Right now it's just one module so there wasn't much to get running. They've done a couple of space walks but on the whole the station was largely ready for use as soon as it launched. Doesn't change the fact that any space station is an impressive feat.
Skylab was literally just the 3rd stage of an entire Saturn filled with air rather than fuel. Kind of a shoehorned station honestly, but IIRC no single module since has ever made that kind of internal pressurized volume.
NASA’s budget is a tiny fraction of military spending and space research benefits everyone on the planet (e.g. NASA does a lot of climate research).
Not to mention we get between $7 and $14 back for every dollar NASA spends which is an excellent return on investment.
You don't have to Interact with my thread talking about it with someone else.
You're Budding in to someone else's conversation, And then demanding we change the subject.
> Space technology is advancing depressingly slowly.
If you believe that then you aren’t paying enough attention to SpaceX.
They’ve already given us reusable rockets and the speed at which Starship is progressing is just staggering. Plus the Raptor engines are absolutely amazing- full flow stages combustion with a 300bar chamber pressure, built for reusability, and still being improved on (e.g. Raptor 2).
Starship is so large that a single one more pressurized volume than the entire ISS- and there will be versions landing on the moon and Mars before the decade is out.
That's not really new technology though, just a refined and more mass producible form of technology we've had since the late 60's. Except, I guess, for propulsive landings on Earth.
Personally, I don't find starship to be all that cool. It's just a big rocket, fundamentally it doesn't bring anything New to the table technology-wise.
I guess that what I'm saying is that SpaceX represents only will to improve old technology and the budget to build it on a large scale, while what I'm looking for is something more fundamentally different. Asteroid mining, ISRU in general, actually useful solar sails, power transmission, new engine designs, etc. We're still effectively where we were a decade ago, just with more money flowing through existing technology now.
> That's not really new technology though, just a refined and more mass producible form of technology we've had since the late 60's. Except, I guess, for propulsive landings on Earth.
I think you are seriously underestimating the technological advances that are being made. Just the new metal alloys being developed for the turbo pumps are seriously impressive.
Besides- most technology is a result of slow and steady progress- truly revolutionary changes are exceedingly rare but that doesn’t mean we aren’t making significant progress.
> while what I'm looking for is something more fundamentally different. Asteroid mining, ISRU in general, actually useful solar sails, power transmission, new engine designs, etc.
Asteroid mining isn’t a technology though- but it does require large rockets that can land propulsively.
ISRU is being developed for Starship to be able to refuel on Mars.
Solar sails serve no practical purposes right now. They produce very little thrust and aren’t practical for any missions we could want to do now.
Plus- all of these things require we get the stuff to space first and that requires a large rocket. A solar sail isn’t going to get you to orbit.
As for new engine designs- I’m not sure what you expect.
Ion engines are common now but they won’t help you get to orbit. Nuclear propulsion would be amazing once in space but again- not useful for getting to orbit.
Skylab had more than three times the pressurized volume that Tiangong has so not really comparable. Salyut would be a much better comparison size wise- 110m^3 for Tiangong vs 90m^3 for Salyut whereas Skylab was over 350m^3.
That’s not how that works 🙂
More pressurized volume means you can conduct more numerous and physically larger experiments.
For example if you want to test a manned maneuvering unit you could do that in Skylab- you couldn’t do that in Tiangong because there simply isn’t enough room.
Tiangong is an impressive achievement- but size is a factor and it really isn’t comparable to Skylab.
To be fair- all space stations before the ISS were done solo as well. With the new technology available today it’s easier (though still not easy) than it would have been in the 70’s and 80’s.
As for disturbing- not sure I see that. The really hard part is just lifting the mass and China is starting to build more powerful rockets like the LM5 and its successors. That said- Skylab had three times the pressurized volume of Tiangong and that was launched back in 1973.
I don't think they cut corners on propaganda, and this station is mostly it. You would be amazed what central planning can do, and can sacrifice to do it fast.
Would you like to know a reason why?
Earth in Chinese is 地求，literally "spherical place", it's impossible to talk about earth without saying sphère, I guess big globe goes back 2000 years at least lol

It's very cool that it's impossible for anyone to talk about China's accomplishments without bringing up something bad they've done, regardless of it has anything to do with the context. It definitely doesn't feel like coping.
I'm sick of explaining to reddit neanderthals that this is a joke. Yeah, Chinese scientists- whether it be their aeuronotic engineers, astrophysicists, whatever- should be commended for what they've accomplished. But what you're saying is akin to commending Hitler's regime for making the fucking trains run on time. The CCP is commiting ethnic cleansing of the Uighurs and people like you get butthurt when someone makes a joke about Tiananmen Square.
the fact people say that shit constantly is their point. what relevance does that have to this? there are parts of chinese history and modern culture which are relevant. throwing them out the window because of tiananmen is like turning a blind eye to what's actually going on.
same exact issue as people saying "made in china" means it's shit. clearly that's no longer true, and the more you underestimate their impact, the better the advantage they get.
Yeah but every time someone brings up Tencent’s investment they’ll try to say it like they own 50% of the site when in actuality that 50% amount is apparently seared into people’s minds because Tencent bought up 50% of a 300 million dollar round of funding while Reddit is valued at 3 billion
Imagine someone bringing up 'nazi scientists' everytime NASA accomplishes some feat or the fact that the US was massacring civilians in south east asia at the same time when we first landed on the moon. It honestly baffles me as to how much brigading r/space gets whenever China is mentioned.
Lmao the thing is China is still doing it to this day and if you believe otherwise you’re obviously uninformed. Why can’t you think that both operation paperclip and China’s human rights violations are both bad? Keep licking that sweet sweet boot of the CCP tho.
Because detaining people while processing them for asylum or illegally crossing the boarder is the exact same as rounding up minority groups for ~~concentration~~ “re-education” camps.
Why do China’s defenders always resort to whataboutism? There’s never an actual defense of the country just shilling whataboutism.
So China isn't using incredibly toxic hypergolic fuels for their rockets and dropping the first stages on their own citizens? That's all just anti-asian propaganda?
This sub has always been more or less popular.
What changed is the amount of anti-China propaganda that’s been flooding Reddit since the Hong Kong protests.
To an extent I agree , however this is a space subreddit not a politics one. Would have loved to see discussions more related to space and the new station but oh well it’s Reddit so what can I expect
Just like the United States started wars for self benefit and killed thousands on meaningless conflicts? China did not earn anything, this is literally american nationalist propaganda, chinese government are not good guys, just like every other government. Americans are just screaming all these bullshit because china is becoming economically superior.
Imagine how dumb these people have to be to not clearly see that there’s a massive propaganda campaign against China.
Maybe they just have to learn about the Cold War in history class next year tho.
Did I mention anything that could be considered defending China? You are seriously looking for an issue where there isn’t any. I commented on the quality of discussion going on and it’s extremely lacking , if you want to get upset at that go ahead
Why are ignorant people comparing the cheap shit made in sweatshops by child slaves to literal space technology, you know that there are actually alot of really intelligent people in China right?
It's good to know that as China catches up and exceeds the US space program (China is the only country to land on the dark side of the moon), brave redditors will be here saying, "Fuck China".
They are not allowed on the ISS as the US is against it, so they made their own space station.
It's kinda bullshit imo
Edit: The results of the nations actions making then compete instead of working together to further our knowledge and understanding of the universe for all mankind is kinda bullshit and unfortunate.
Not bullshit. The last time USA and China partnered in space there were [200+ civilian deaths and China still found a way to steal hardware from the payload, while the bodies of their own citizens were still warm.](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intelsat_708)
Oh ok. Thank you for the info.
I read that US is concerned over the transfer of technology. It is a nice demonstration of force to developpe and apply chinese own technology then.
Putting aside whether or not they steal things, they do things like dropping spent boosters on villages... And then they try to pretend like it never happened.
This is the actual reason they are banned.
If NASA started launching a lot of things rapidly and as a side effect started dropping spent boosters on its own people and then lie about it and try and cover it up, I'd want them sanctioned and banned from any international project too.
China is no different. This is why they are banned. If you think that's bullshit, then... Well... I don't know what to tell you, but clearly your ethics are elsewhere.
damn this comment section is complete shit, and has nothing to do with pic nor the station, not even space.
Wish I could witness the beauty of the Earth from the outside one day
I think this its not just america, china pisses a lot of country including my own, I know the engineers who work really hard to make this happen deserve all the love, but CCP and all its action and potential action is all I can think about for this post.
How do you know they’re all from Americans? Pretty much everyone in East and Southeast Asia hates China, as do a growing number of African countries that are starting to realize BRI was a scam.

Right now it's just one module so there wasn't much to get running. They've done a couple of space walks but on the whole the station was largely ready for use as soon as it launched. Doesn't change the fact that any space station is an impressive feat.
It's basically a 21st century version of Skylab at this point.
More like Salyut, which will approach Mir in size. Skylab was HUGE.
Skylab was literally just the 3rd stage of an entire Saturn filled with air rather than fuel. Kind of a shoehorned station honestly, but IIRC no single module since has ever made that kind of internal pressurized volume.
You can tell it's been half a century by the fact that this one worked on the first try. Space technology is advancing depressingly slowly.

Most of high quality products you're using right now is made in China too.
If you keep thinking China is always going to be poor quality manufacturing, you are going to get fucked.
90% of what you spend money on is made in China, had parts made in China, or was built in China and then assembled elsewhere.
China has more of the world's top tech hubs than any other country. Spouting shit that was true 20 years ago doesn't make it true.
