The scholz op-ed sounds about as positive as you can be towards China as a western leader without being immediately assassinated.





Like he acknowledges that preserving the stability of the communist party has legitimate roots in maintaining national security and autonomy, and that it is better for everyone to continue to trade with China

That's good and rational I wonder if they're pissed about the Nordstream poo poo.

the magnum opus of private rocket companies was coming up with an rv to service the iss after nasa gave up on rockets and had to rely on soyuz launches and nothing else for years lmao

truly groundbreaking and innovative work pushing forward the boundaries

yup they operated a helicopter on mars I believe? I'm sure they could do more manned poo poo if they hadn't been made to "embrace the free market" and give rich kids suborbital flights using tech from the 70s

the NYT article about it is subtitled

"The Mengtian module was launched into orbit and docked with the Tiangong space station, the latest step in Beijing’s effort to surpass the United States in space exploration."

lol what can I say

China absolutely would partner with others in space but the U.S. categorically bans them from any sort of collaboration. meanwhile cosmonauts get to hang out with astronauts during our proxy war with Russia

I mean the reasoning isn’t wrong though. they’re right to be afraid that collaboration with China would allow China to effectively take the lead if they objectively produce the best results, so comparisons have to be forbidden

having people up in orbit is rad but tbh the JWST is at least going to let humanity learn something new...

the sad thing is that we need to learn more about mundane stuff on earth. and a lot of the bleeding edge stuff is just tinkering with things humanity figured out in the 60s but the money will always be on big cool things

South Korea scrambles jets after detecting North Korean military flights near border amid tensions


quote:

SEOUL, Nov 4 (Reuters) - South Korea's military said it scrambled fighter jets after detecting about 180 North Korean military flights north of the two countries' border over four hours on Friday.

The North Korean aircraft flew north of the so-called tactical action line, north of the Military Demarcation Line between the two Koreas, South Korea's military said in a statement. The virtual line is used as a basis for South Korean air defence operations, a South Korean official said.

Looking professional when committing genocide is essential. This is mostly achieved by using a beret.

Olive drab colour ensures the genocider will remain hidden from his prey until it's too late for them to do anything.



This is like every time Taiwan cries about the PLAAF violating their "air defence zone" because said zone just happens to extend hundreds of miles over the mainland lol
