China Targets 2022 For Space Station Completion
Taco Cowboy writes: According to Reuters, China is aiming for 2022 to get its first space station operational. "China's leaders have set a priority on advancing its space program, with President Xi Jinping calling for the country to establish itself as a space power." After Chinese astronauts docked with the country's experimental space lab last year, they're planning the launch of another laboratory in 2016. Launch and construction of the new space station's core is planned for 2018, and their goal is to complete it by 2022. China insists that its space program is for peaceful purposes.
Zero chance. America helped China before and what was found is that solutions were put into military before civilians. Basically, China values military use over civilian use of space.
where life us going to get interesting is when american private space lands on the moon in 2020-2022 and starts a base.
I prefer the "u" in honour as it seems to be missing these days.
Yeah, maybe the Chinese will take some giraffees and other zoo animals up into space, something you'd have to bicker about with the other nations of the International Space station. Ever heard of such a thing as private property, and the tragedy of the commons? China's space station is like private property for that country, and the International Space Station is like a communist collective contraption. None of the countries really own is as their own.
Plus they seriously want to live in space, sustainably, unlike the rest of the world. I don't really care if it's Chinese living up there sustainably, as long as they are people. I mean I wish white people did too, but we're too bogged down with economics issues like forced insurance, sky high housing, taxes feeding welfare fuckers breeding out of control, and bickering, to afford anything like a space program. Thanks Obama and all your big dicked welfare recipients breeding out of control for killing our space program.
The jews control everything in the world and cockblock everyone else from controlling anything, because they learned their lessons at Masada after allowing Pontius Pilate and his folk to do the world controlling from Rome. Compared to the Romans and their gladiator-lion bloodfests and weak religion, the major achievement of Jews dominating Rome was making Romans erect Cathedrals to the Jewish God, Yahweh, and love each other in brotherly love, or at least pretend. The track record is not that bad, but when it comes to them Chinese, it's really hard to convert them to monotheist Abrahamic Judeo-Christianity, and if you let them get out of hand and allow them to control the world, you don't know what's gonna happen. After all east Asians lack concepts like kosher food, and the way they eat some animals, alive and stuff, even if economy would permit otherwise, shows lack of compassion toward other living beings, so how are these Asians gonna treat you, if you let them control the world?
