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

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.

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.

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.

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

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!"
