China’s state rocket company unveils rendering of a Starship look-alike

Can china come up with anything on their own? Honestly, it seems like stealing American technology is the only thing they understand.

Fyp. Also, their core station module (and I assume their other module going up this summer) is heavily based on the old Saylut space stations the USSR launched back in the 70s-80s. I do believe they paid for that tech, if I recall correctly.

Just when I thought he was a good pick for Administrator.

It is federal law that the VPOTUS must be chair of the National Space Council (same as when Pence was VPOTUS). It wasn't Nelson's call.

"The National Space Council was created in the 1989 NASA Authorization Act (P.L. 100-685), which directs that it be chaired by the Vice President. "

And their orbital vehicle looks suspiciously like a Soyuz ship...

Look, the Chinese are no better than the Soviets were when it comes to stealing intellectual property.

Dang. What's the next window? I haven't checked r/spacex since yesterday.

Tomorrow should be the next window.

Ever seen Battleship?

 

[Matt2496]

Cool.

I wouldn’t get my hopes up. Just checked the weather in Boca Chica and there’s a chance of thunderstorms with 17-20 mph winds and higher gusts so it will probably be another scrub tomorrow.

No

No

Watch it and you'll understand.

SpaceX launch is counting down to about 15 minutes from now.

Hopefully it doesn't hit the 22 ton Chinese POS that they are just letting fall back to Earth uncontrolled.

StarLink launch, right?

Starlink 25 is what my XLaunch app has labeled it.

Most of it will burn up in Earths atmosphere but some pieces will most likely make it through.
