China launched its largest-ever rocket this week: The Long March-5 Y3 rocket took off from the Wenchang Space Launch Center in south China’s Hainan Province, carrying a Shijian-20 satellite. The launch took place at 8:45 p.m. Beijing time on Friday night, as reported by China’s state news agency Xinhua. Just over half an hour later, the satellite achieved its planned orbit and the China National Space Administration (CNSA) declared the mission a success.
The rocket stands at 57 meters (187 feet) tall, and is 5 meters in diameter around its core stage, with four boosters each of which is 3.35 meters in diameter. This makes the Long March-5 the largest Chinese carrier rocket to date, with a total weight of 870 tonnes and producing thrust of over 1000 tonnes at takeoff.
he two-stage rocket can carry a payload of up to 25 tonnes into low Earth orbit. Alternatively, for more distant launches it can carry 14 tonnes into geostationary transfer orbit, which is an elliptical orbit that is used to reach the geosynchronous orbit which holds most satellites. Looking ahead to potential missions to the Moon and Mars, the rocket is also designed to carry up to eight tonnes into Earth-Moon transfer orbit, or up to five tones into Earth-Mars transfer orbit.

“Ya like rockets?”
Good choice on picture, without Clinton’s treasonous transfers of technology the Chinese would still be blowing stuff up on the launch pad.
Bill sickens me as much as the wun.
Slick Willy was bad enough, especially sandwiched between Bush League Republicans working to make America into North Mexico, but they really went over the top with the Kenyan from Indonesia.
Pushing Russia into an economic & military alliance with China is suicidal, but that’s what the NeoCons/NeoLibs have done. Including idiots Cruz, Rubio & Graham, plus many others.
How large was the Donation to the Clinton Foundation for slipping the Chinese Rocket Tech ?
“Brill Crinton...you say you show rus how rocket go in air? No go boom on raunch pad anymore? Money for Crinton Froundation you want? Okray, we send soon.”
*ping*
Yes, Billy-boy transferred duel technology sales to the Commerce Dept. from the State Dept. Secretary of Commerce Ron Brown was ready to expose such, but died in an airplane crash. Interestingly, a military doctor or medic found a perfect round hole is head during the autopsy and stated such. She was never heard from again. This was the Riady/Chung bundling campaign donations scandal that never got traction while everybody knew it.
Bill Clinton, Loral, and Hughes are the reason that China has working ICBM's targeted at America. Yet, Trump gets crap for putting America first.
Is that bigger than the famous Chinese Long Dong?
China is doing with space & the moon the same as they did with Pacific Atolls:
“This is research! This is science stuff for all mankind..! These are prudent measures..!”
And then verrrry incrementally, all is later unmasked as measures in a grand scheme to hijack something unclaimed for China.
They have observed our robust US Navy and have elected to skip over all that and build most of their “navy”....
IN OUTER SPACE.
pity it did not blow on ignition.
Hey! John Glenn got to ride the SST as a reward for blocking Fred Thompson from investigating the Clinton/DNC/China connection.
Bill: “ The bid is now one million dollars. Do I hear two?”
caption: “ I can have Ron approve Loral to transfer their guidance tech for....say...100 million dollars.”
I remember McStain’s actions well.
