Re:
Just look at any comments to articles of this and you'll always find someone that calls for it to be shot down. It's happened virtually every major Chinese space launch.

There's more wishing for misfortune than anything else. You guys should know that.

Re:
You are confused. China hasn't exceeded the United States in manned flight. Look up the manned space programs from Mercury on until today and revise your thinking.
And catch up to China in what? Please tell me what China has done that America didn't do decades ago
And finally your understanding of private space is incomplete. Do some research and see what I am talking about

Re:
I think you misunderstood the question.
By achievements, I mean it relatively. For instance, do you measure the capability of manned missions by the distance they travel (say a moon mission) or by the number of launches done in a year (LEO?). And in that vein, how do you measure space capability in general? a combination of satellite, moon, mars missions, manned missions?
Mhmm. Well the previous example doesn't exactly back up your argument, the situations are very different and no one is in a space race.
Besides even if china announced its intentions to go the moon sometime next decade, you have to wonder whether the US government will allocate money for another moon mission out of vanity's sake.

Re:
By who? Are you sure that you are not imagining these calls for misfortune on the upcoming Chinese launch?
Please post evidence of someone calling for the Chinese spacecraft to be shot down. I sure have not seen anything to support your charges

Re:
Like you need proof that people wish failure on China? It's simple. Go to any news story about the upcoming launch on the internet with comments and read. It won't take long to find what you're asking.

Re:
It's good to be nostalgic about the past but we live in the present and the fact is US can't send a man to space now while China can.
Nothing wrong with what I said about private space, it hasn't proven much yet.

Re:
America embarked on a frenzy space race with the soviets and achieved a lot during the 50-70's. With the multiple moon landings it kind of reminded me of Zheng He's multiple fleet expeditions (giant ships vs giant rockets). Meanwhile it seems that China, like the Europe at the time, is lagging behind but seriously starting to develop and em-broaden their tech base and tech use.
There is a kind of parallel that I found interesting just looking at things from another angle.

Re:
Interesting analogy. However unless there are serious cuts in U.S. space effort funding I don't see Americans giving up on space exploration. Whether massive scale colonization will occur depends heavily on the practical exploitation of extraterrestrial resources.
