Chinese Astronauts successfully launched

>>66228023
These astronauts are being sent on a 32 day mission to the new Chinese space station launched last month.

China's first astronaut made it to space only 13 years ago.

>rocket made in china
>astronauts made in China

What could go wrong?

>>66228023
Good for them.
Space travel needs everyone working together instead of people trying to bring each other down.

Competition, sure. But not wars or any of that other b.s

I wish them luck and hope the increase interest in scientific endeavors will encourage them to stop their aggression

>>66228046
a HUEzillian things

>>66228023
hope them doing more so we can get space budget also

When will India send someone to space on their own?

>>66228202
As soon as they figure out who to bribe.

>>66228120
This. The big missions are going to require more resources than one nation can provide.

I'm curious do they always get called 'astronauts'? I mean you guys are using the correct 'cosmonauts' when it comes to Russians. In Russia China's astronauts are correctly called 'taikunauts', isn't there something like that in English?

>>66228301
We won so we get to call the new guys astronauts. That was the deal

>>66228120
>>66228269
why do we need space travel, exactly?

>>66228364

Keep our mind off of the raping of the planet.

>>66228301
I've seen people use the term "taukunauts", very rarely.
Russia had a huge space program. Especially during the Cold War, it got a lot of attention. Hence, people used the term "Cosmonaut".
Nobody gives a shit about Chinese space achievements, by comparison.

Who gave the name Taikonauts to Chinese?

It sounds too Japanese.

I don't like it.

Imagine being so superhuman that your biology allows you to generate electric force fields from your body.

>>66228364
We need to find fresh planets to shit on. We can only go so much further with our own.

>>66228516
I know this feel. First they plagiarize the Gundam and then this.

>>66228548
Have you ever rubbed your feet on a carpet?

>>66228364
SCIENCE!

>>66228364
We like to plant our flag on other worlds and claim it for America.

>>66228122
Why can't we explore space and kill each other at the same time?

>>66228408
>Nobody gives a shit about Chinese space achievements, by comparison.

Bait

Western media is just ignorant about everything Chinese outside Hong Kong and Beijing.

>>66228301
There's no space race right nao so we don't do it. I tried explaining why English apparently had two words for astronaut but one specifically meant a russian one and I wasn't sure myself.

I mean the Chinese word for astronaut/cosmonaut is taikongren, so I suppose that's why you say taukunauts. Do you also Japanese spacemen uchuunauts?

>>66230531
*I once tried explaining to a English learning person why

>>66228202
when methane fueled rocket technology matures more :^)

>>66228516
Interesting how Japanese words and Chinese words sometimes sound similar... very... peculiar.

>>66229990
>the first to send people into space
>just now getting into the good shit 50 years later, something other countries and collection of countries have done for decades

No one gives a fuck.

>>66228364
To find the dankest memes in the galaxy of course

>>66230599
Actually only the US and the USSR have successfully sent people into space, until now, and only the US has performed a manned lunar landing.

It just seems like more become we send a bunch of intl. people up on our craft.

America's last space race was solely in their own self interest in a power play against russia.

A little different now because we owe the chinese a ton of money and they aren't threatening us with nuclear armageddon. There's no crazy technology to overcome and not much of a (practical) milestone to beat so I'm afraid america will just sit back and let the chinese colonize the moon and mars and so on.

What's to stop them?

>>66230684
What I hope will happen is that Congress with stop banning NASA from cooperating with the Chinese specifically. Really petty shit.

>all this salt here

kek

>>66230684
>What's to stop them?
Themselves.

>>66230740
Pulling out the "Chinese are so incompetent" meme in the very thread about a firm rebuttal to that very same meme is gay.

>>66230705
How are NASA and China working together?

>>66230844
They aren't at all.

>>66230808
Reading a lot into that, I think.

>>66228364
why anything
why neanderthals went extinct etc etc

>>66230861
Oh I read that post wrong the first time around, thanks.

>>66230876
Sorry.

>>66230684
> the US owes CHina lots of money meme
Shut the fuck up. You have no idea how treasury bonds and sovereign debt works.

China owns 7% of the US debt while Japan owns 8% or something.

>>66228023
Indifference. They're doing really basic shit and contributing almost nothing to space operations and research beyond Earth's nearby orbit with the exception of a couple robotic Moon missions.

>>66230969
there are literally no flights except one or two probes going beyond the nearby orbit.

>>66231186
is there any proof that it actually made it to orbit with actual people in it?

>>66230684

Man shut up, Nasa is working on a way to tow an asteroid into moon orbit and is using ion thrusters to achieve it.

Just because it's not on the front page of pol doesn't mean it doesn't exist.

>>66231835
>tow an asteroid into moon orbit
why?

wow such long mission
so kosmochink

1) practice redirecting asteroids in case one has a collision course with earth in the future
2) collect larger samples than a single probe can and do manned science missions on asteroid
3)promote the idea of asteroid mining to private industry
4)test capabilities required for mars mission and put some shit into lunar orbit that needs to be there for future deep space operations

4 is the primary mission. The asteroid is a bonus objective

>>66228202
Apparently Indians are good at sending satellites into space at a low cost compared to the US and russia

>>66232210
>poo in space

how can we stop them from taking over the moon?

Say it is bad chi or some such superstitious chink shit.

>>66228023
Chinese will probably be the first to send colonists somewhere because they aren't too concerned about their livelihood and there's so many of them.

>>66232170

Most notably deep space radiation when towing said asteroid. Espically beyond the electromagnetic fields of earth.

Thx canadabro, I'm far too drunk rn

It may seems like a small achievement in comparison to our hollywod space fiction but in reality something as small as redirecting an asteroid is really a huge step for future missions

We of course need to keep safety nd costs in mind

>>66228202
We are working on it.

Now that it reached space successfully without exploding, will the ship explode during the return mission to earth then?

>>66233087
I always asked myself who will have an horrible space accident next, now I have my answer.

Can't wait for the horrible death of your pilots.

>slant eyes have a chimpout over growing Western control of China
>an international force of British, French, German, American, Italian, Russian, Austrian, and Japanese troops all storm Beijing and crush the uprising
>they also extract a $70 million indemnity from China
>the United States however decides it doesn't really need that much money and pays back all but $20 million of it
>the Chinese government, impressed by this generosity, agrees to send their elite students to American universities, many of whom became revolutionary leaders in the coming decades

>>66237142
In the long run however, despite the revolt being crushed, the Chinese won since they avoided having the country partitioned among the European powers, which was seriously being discussed at the time.

It was crazy shit, man. The European powers were building railroads all across China to extract its raw materials and there were Protestant, Catholic, and Orthodox missionaries running around all over the place. To an extent, one can understand Chinese distrust of Western countries down to the present day.

is there a reason why they simply dont blow up the station?

Yeah but it wasnt made in the 3rd shift by babies for it to be sold to the west in bootleg shipping containers.

Don't you know how much technology we use every day came about from the race to the Moon? Especially computer technology made significant leaps.

>>66228516
yeah, Japanese language and culture were all based off Chinese ones

>>66230913
That is not an argument.

>>66230949
Wrong

>>66231186
Giant ice blocks falling off the rockets is normal

Them hitting the rockets is not

That killed the Columbia

Good thing the Chinese aren't reusing the rockets though. So all is good
