Looks like that US$600 million+/year is being put to good use already lmao

This is straight up Obama-era paranoia about the Chinese space program.

Lmao look at this, apparently lib "democracies" are soooo free and transparent

[-] Rojo27@hexbear.net 30 points 1 week ago

Hmm, yes. I'm sure Western corporations definitely do not behave in the same way as is being described here.

you heard it here first folks. western 'democracies' are holding corporations accountable, and doesnt let them do us harm.

[-] SadArtemis@hexbear.net 8 points 1 week ago

Honestly even if I go down with the ship (and it would of course always be better if the west simply decided to act with the most basic, minimal human decency- or even sensibility) it'll be beautiful seeing all the smug libs and freeaboos get theirs. And I expect they will, because they'll force the rest of the world to ensure it.

blob-sleep Wake me up when Spacex fails and the stranded Boeing crew needs to come back with China.

[-] SadArtemis@hexbear.net 9 points 1 week ago

China should just leave them in space, or charge an exorbitant amount from the US for the rescue. But they won't, because they are decent humans even when the west has done similar, will always do similar and infinitely worse, countless times, to China and the rest of the world.

Even that picture looks like it's some lazy-ass chud-feeding treat printer product.

Catching a photo like that IRL would be worth a stack of pulitzers, which is how you know it's bullshit.

But it does scream insecurity. Not long ago, it was haram to even think about other countries' space programs. Now we get to pretend Chinese rockets are so ubiquitous as to be falling on our collective heads.

Well, thanks for saving me a click. I assumed from the thumbnail that it was a video about how they let their used boosters fall to the ground, near populated areas

[-] Mardoniush@hexbear.net 9 points 1 week ago

Remember when Musk made le epic bacon "How not to land an orbital rocket booster" with 5 min of his rockets exploding and everyone was like "fail fast! Agile! Disruptive innovation!"

" :smuglord: you just don't understand his 26D logic. Those rockets failing are perfect data to make the rockets a bazinga-times better"

[-] bortsampson@hexbear.net 8 points 1 week ago

Gatekeeping bullshit. US AFBs are far worse polluters than any Chinese launch site. And those are fucking everywhere.

[-] SoJB@lemmy.ml 5 points 1 week ago

Would you like to know more?

Look up “red hill fuel leak” for fun US military shenanigans!
