SpaceX again embarrasses Russian and Chinese state Space programs with 7 man Dragon spaceship launch

[Kiss_of_the_Dragon]

The US has visited every planet in the Solar System. The US revolutionized astrophysics with space telescopes such as Hubble and Kepler. We’ve put man on the Moon. China has not even visited one planet.

You are all talk.

Is that a big deal that you guy sent a probe visiting every planet? with Chinese current technology, we could do the same but we have other priority such as to colonize the Moon and by landing on the far side of the moon, we have made our self unequal to US and now US is willing to cooperate with China regarding moon exploration because you guys know we can do thing far beyond American expectation and you guys don't want to lag behind.

Regardless of your many achievements in the pass over space exploration, US is still nailing over earth orbit like the rest of space powers such China and Russia and worst struggle to survive over space budget constrain. Bragging your pass glory is pointless because all your pass achievements bring you no where.

Now now...they actually had a Mars probe..but they needed the Russians (oh boy) to launch it there...guess how that ended...

Even if it was a failed project, China-Russia space cooperation is still far more important than China-US space cooperation...and don't talk like US didn't have any space failing project...maybe Challenger ring a bell?

Yeah, but we didn't give up. Where is Yinghou-2?

Moon is our priority, what is the point to explore Mars when Moon is just at our door step? Colonize Moon will bring more beneficial to China than exploring and wondering around the galaxy.

Yes, visiting every planet is a huge deal. And no, you don't have the technology or you would have done it already. China has not even visited one.

Once again, you are all talk.

 

[nahtanbob]

Too bad America doesn't have a state space program to embarrass.

is there any rule that says state has to accomplish everything ?

Lol what ever, it's pointless to argue since your space achievements brought you nowhere but still struggle to bring some spacecraft over the earth Orbits. You can claim that US is light years ahead of China over space exploration but you guys are still remaining on earth as the rest of humanity, you got my point?.

You sound so bitter

 

[Kiss_of_the_Dragon]

You sound so bitter

I will only sound bitter if China space program is on stagnation while watching other Nations progress but I can't say the same about American when they had witness China tremendous progress with the success landing on far side of the Moon despite that they're light years ahead of China, they have bitter taste of Chinese progress and fear that we will colonize the Moon before them and get the better Moon spots for mining the rare precious material.

The great irony is that American had issue a law forbidden themself of cooperating with China over space mission and now they demand access of Chinese moon relay satellite for their future moon mission...LMAO, they're willing to work and share Moon data with China.

In the 15+ years since your first manned launch in 2003 you've sent a whole 11 people into orbit (meanwhile by the 10th year NASA already had 12 men walk on the moon). How many launches do you think it will take before SpaceX passes you? Then the scale of the embarrassment will really hit home. They've already said NASA will not be their exclusive customer.



That's the current Soviet tech. That's why they should be embarrassed. What have they been doing for the last 50 years?

That is even more embarrassing as u mention all these great achievement of NASA. May I as you now,why do NASA need to use a 50years old soryuz to go ISS while US has no ability to go ISS? Don't talk about these new spaceship until it can really send a man to ISS.

BTW, China shenzhou is much bigger than Russian soryuz. In fact, if needed. It can carry 4 astronaut. At least China shenzhou don't killed people like US spaceship.

Adding Rocket Man to His Résumé

HAWTHORNE, Calif. — The coming debate over the future of the American space program will, in no small part, revolve around this question: Should the United States hire Elon Musk, at a cost of a few billion dollars, to run a taxi service for American astronauts?

President Obama’s budget request for 2011 calls for dismantling the Constellation program — the system of spacecraft that the National Aeronautics and Space Administration has been developing for returning astronauts to the Moon — and turning to private enterprise to provide transportation to and from the International Space Station. The budget asks for $6 billion over five years, which would most likely be split among two or three competitors .

That is the chance that Mr. Musk, 38, and his eight-year-old company, SpaceX, have been waiting for.

Smart, brash and prickly, with the accent of his native South Africa, Mr. Musk promises that SpaceX will be able to provide space trips aboard its Falcon 9 rockets at $20 million a seat — a small fraction of the cost of a ride on the space shuttles or the Russian Soyuz rocket. And Mr. Musk, says he could do it in two or three years once he signs a contract with NASA.

“Really, the whole purpose of SpaceX from the beginning has been human spaceflight,” Mr. Musk said last June to a blue-ribbon panel reviewing NASA’s human spaceflight program. When he started SpaceX in 2002, Mr. Musk was an Internet entrepreneur who had made his fortune with PayPal. SpaceX now has nearly 900 employees. It successfully launched a small Falcon 1 rocket into orbit in 2008, and successfully deployed a satellite last year. It has a $1.6 billion contract with NASA to bring supplies to the International Space Station in its larger Falcon 9 rocket. “I absolutely believe he can do everything he says he can,” said Peter H. Diamandis, founder and chairman of the X Prize Foundation, which seeks to encourage space development through technology contests. “I’m a fan of the approach that SpaceX has taken.”

Aerospace giants like Boeing and Lockheed Martin will almost certainly also submit bids for the new NASA contracts, but SpaceX has drawn much of the attention, both positive and negative.

comin' up...war to control titan!!!

 

[Hamartia Antidote]

now they demand access of Chinese moon relay satellite for their future moon mission

We have had multiple relay satellites orbiting Mars since at least the first rover mission in 1997.. Putting one around the moon isn't a big deal.

You are avoiding my inquiry. I am not talking about future. There can be lots of things happen that may derail the unpredicted. If NASA wants to go ISS now, what is the available option? You are slapping your own faces...

Soryuz.

 

[gambit]

Lol, not only we thing bigger but we think longer for the distance future, we Chinese can do better than American for a fraction of your space budget: When come for a mega-construction, you have no match to us beside crying and feel insecure of what we're doing and making propaganda of China's threat. In near future I hope you live long enough to witness China to construct and operate the Star Trek voyager look alike machine while you guys can only enjoy your Sci-Fic movie...where American fail we will success and you can be sure that the captain to the bridge will be Chinese and not James T Kirk.

You got a loooooooong way to go, son...

The soyuz did it's job very well. I don't see any reason to be embarrassed.
