Can't wait until NASA has to ask China to please go do deliveries to the ISS for them.

It's actually an open question if that's even technically possible. The Chinese crewed spacecraft Shenzhou is based heavily on the Russian Soyuz, but there's very little public technical info on how much they changed the docking system.

So in the worst case, they might have to do a space walk. Doesn't seem impossible.

Doesn’t the Wolfe amendment or whatever it’s called explicitly prohibit cooperation with the Chinese space agency?

[-] Xiisadaddy@lemmygrad.ml 2 points 1 day ago

Yeah i think NASA has even been asking for exceptions to it and congress wont do it lol

Lmao the US space program is just so routinely and commonly self destructive. They keep getting rid of their only means to send crew members into space with no replacements for shits and giggles. First the space shuttle and now this nonsense.

Thin skinned man babies whose fathers hated them apparently are less emotional than women per your garden variety misogynist. This would be much more funny if we weren’t all at their mercy. That said, this could get even funnier and the day isn’t even over.

But that's their only spacecraft that actually works

This is just cover for the shame he's experiencing now that China has absolutely bodied all of his ambitions

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --
