China takes significant step towards launching solar power plant in space

[Beast]

Just a correction. The ability in question is not as much to send a man to space but it is to send a man safely in space and return him/her safely. Thats why it is so hard.

Why did I mention such a pedantic point? Because ASAT requires only one thing beyond a workable missile: guidance and seeker system to hit a satellite. For such a big satellite which is capable of capturing gigawatts of energy, it need not be too accurate. Actually, accuracy is required only for Hit to Kill kind of weapons. A weapon that just explodes in the vicinity of such a satellite might do that trick as well.

So yes, quite a few countries can muster such a weapon with some effort.

As if US, Russia and China cant send a man from space back safely? Which countries want to send a man to space but cant safely bring it back? India want to be the first?

What is the first round?

Securing loyalties of surrounding countries.

Securing loyalties of surrounding countries.

lol... Dont be fooled by western media. They are only good at bragging spin fake stories to fool you.

Tell me which developing countries want war but not economy development? And you think US can really help you develop economies with all their overprice and overcharging fee? Pakistan is misled by just one man who decide to sell out his countries. He has no pride but loyalty to money only. Pakistan shall start a revolt and civil war to overthrow him.

Then who got hacked that could have the details ? I guess that be the $Billion question, if rumors of tech detail leaks are correct. Could be only rumour after all. I am resisting the urge to tag  Panzer here because he will just 'haha' it off anyway 😁😄

LOL. Landing spacecraft on comet is nothing significant. Even JAXA done it before EU. What are you trying to say? Like ISRO bragging about sending 101 mini satellite like something significant?

Sending man to space indeed is something significant. It require large amount of investment, know how and technology to achieve that. You think is same as landing something on comet?


What is the first round?

Jaxa landet on an asteroid, not a comet. Look dude if you dont have knowledge in those topics, why bother too discuss?


If you dont know the difference between a comet and an asteroid...shows me chinese education system is miserable. We learn that at grade 9 in school. Guess science has no high priority in your system.


At the moment the only sucessfull comet landing was performed by ESA.


Landing on a comet is the most difficult thing to do in space. Far away from earth with long signal delay, rotating object with extremly rough surface and microgravity. Surface constantly shooting jets of gas and particles into space.



Shooting man into orbit is easy, even private companies can do so.

Easy? when will Greece do this "easy" stuff?

 

[Apollon]

Easy? when will Greece do this "easy" stuff?

Greece already did through ESA. Its like asking when will california do it or oregon.

Btw do you know what a comet is? Do you learn it at school or do all chinese have no knowledge about astronomy like your compatriot?

Lol, so Greece is a province, not a country. China's sight is on big things, when will Greece start building their space station by the way?

Fun fact. The ESA module Leonardo alone is bigger than entire chinese station.

EU has a space station? link please.

 

[Apollon]

EU has a space station? link please.

Its called the ISS. Its what advanced nations do. Cooperate dor synergies. Isolated regimes build cheap and small shit. That chinese thing is at same level what we had in 1970th and 80th. Like Skylab.

Poor China.. So far behind ISRO.

 

[beijingwalker]

ISS is EU's, are you high on something?

Poor China.. So far behind ISRO.

lol, China is far behind everyone, India, Greece,...

 

[Apollon]

ISS is EU's, are you high on something?

Yes its EU, USA, Canada, Japan, Russia and superior to anything China has. And the best about it? China has no acess to it.


On a sidenote. EU will not cooperate with China on lunar base either. We will partner with USA.

You don't have your own space station, it is Russia's, this is why Russia threatens you of leaving Americans up there in the space, lol

Russia threatens to abandon American astronaut in space as sanctions threaten peace aboard ISS

The escalating situation could put astronaut Mark Vande Hei's ride home from the International Space Station in jeopardy.

What utter bullshit, ISS has parts of all members. The russia parts can be replaced if needed. SpaceX already said they do it.


The european parts alone are bigger than that chinese crap station.
