequently discusses obtaining the three protected astronauts for a perceived longevity benefit. The Zion Elders identify Gao as a more valuable target because of his radiation protection, healing, and spacecraft-rescue abilities 60.

International Conference Invitation

NASA later organizes an international aerospace conference concerning geomagnetic-storm prevention and Artemis program information. It invites CNSA, ESA, Russian United Aviation, and the Japanese Space Agency 61.

The invitation praises Gao’s fuel warning, disclaims any intention to hold him responsible for entering the control room, and encourages further cooperation. Old Li interprets its wording as an attempt to draw Gao back to America. CNSA agrees to send another representative, but explicitly excludes Gao 61.

Relationships

• CNSA — Principal rival in the contemporary space race, but also an observer partner and conference invitee. Gao’s detailed SLS information contributes to China’s decision to resume its lunar program 1 45 61.
• SpaceX / Elon Musk — NASA’s largest contractor and a core Artemis supplier, including the HLS lunar lander. Their partnership coexists with serious conflict over NASA leadership’s obstruction of the mission 2 3 7.
• Gao Jian — Official CNSA observer, unauthorized launch-site intruder, and concealed rescuer of the rocket and crew. The FBI later names him the prime suspect in the lunar-mission affair, while NASA’s conference invitation publicly thanks him 1 4 19 24 61.
• FBI — Investigates Gao’s access to the firing room and the unexplained spacecraft footage; also assists in enforcing secrecy inside the control center 3 10 24.
• President Vance — Presses for the lunar mission to proceed, orders the presumed deaths announced after communications fail, and later becomes suspicious of Jasade 7 16 59.
• Bavarian Illuminati / Zion Elders — Covert patrons and associates of senior NASA officials. Their involvement establishes leadership-level infiltration rather than unanimous support from NASA’s workforce 4 5 59 60.

Secrecy and Unresolved Questions

• Earth’s appearance: Gao detects adjustable optical glass in Orion’s windows. After the treated window is broken, the astronauts see an apparently immense, flat world; the underlying phenomenon remains unexplained 5 14.
• Misleading orbital calculations: Gao observes a vast spiral trajectory while onboard instruments report a conventional Hohmann transfer. He suspects deliberate design by NASA’s leadership, but does not establish its full purpose 9.
• Storm causation: The false warning used to block ignition precedes the actual catastrophe. Gao suspects intervention, while Jasade later calls the storm’s interference unexpected; the supplied account does not establish who caused it 6 10 14 41 59.
• Apollo landings: Gao’s doubts about earlier lunar missions are explicitly rejected by CNSA officials, who cite reflectors installed on the Moon as evidence that the Apollo landings were real 45 46.
• Restricted survivor access: American authorities withhold explanations of the astronauts’ extraordinary survival and do not permit foreign reporters to interview them. The surviving three remain under White House protection 59 61.
