Comments on Flag waving on the Shenzhou spacewalk* Congrats. a small step but a big leap for China. * You need a lot of technologies to support the space program, esp. US and the west deny the dual use technologies. * There are military uses for sure. Better missiles… China can shoot down all the GPS satellites except theirs, so they can control Taiwan without US missile interferences. However, from the last 50 years of history, how many times China sent soldiers outside their border vs US? * China is not invited to ISS due to human right issues. There is none if you compare China 30 years ago and China today. Now they can feed their huge population, cloth them...You're influenced by the news media and politicians to bash China and establish a common enemy. There is none if you compare China 30 years ago and China today. Now they can feed their huge population, cloth them... and since when are feeding and clothing the people an achievement to brag about? any society with an average IQ of 80 could do that in 60 years time. and what's the "they" in this?? I take that you mean the government, if so, heres a new concept: it is the government's responsibility, not merit, to secure the interests of its people. if you don't get what I mean, study Japan or Germany's post-WW2 history, and you will probably understand the "normal rate of progress". I hate people comparing present with the past, it makes the society go backward, and makes you dumb(seriously, it lowers your IQ), you should learn Wen Jiabao's speech at the UN, especially the "reform" part, and pay more attention to our society, instead of 意淫 in front of your computer. Comparing past with present is more reasonable than comparing with others. China today has more common ground with the China 10 years ago than with today's USA. Of cause China is 40+ years behind Russia and USA in manned space technology but every country that wants to establish a space exploration system has to work through similar path. There's nothing wrong to feel proud of it even it's only the first step. Congratulations to ShenZhou team! "China is not invited to ISS due to human right issues." Best joke I hear today. I'm just really happy for the Chinese. And humanity. I hope we can do so well with our challenges on the planet's surface as well. -danny "I'm just really happy for the Chinese. And humanity." If humanity is going to benefit from space exploration, the flag waving needs to stop. If not we'll end up fighting the same territorial/resource wars on another planet. If humanity is going to benefit from space exploration, the flag waving needs to stop. If not we'll end up fighting the same territorial/resource wars on another planet. This is shopped. I can tell from the pixels. |
