PING!......................
Yeah, but do the Muslim residents of China feel valued by their space agency? That’s what’s important.
How long has NASA been in existence, since the late 1950s? Just goes to show NASA isn’t about space anymore.
I’ll worry when the Chinese figure out how to give out Green Stamps when refueling….. 😂😂😂😂
Well, NASA has been real good at not getting much done lately.
Ban red China from American universities
The Boeing X-37 only does propaganda and never is used for anything useful - or so China would like everyone to believe. No one in the USAF would even dream of refueling US spy satellites!
Refueling satellites is a far cry from refueling an orbiting rocket.
I wonder what that little space shuttle thing we have has been doing in orbit. I would not be shocked to hear it was a little satellite gas station.
I would question the ‘no other nation has achieved’ statement.
Just not ‘public’...i.e., ‘black’
Feminists immediately condemned the male satellite for refuelling the female satellite without verbal or written consent, noting the male satellite didn’t even take it out and pay for a vegan dinner first.
A Quark could stay up for a long time collecting space junk. Marooned in orbit with the Betties. Wow!
YAWN
Space station is routinely resupplied.
Been refueling and reprovisioning the Space Station for 30 plus years now.
First? In 2007, DARPA along with Boeing, Ball Aerospace and other team members, flew the very successful Orbital Express mission in which two unmanned spacecraft conducted rendezvous and docking operations, followed by hydrazine fuel transfer (both pressure-driven and pump-driven) from Boeing’s ASTRO spacecraft to Ball’s NextSat and back again from NextSat to ASTRO.
Well, I guess my son lo longer holds the Guinness World Record for closest satellite orbit.
(Actually the mission at NASA he worked at held the record but he’s personally beat it but never called Guinness)
