China's manned spacecraft launch

[Guest Tony n Terrific]

In many ways China had it dark ages from 1800 to 2000. They are returning now and becoming once again the player to have on your side.

In a few years China will be way ahead of us. Maybe they are already. My wife says, America is in the dark ages and China has better technology.

Well lets don't leave the United States out yet. Comming soon to our local launch pads.

This little boy, on the left, will put it in orbit for the Space Station crew change and resupply. Basically one shuttle booster rocket.

The big boy on the right will take her to the moon. Shuttle fuel tank and booster rockets with new engines strapped to the butt of the tank.

At the present moment our thinking is much like 1979 when Carter Administration dubbed our mentality as Malaise. We are seeing our banks and major investment companies in turmoil, The Big Three on the skids, We are bogged down in a war that should never have happened, We are seeing greed in America that is on its zenith, Our leadership in disaray. China is on the upswing economy wise. Americans love a winner. We have not had too much to cheer about for the last 6 years.

China is a long way off from US aeronautics and space exploration. The US leads on the technology front on nearly every avenue.

"The BBC reports that China will launch its third manned space mission in late September, according to state-run news agency Xinhua. The Shenzhou VII flight will feature China's first-ever space walk, which will be broadcast live with cameras inside and outside the spacecraft. For the spacewalk, two crew members will go into the spacecraft's vacuum module. One yuhangyuan (astronaut) will carry out the spacewalk; the other is there to monitor the activity and assist in case of an emergency. Two types of spacesuits ¡ª one made in China, the other from Russia ¡ª will be carried up on the flight. It is unclear why China has opted for two different types of spacesuit. Spaceflight analyst Dr Morris Jones commented that China might want to test the suits against each other. Alternatively, he said, it might not be ready or willing to fly a mission exclusively with its own suits."

Ah, that aircraft carrier I thought I saw in Dalian that had me so concerned. Thanks to the OP for this thread. It caused me to find it. I did not know of a carrier based plane in the works then. Looks like I was right.http://images.google.com/imgres?imgurl=htt...en%26safe%3Doff

I'm not kidding. As for the specifics, you need to ask my wife. I hear about this issue on a daily basis.
