Chapter 483 - 302: Rushing to the Moon and Extraterrestrial Anchor Points_2
Chen Yun also began the slow deceleration phase, gradually reducing his increasing speed to ensure he wouldn’t crash directly onto the Moon.
After all, if possible,
Chen Yun didn’t want his moon landing to be too disgraceful.
To slam into the Moon like a meteorite at several times the speed of sound and leave a new crater behind would be a bit too exaggerated.
Speaking of moon landing, Chen Yun still hoped for a bit of a fairy-tale-like grace.
After all, how celestial is Chang’e’s flight to the Moon?
Moreover, from ancient times to the present, there have been countless legends about the Moon, and Chen Yun had somewhat mixed feelings about it.
Humanity has always been filled with endless curiosity and imagination towards the Moon, reflected in the myths, legends, and stories of various cultures.
In Hua Country, the best-known story is that of "Chang’e Flying to the Moon," which tells of Hou Yi’s wife, Chang’e, who, to prevent the Immortality Potion from falling into the hands of evildoers, swallowed the potion and ascended to live in the Moon Palace—this legend symbolizes sacrifice and eternal love.
In Greek mythology, Selene is the goddess of the Moon, and she rides across the sky each night in a golden chariot pulled by two horses, representing the Moon’s beauty and mystery.
In Northern European mythology, the moon god, Mani, is responsible for driving the Moon across the sky, reflecting the importance of the Moon to Nordic people’s lives.
