“China has come a long way very quickly with its space program, in the last decade alone it’s sent probes to the moon, to Mars, and now it’s in the midst of constructing its first space station,” he told Sky News. Mr Brown said America banning China from the International Space Station shows “Cold War politics on Earth have spread to space”. “In the next 18 months, it’s going to be launching at least ten more rockets in support of that space station.

I reckon China should stick to Star Trek on PlayStation & leave NASA Elon Mask & others to build the real Star Trek spacefaring capabilities at least we won’t have to duck for cover when another Chinese space station or rocket comes crashing to earth.”Crash helmets on ready”👩‍🚀🤣

China won’t be in space in a few decades. They’ll collapse like Trump. They’re narcissistic and ego driven government will fall. China Gov & Trump are identical. They’ll fall hard for their arrogance.

Well theyr now allowed on the iss so u cant blame them for taking initiative

Who chooses to live their life in such chaos, hatred and destruction?
