>>512577126>Uh huh. They're just so lucky that none died during the missions.China has a modern space station that doesn't require Russian support to stay in orbit. America pissed off Russia, resulting in ROSCOSMOS pulling out of the ISS, which is why it needs to be decommissioned. NASA didn't have the expertise to do it, so they outsourced the entire thing to SpaceX.
>That would be resting if we're not advancing towards reusable crafts.A private international company's accomplishments are not America's, retard. Do you understand how quickly one pissed off non-American billionaire could move his talent to another country? Especially since his talent isn't mostly American and isn't loyal to America and has no reason to stay?
>>512577461>china wouldn't do shit against the US of the 1940sThe US of the 1940s peaked around 500k gross tons built per year. China today makes 23 Million tons per year and is no longer dependant on fossil fuel to power them. Modern China would use 1940's America as a resource colony like it uses Africa.
>>512577700>The chinks are still retarded.Their aquaducts work. America's don't. Their space station works. America's doesn't. Their commercial maglev train works and you can go ride it. America still hasn't attempted high-speed rail, let alone shinkansen or maglev. America has no prototype for hypersonic rocketry, while China manufactures it. These are all undeniable facts. Their students don't come here to learn, they already graduated college domestically and are building networks for diplomatic espionage.
>>512578544>Also look at how clean they keep that station unlike fifthly shit smelling ISS.Travel to a first world country. America is a dirty shithole. Tokyo, Moscow, and Krakow are clean. Nowhere in America is clean. Americans are fucking filthy, and that's why America can't stop its lesbians from shitting in diapers, drilling holes, and committing identity fraud even in the space program.
