WOW you don't even know your country history. Habibie gave East Timor a referendum for continuation of aid among other things. Even Clinton & Howard was shocked by that decision.

Bill Clinton even allows the Dutch to maintain our fleet of F-16s to circumvent sanction until the situations boils over. While china immediately recognizes east timor & start building there.

You going to give me a history lesson traitor?

That's the US, Australia & other western countries that pressure BJ Habibie to retreat from East Timor Province.

Even US send their Amphibious battle group (1,000 marine infantry battallion aboard USS belleau wood)in order to pressuring Indonesia govt to abandon East Timor.

Australia & other western countries also send their warships off the coast of Dili. To prevent Indonesian navy help Army, if Indonesia choose to defend east timor.



Don't stir the facts in here..
How much CIA agent paid you, traitor? @Reashot Xigwin
How can you blame our National hero only to defend western countries interest

Accusing someone of being a slave is a bit much innit? When I can pull a uno reverse card and say you can't even vote.

But claiming to have superior techs when China still use repurposed soyuz techs is a grandiose statement.

While NASA & Spacex have gone developed beyond their legacy boosters.

I can actually vote, albeit restricted form. Please study our local election process man. And just because you can vote doenst mean you don't have a slavish mentality towards Westerners. You seem to believe they won't need our help to train astronauts which we proved you wrong. Innit matey?

Nobody is claiming anything, except you. You are the one who seems to be overexcited and overwhelmed by anything Chinese. Lol.

NASA needs to even use Russian help to get to space, dig into that thick skull of yours mate. Lol

Repurposed soyuz, then US rockets are Repurposed V2s?

You don't seem to remember how the OZs aka the 5 eyes funded the 'freedom' movement in East Timor? This is what we call selective vision and memory.

US owns the Russian space agency. Bankrolled is more the words. Fact is Russia would not be able to sends anything to space if the US doesn't save the Russian space agency.

Sure mate whatever you say:

US cables suggest Howard government didn't support 1999 Timor mission

Newly published intelligence documents, declassified by the United States, back claims it was the US and not Australia that ultimately forced Indonesia to accept peacekeepers and uphold the Timor Leste independence referendum.

The real question is how much the CCP pays you? Because if they do they should ask for a refund.

Hahhaahahaahahhah.....so the US is financing an enemy space force which also produces the SS18 Satan? You sure it's jor because of the shuttles getting axed? Gosh, the Indian mind is really amazing, the amount of self belief is beyond my comprehension, are you also telling me the Indians getting kebabed now is actually volunteering to save the earth by reducing the Indian population? Or that it is the grand Indian strategy of achieving herd immunity instead of sheer incompetence? Lolop

The Story of the ISS & the russian space agancy is so that the Soviet scientists can have something to occupy them instead of selling the skills to the highest bidder.

Fun fact: did you know that US upgraded russian nuclear reactors for free after the soviet collapse?

What Happened to the Soviet Superpower’s Nuclear Arsenal? Clues for the Nuclear Security Summit

Sure I believe you, it totally has nothing to do with the fact that they fcked up the Ares project and the shuttle got axed. Lololol. Why don't you ask your US daddy if they wanna help upgrade the Russian reactor now? Lol

It seems you can't tell time properly, one is after Putin, one is before Putin.

 

[Hack-Hook]

We warn when stuff is coming down vs complete silence from the Chinese space agency. Those people in Africa had no advanced warning from China...as if China gives a @#$% about Africans.

Pandemonium in 1979 when the US announced SkyLab was coming down..and we didn't know where.

I wonder how much those warning are useful?

How many Launcher projects that US still running btw. From private to joint the US still have more projects than china & russia have. When both countries launchers are either based out of soyuz or upgraded soyuz (russian is now building Soyuz 7)

One forget it doesn't matter today's russia owes everything to the US for bailing out a lot of their critical industry.

You can have multiple projects and shit, I am just asking a simple question, who sends US astronauts to space before this SpaceX launch? Nobody owes anybody anything man. The fact is US have Zero capability to go bck to the moon now, that's assuming the moon landings were real.

You said this after the US sends probe to mars?

Also don't hold your promise:

Elon Musk Is Maybe, Actually, Strangely, Going to Do This Mars Thing

From his private Cape Canaveral, the billionaire is manifesting his own interplanetary reality—whatever the cost.

Congrats on being beaten to the moon by a private company if this happens.

 

[mike2000 is back]

But you guys can't do what you used to be able to do, a clear sign of fast declining all across the board. You guys put all the resources and money in a race with USSR back then, it was never meant to be sustainable, China is not in a rush or compete with anyone, we take one thing at a time.

No the US is not in decline like some of you will want to believe. Its just that other powers/developing countries are also rising. Doesn't means the US is declining. If anything they have grown this past decade. China is rising doesn't means the US is in decline. I still cant think of one critical area where the US is in decline. They are moving ahead on many fronts as well, they are not remaining static. They will be launching people on the moon again in a few years from now, way before any other competitor can even get close to doing so. They have already launched many missions/lander/rovers on Mars until it's more like a casual thing for them(the only country still to have drove rovers on mars and they have done so several times). They are just trying newer things and technology there now while carrying out these launches(like the helicopter being flown on mars, the new landing crane system etc etc). Not counting SpaceX who has been leading the world in reusable launch systems, is now launching astronauts almost routinely now, frequent launches where they recover boosters have become routine and normal for them(something no country still has been able to achieve) and is now building an even more advanced powerful totally reusable rocket launch system the star ship and they are growing and launching rockets even faster/more frequently with each passing years. Blue origin is also developing reusable launch systems and geared towards exploration and commercial services and they are in advanced stages of soon trying this. etc etc
People saying the US is in decline is just being naive or wishful thinking.

SpaceX Successfully Launches and Lands Starship — a Milestone in Elon Musk's Quest for Mars

The mission marked the first time the Starship prototype didn't end up in flames

After four unsuccessful launches that ended in fiery explosions, SpaceX on Wednesday successfully launched and landed its Starship rocketship, a stainless steel vehicle Elon Musk plans to one day use to shuttle people to and from Mars.
SpaceX said the completed mission was the company's fifth high-altitude flight test of a Starship prototype from Starbase in Texas — and just so happened to fall on the 60th anniversary of the first American to travel in space.
The most recent flight test in March failed after the vehicle "experienced a rapid unscheduled disassembly" shortly after the landing burn started.
The Starship cooperated, however, for this go-round, and flew more than six miles about the Gulf of Mexico before it flipped and descended horizontally, then went vertical once more in time for landing, according to the Associated Press.
The outlet reported that a fire at the base of the 160-foot rocket was extinguished quickly.


"Starship landing nominal!" Musk, the CEO and founder of SpaceX, tweeted shortly after.

SpaceX said the Starship was powered through ascent by three Raptor engines, and then descended under "active aerodynamic control, accomplished by independent movement of two forward and two alt flaps on the vehicle."
The four flaps were actuated by an onboard flight computer to control the vehicle's altitude during flight, and enable precise landing at the intended location.

SpaceX said the point of the test flights are to improve understanding and development of "a fully reusable transportation system designed to carry both crew and cargo on long-duration interplanetary flights, and help humanity return to the Moon, and travel to Mars and beyond."

Musk raised eyebrows last month when he said in an interview that "a bunch of people will probably die" in the beginning stages of Mars exploration as experts work out the kinks of traveling to the Red Planet.
"Going to Mars reads like that ad book for [explorer Ernest] Shackleton going to the Antarctic," Musk, 49, told Peter Diamandis in a lengthy interview that streamed live on YouTube on Thursday. "It's dangerous, it's uncomfortable, it's a long journey. You might not come back alive. But it's a glorious adventure, and it'll be an amazing experience."

Musk initially hoped that SpaceX would be able to send people to Mars by 2024, but later revised the goal to a later date.
In December, he said he was "highly confident" that his company could land humans on Mars by 2026, according to CNBC.
"If we get lucky, maybe four years. We want to send an uncrewed vehicle there in two years," he reportedly said at an award show webcast from Berlin.

This alone will be a game changer in a few years from now when its matured and start launching. it will revolutionise space as we know it since it can have many applications on other sectors as well. This is what true innovation is, it involves risk taking and trying new things and yes you might fail initially, but no great successful man has ever achieved something without failing initially or at some point in time. We learn from failures. i'm saying this because some of you Chinese members here were making fun of Musk startship test failures recently and calling it a useless vanity project or something of the like. Very wrong way of looking at things to be honest. Give credit when due and learn from it.

However, it requires a very flat landing pad. First they must build the landing pad on Mars to ensure it lands safely.

We didn’t hear a peep from the Chinese on this forum on SN15s successful landing. They know their way behind, and don’t have the innovative capability to match SpaceX.

Their getting left in the dust.
