China's Space Program Thread II

[AssassinsMace]

I am a moderator here and part of what I try to do is to keep the useful threads continuously useful.
This thread is one of the better ones, so yes by definition I'm here to judge.

You've been on this forum a while, so I am asking you to exercise some restraint in this thread and don't use it to just post grievances and complaints about things. I've asked others in this thread about different topics as well (unrelated to anti-China or pro-China arguments but relating to discussions that have gone in circles repeatedly).
Note how in this post and the last few posts I have not written in blue or red, because I am deliberately choosing to have a conversation with you as an equal to make this recommendation.


If other members post things that are objectionable and stupid, then feel free to push back against them.

However there is no reason for you to post what is basically just rage bait when most people here already feel the same.

I see Biden repeating what you say are random YouTubers say on their channels. So we should say nothing?

That's not a bad idea. Or at least post it somewhere else, not this thread.

I have seen Angry Astronaut briefly repeating the anti-China lines of the NASA administrator several times. It is just that in this video he has decided to go full-on about it.

His claim that NASA is a civil administration is meaningless since the U.S. military has the top priorities in military space launches and activities and gets all the secrecy it demands. One way to disagree with him is to unsubscribe from his Channel.

Tianbing's new schedule for the maiden launch of Tianlong-3. Compared to previously stated intentions, everything has been shifted to the right by three months, give or take. Currently the first stage is being assembled, with a full system test to be carried out in June. Launch is now expected in Q3, as opposed in June as the company had previously hoped.

That looked to me like a close call. It was definitely off-centre. A few more centimetres and it looked like the a claw would have hit one of the beams of the ascender maybe causing it to glance off.
