Chapter 613: Chief Designer of the Spacecraft Research Group_2

The Institute of Mechanics' application was swiftly approved, and they immediately received a funding promise of two billion dollars.

This was still just the initial allocation.

National departments continued to discuss and held consecutive meetings, deciding to fully support the Institute of Mechanics' research, mainly because during the space shuttle experiment, they could indeed observe an anti-gravity barrier. The small space shuttle had clearly activated an anti-gravity barrier to complete the space jump.

Yes, a space jump.

The most significant impact of the astrophysics professor's statements was that they convinced many people that the completion of the space shuttle experiment relied on achieving a "space jump."

Actually, space shuttle experiments and space jumps are two entirely different concepts.

Space shuttling is a very fast "traverse," while space jumping equates to "teleporting," ignoring distance and obstructions to instantaneously "pass through."
