What the gently caress is this poo poo about claiming to have the "Longest" orbital mission. I am pretty sure the Russian had them beat decades ago, then there are the folks up on ISS. Who fact checked this?!

https://www.hongkongfp.com/2016/11/18/chinese-astronauts-return-earth-longest-ever-orbital-mission/

quote:

China‘s Shenzhou-11 spacecraft returned to earth Friday, bringing home two astronauts from the rising power’s longest-ever orbital mission in a milestone for its vaulting ambitions.

China‘s state broadcaster CCTV showed the return capsule’s separation from the Tiangong-2 space lab 393 kilometres (244 miles) above the earth, and its descent through the atmosphere to its landing on the grassland of Inner Mongolia.

After it landed, ground personnel rushed to plant two flapping red flags beside the capsule while observers applauded in China‘s mission control. CCTV did not show the men emerging, but said they had been taken to a space centre by helicopter, and the official Xinhua news agency said they were in good health.

The manned space programme’s commander in chief Zhang Youxia announced that the mission was a “complete success”.

Jing Haipeng and Chen Dong spent the 33-day mission orbiting the earth carrying out experiments including cultivating silkworms, growing lettuce, and testing brain activity. The Tiangong-2 space lab, launched in September, is also running experiments on growing rice and thale cress.

Beijing is pouring billions into its space programme in a bid to catch up with the US and Europe. It announced in April that it aims to send a spacecraft “around 2020” to orbit Mars, then land and deploy a rover to explore the Red Planet’s surface.

In their last entry in a space diary published by the official Xinhua news agency, the astronauts wrote that they kept fit in space by doing somersaults and zero-gravity tai chi.


“At the end of a busy day, we have some free time before going to bed,” they wrote. “We take selfies to have some personal record of this unforgettable journey, or just go to the window and quietly stare at that beautiful blue planet called Earth.”

Beijing sees the military-run programme as a symbol of China‘s progress and a marker of its rising global stature.
astronauts return

The nation’s first lunar rover was launched in late 2013, and while it was beset by mechanical troubles it far outlived its expected lifespan, finally shutting down only last month.

But so far China has largely replicated activities that the US and Soviet Union pioneered decades ago. It intends to set up its own manned space station by 2022, and eventually put one of its citizens on the surface of the moon.

In an interview earlier this week, Jing told Xinhua that “even in the wilderness of space” the astronauts could “always feel the love from our motherland”

Yes. Also lol somersaults and tai chi. Those are going to be real useful to prevent bone loss in microgravity guys. :thumbsup:

I'm sure that's why they were so healthy they were clearly able to walk out of the capsule under their own power.

Like okay tai chi is your voodoo wizard poo poo so that's one dumb thing but really what the gently caress do they think a somersault is going to do in space? You can literally somersault forever you're in free fall. If they ever actually do build a space station space TCM is going to kill them all.

The more countries doing space stuff the better, I genuinely wish the Chinese program well but they aren't getting their poo poo together at all. They keep announcing grand plans but their progress is glacial. They made a big deal about their first crewed mission a long rear end time ago and have hardly launched any since. They've been at it for a good 15 years at least and have barely done what NASA or the Soviets did in two or three. For all their talk about it as a prestige project they really don't seem to be putting any effort into the program.

Apparently the reason why China's smog isn't lethal is because China is so polluted that the smog neutralizes itself.

quote:

Similar things are happening in China's most polluted cities right now. The reason there hasn't been an incident like London's "killer fog" is down to chemical happenstance: China uses a lot of fertiliser and that, combined with the heavy road traffic, results in high levels of ammonia, which neutralises the particles. "The right chemical processes have to interplay for the deadly haze to occur in China," explained Zhang. "While the London fog was highly acidic, contemporary Chinese haze is basically neutral."

I have a Dyson ball vacuum cleaner where part of side of the ball wheel broke off. Its cool, under warranty. I pack it up, ship it back with a courier, they say they will ship it back the same week. Get it back 4 days later, put inside a larger box, unchanged. I really don't know what happened with the vacuum the past 4 days.

Gabe from the The Office follows his Asian fetish to Asia, but can't get into Japan so he takes his Japanese-sampled Vaporwave with him to China to get duped into marrying a normal Chinese girl who was able to convince him he couldn't get pussy unless he blew his load of money on her for a house and car.

"Don't let me put you off from buying a house in China,.." - Yeah, because smart people would never consider anything that loving stupid.

"I got lot of warning from my Chinese friends to not discuss the housing crisis... apparently it's a very sensitive topic." - LOL at this mindset. "Well, it triggers Chinese to talk about something serious, so I won't tell all the non-Chinese people about this very real problem in China. See ya!!"

I hate this dude.

Directly tell them I am not interested in getting married. Say "maybe a girlfriend," even though it's usually not true. Maybe it's my karma or something, but I never have to pay for anything and I always get gifts and free stuff and meals. People are just like "I bought this for you." I really don't understand how it is so common that guys arrive here and shack up and marry the first girl that talks to them, regardless of how she looks or what she expects (usually a baby immediately and all the rest of their money and life). Like, it's crazy to me that these guys can just quickly agree to some of these insane demands and think it's just a cultural difference and they sign their lives away without even considering other possibilities.

I am not watching it again, but I think the video said Huizhou, which is a small city north of Shenzhen. I used to hang with a girl that lived there and rode the bus 1-2 hours each way per day for her job in Shenzhen. A lot of people that work in SZ bought a house in Huizhou or Dongguan because they are connected and easy to drive, but cheap housing and full of factories and rednecks and so kinda suck for anything except cheap prices and paying other people low wages.

Also be straight up honest: I'm not buying you poo poo. Some girls might scoff and walk off but it's their loss. Honestly this is not some cultural voodoo magic to figure out.

If the relationship is based on material exchange then you might as well just pay for a loving hooker.

It's not hard dating or being with better human beings instead of garbage people.

I might sympathize with some because they are just trying to escape poverty and whatever situation but that doesn't mean you have to be their mark
