Utah Bob #35998 Posted May 15, 2021 Share Posted May 15, 2021 The Reds are on Mars! I wonder if we have a gun on Ingenuity’s helicopter? Might need it.https://apnews.com/article/china-technology-business-science-e1c1d0679aa78a8cc79c04a4d1375322 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trailrider #896 Posted May 16, 2021 Share Posted May 16, 2021 I believe the Chinese rover landed a fair distance away from Perserverance and the helo. Although somewhat behind our accomplishments in space, the PRC's program is ambitious and if we don't get our act together, will catch up! It would be nice if we could cooperate with them, but given the current attitude toward them and ITARS limitations, I don't foresee it anytime soon. Stay well and safe, Pards!

Looking at where they were when we landed on the moon and where they are now it’s nothing short of miraculous. As far as cooperation, that’s not in their playbook. They’re all about domination.

Springfield Slim SASS #24733 Posted May 16, 2021 Share Posted May 16, 2021 I'm not sure how miraculous it is. It has been more than 50 years since we landed on the moon, lots of time for them to catch up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck Steak Posted May 16, 2021 Share Posted May 16, 2021 Its not that they are all that good at industrial espionage - its all of the self serving traitors that keep selling their countrymen out to Red China for an easy buck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe between the Chiang-e5, Tiangong space station and now this Mars rover, Congress and NASA might quit d... er, messing around, cancel the SLS/Orion fiasco and give funding to SpaceX (and Blue Origin and Dyanetics, if they can show they can actually build something), and get our astronauts on the Moon before they have to compete with taikonauts for base space at Shackleton crater. In 50 years we should have had human bases on the Moon and Mars already! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
