China's space station, Tiangong: A complete guide

China's space station, Tiangong, orbits Earth at an altitude between 217 and 280 miles (340 to 450 kilometers), approximately the same orbital height as the International Space Station (ISS).  three-module Chinese space station hosts many scientific experiments.

WATCH: China's Shenzhou-18 space crew successfully return to earth

4 November 2024

The three-person crew of China's Shenzhou-18 spacecraft successfully returned to earth on Monday (November 4), following several months in low orbit.

The capsule containing the three astronauts steadily descended to earth, assisted by parachute and landed intact at the Dongfeng landing site in Inner Mongolia.

Ground crews assisted Ye Guangfu, Li Cong and Li Guangsu through the capsule's latch and onto stretchers ahead of a post-landing medical check.

During their mission to the Tiangong Space Station, Guangfu and Guangsu conducted China's longest spacewalk during the installation of anti-space-debris equipment, totalling more than 8 hours.

The crew's April launch marked more than two decades of Chinese human spaceflight.

I saw a video of a guy saying that he doesn't think Americans landed on the moon because he's been spending time with us, and we don't seem smart enough for a feat that grand. It was funny.

However, it got me thinking.

Let's say it was true. In 1969, America faked the moon landing. Do you understand how smart we'd have to be to get away with faking the moon landing for 55 years. Think about how much work that would entail constantly.

It'd be what we spend the majority of government funding on.

That one lie would change everything.

We'd have to put the kibosh on any nation even thinking they can go to the moon. We'd actually heavily implement green initiatives. Space exploration would be over. No private billionaires funding Mars habitat projects. They'd have to make Earth so wonderful to live on so that no one ever tries to get to the moon or space again.

We'd have world domination, peacefully. I'm talking countries wouldn't even know that we've usurped them and if they ever realized they wouldn't care.

We'd be living in The Village (2004).

We'd never get that great video of Buzz Aldrin punching that asshole.

How would we make nice with Russia? I guess we wouldn't, right? It'd probably just be destroyed. Same for China. Maybe we'd tell them, and they'd Truman Show their people. Maybe more of a North Korea.

They'd disappear Neil, Buzz, and Mike after the press tour. Same for the engineers and scientists who worked on Apollo 11. They would never make the press tour. It would be they died upon re-entry or they're stranded. Space would become enemy number one

What would they say is the reason no one can go to space? Would it be the radiation is too strong, an unkillable deadly bacteria, space monsters? What could they say to make space, the final frontier, terminus non grata?

Would media like Star Trek, Lost in Space, Dune, Forbidden Planet, and Rocky Horror even be allowed to be made? Or maybe they would, but they'd all have the end message be, "Space=Bad." You can't risk anyone thinking good thoughts about it.

Say goodbye to the First Amendment. American education, would it be worsened or made better. Would schools focus more on the arts less on math, science, and literacy?

Speaking of science, how would that affect what we know of space in understanding of Earth and life in it? Well, I guess about the same as we know now. We didn't need to go to space to have accurate maps, planetary mathematics and chemistry, etc. Space exploration just confirmed what we already knew.

There was a great episode from The Truth Podcast told if Apollo Lunar Module Eagle wasn't going to be able to leave the Moon's surface told from Armstrong, Aldrin, and Collins POV.

Dragon master -  a movie star at tournament

Pixel art for today based on videogame Fighting Hero for game console Nes. It is fighting. From MegaSoft. Game from 1991 year.

And this is my drawing at the same theme. Movie star of action movies are invited to make a new movie. About them – intertime competition about fighting. In a scenario it is written that it will be a ancient China, Egypt. And a space ship. As you arrived, you were attacked by some fighters. It seems, that they do not take into account, that it is only a movie. And decorations are very natural.

As soon as your helicopter landed – so you have just notice you are in an unbelievable decoration. Ancient China. Asia. Something like that. And you are under attack all the time with some ninja and kung fu fighters. Maybe, it is made for more natural camera recording. But this was not in a scenario. Effect of unexpected action. As it can be.

There was a scroll at the floor. It was a papyrus. You can read it. It is written something strange.

You are invited to a tournament, which is going every 50 years. Tournament about to a name master dragon. Go to a temple of a dragon and defeat master. Later explore sands and pyramid and defeat pharaoh. And next at the space station have a fight with alien cyborgs. And you will become a master dragon. At the space station it will be resurrection point in case of you lose. And you will be sent back to your world.

Regardez "La Chine sélectionnera des astronautes étrangers pour des missions conjointes dans l'espace" sur YouTube

l'Europe serait bien inspirée de considérer la Chine populaire comme un partenaire à part entière.

La Fédération de Russie et même la république indienne pourraient ne pas s'y tromper tout en favorisant la paix entres les nations...

Chinese scientists “create” water from lunar soil

Using the new method, one metric tonne of lunar soil will be able to produce about 51 to 76 kilograms of water, equivalent to more than a hundred 500-millileter bottles of water, or the daily drinking water consumption of 50 people, the state broadcaster said. https://www.nbcnews.com/science/space/chinese-scientists-use-lunar-soil-produce-water-rcna167951 The soil was from the 2020 expedition,…

2024: Ham Radio in China, Soon Chinese Hams in Space

I’ve talked with Chinese hams during some of my overseas postings — as 7J6CBQ in Okinawa, Japan and as 7Q7DFC in Lilongwe, Malawi — though not yet from my home station in Virginia. During my ten years working as a US diplomat in the PRC I wasn’t able to get a ham license but did follow ham radio some in the pages of the Chinese electronics/radio magazine Wuxiandian (無綫電 Wireless) which had…
