China calls Space - Polidicks

[img]http://images.thenews.com.pk/updates_pics/world-China-President-AstronatesTalk_6-24-2013_106644_l.jpg[/img] [quote]Xi expressed his sincere greetings to the three astronauts who embarked on their space journey on June 11 on broad of the Shenzhou-10 spacecraft, the country's fifth manned spacecraft. Wang, China's first teacher in space, said the crew members could rest seven to eight hours per day. In the past 13 days of its journey, the Shenzhou-10 successfully finished automatic and manual docking procedures with the Tiangong-1. Also, a lecture was for the first time given from the assembled orbiter to about 330 primary and middle school students on Earth on June 20, while more than 60 million students across the country watched the live broadcast of the lecture on TV.[/quote] [url=http://www.thenews.com.pk/article-106644-Chinese-President-talks-to-astronauts-aboard-Tiangong-1]**THE SOURCE**[/url]

Oh sweet! It's nice to see the work that china put into this is paying off, space flights are cool and this can't be cheap.

[QUOTE=Jmir 54;41168254]I thought the title meant China called dibs on a certain part of space claiming teritory[/QUOTE] This is a given

"Yes, hello space? Is your thermosolar zero-g coolant running? WELL THEN YOU BETTER GO CATCH IT!"

Aw man, now who can I discuss Amigas with? Is there a timeline anywhere of when China expects their station to be completed?

[QUOTE=MIPS;41169601]Aw man, now who can I discuss Amigas with?

Then they'll send up a larger called : [URL]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tiangong-2[/URL] And then at around 2020, they'll launch [t]http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/e/eb/Chinese_large_orbital_station.png[/t]

I hope China starts to compete with USA and we get a space race!

China knows their space-tech. I'm impressed.

[QUOTE=RentAhobO;41170618]I hope China starts to compete with USA and we get a space race![/QUOTE] More likely USA'll go "Hey, they Chineese can take it from here" and NASA gets cut even further.

Ground control to Mao Zedong...

NO, THIS IS PATRICK.

That chinkpads thing was funnier than it should have been

[QUOTE=glitchvid;41172988]More likely USA'll go "Hey, they Chineese can take it from here" and NASA gets cut even further.[/QUOTE] I thought their paranoia towards the Chinese would cause them to be like "oh shit we gotta get back up there before those commies do something crazy!", but the Cold War's long since passed, and Earth law dictates that no-one can build weapons in space, so the threat of a lunar nuclear silo or killer laser satellite securing China's place in the void by force is not something that's really possible, assuming China plays by the rules. On one hand, a new Cold War would be absolutely terrible, whilst on the other hand it'd poke America back into space to "show the Red Dragon who's boss" (what a military general from the 60's would say in a cheesy 80's movie about a Cold War Space Race between America and China). But the real question still stands; who will build the first Moonbase? Probably Virgin Galactic.

That's great to know. I am almost certain that China has both the resources and the will to explore space further than anyone else before.
