We never claim CNSA are far ahead of NASA but US fanboy will claim they are miles ahead of CNSA but fact is many of Chinese space feat are achieved independently while high horse American need to look at some of the their so called cutting edge tech are dependent on others especially on Russian.I don't think that was the point i was making. I don't get what bitter pill to swallow you are talking about . What China has achieved as a developing country/power is admirable and to be commended, no doubt about that. I was just saying that there was no need to bring the US in the discussion and to start claiming how ahead you guys are compared to them etc . It just invites trolling, insults , etc, which just derails the threads and takes focus away from this good topic/achievement.
Moreover, not even your space officials will claim they are ahead of the US. China still has a long way to go, but they seem to be on the right track at least and have the scientists/skills and resources necessary for achieving their goals. that's the most important. The US is an old space power and the established power at that, so they obviously have lots of advantages, one with lots of experience/skills/knowledge and a dynamic private sector, so they obviously have leads in many sectors, given their track record and the fact that they have explored almost every planet in our solar system and even sent probes beyond our known solar systems. So we shouldn't make this about a competition or zero sum game. admire your country's progress, no need for inciting useless debates and trolls
Lol.. we don't lack the tech to explore other planet as our Mars mission proven. What we need is time. Chinese spend more time to do it becos we want to achieved everything independently unlike some depend on Russian tech like ISS main core module of space rocket engine of RD-180.What the Chinese are yapping about is inconsequential. They know their so far behind that they have to find the smallest details to poke fun at NASA. In the grand scheme of things, NASA has achieved far more than China ever has. I mean NASA has been to every planet, put man on the moon, peered into the heavens with Hubble, and sent probes to interstellar space. China just visited its first planet.
While China sends humans to low earth orbit, NASA and SpaceX are developing the rockets to send humans to the Moon(again) and Mars…….today.
