the chinese competition is the best thing that happened to american spaceflight in the last few years. we need a kick in the butt, and we’re getting one
Sadly the Chinese private space industry still is miles off SpaceX and their public space programme is while certainly competent AFAIK in many moral ways not much different from SpaceX even ignoring the CCP’s issues.
Like I know Long March 5B’s issue was solved but the fact that they acted like it didn’t need solving is damning
That being said, the accomplishments by CNSA are great. Wolf Amendment needs to be removed yesterday. And Tiangong is going to be a staple for years to come.
I just hope that my colonisers aren’t the next country to make it onto the lunar surface cuz fuck the XiCP
