What would be the benefits of placing a datacenter in the space?

Why are there so many people jump arround and scream of dramatic reasons for the delay? From sabotage to bureaucratic action? Why do people even think that the newly established agency has anything to do with a launch date that was approved long ago by the parent of that new agency?

Why can't people just accept the plain cause, WEATHER which is "cause majeure" as the official statement said. There was a fxxking strong wind lasting for more than 8 hours in Beijing in the past days. Guess where the wind is from? Besides, Beijing is shielded by the mountains, imagine the launch site in the middle of flat land without any mountain to protect.

Perhaps that's true. But Landspaсe could have written a few lines about the reasons for the delay, and the situation would have been much clearer.

This is an interesting article showing all the production bases for different commercial rocket production sites in China as of 2025/6

They never acknowledged that the launch would happen on 29th or 1st in the first place, so they couldn't have announced a delay!

The original is from Hellospace and they did more detailled articles on each of the main space industrial clusters:


As well as a national overview:



Beside a nice overview of the discovery of the Shenzhou-20 anomaly and the following decision making through November, this has important informations:

Shenzhou-23 will be delivered 2 months ahead of schedule (March 2026->January 2026), the preparation and testing of Shenzhou-24 will also be accelerated but it will not be able to be delivered until next summer (originally it was to be delivered in September 2026), there will therefore probably be 1-3 month gap where there will be no "launch on need" capability, although it is not excluded that the launch of SZ-23 could be slightly postponed to reduce that gap (Note: since Shenzhou-22 was launched in late November, it can still return in June and still be within its nominal lifespan)
