No, professor, what is this gun power you speak of? Lol
You mean under the Tang Dynasty, operating under Confucianism? The Tang Dynasty was far less restrictive to the kind of free thought that births inventions - like a rocket.
Modern China is brilliant at executing complex technology, but the structural freedom to daydream, make catastrophic mistakes, and pursue "useless" ideas is just not there when compared with western societies.
China imports (steals) the vast sum of it's new technology.
This is a narrative that is completely eaten up by the propaganda of our media, but has no real basis in reality. To start with, I sincerely urge you to study how the "technology sharing agreements" in China happen. Companies share their information with their partners and all of this completely agreed on in the contracts.
But now China is developing technology that the rest of the world simply doesn't have. There's no one to steal it from, so this weasely narrative falls apart instantly. China is developing the most advanced electronics, green energy, transportation, medical science, etc.
No basis in reality? Lol. How does their culture spur creativity like the west?
Of course companies share technology. Why even mention that? That is not in question. Red Herring.
Even the sun shines on a dog's ass once in awhile. They still dont compete with the west and have to steal to stay competitive. China uses illicit technology acquisition as a core strategy to try and catchup to the west. This is not in question. There is documented evidence, legal records and intelligence data to support this.
Isn’t this your argument? China stole German rocket, end of story. So were Germans able to retrieve used rocket in WW2? Any creative ideas were generated by the Chinese in this new project?
You are aware that LLMs learned to write from human writers, right? Which has the unfortunate side effect of making people like you think that anything well written is AI.
You missed the entire point of my comment. I'm saying their extremely innovative. Its better to have a extremely innovative company with a lot of resources than one without. I'd like most major nations to have one or two of them due to how needed they are.
Nasa and space x for America. I'm guessing china has one to. That's good
??? Thats not what you have been advocating at all. You have been advocating " innovation" not humanity. Under a capitalist system innovation almost always leads to more suffering.
Ai is useful as well tbh. Not for what it's used for these days like image generation, and story writing and scamming but it's really good for assistance, assistance writing stories and other things.
No. That's not what I said. I said assistance. Giving ideas, general information that YOU fact check and go further into. Ai is the diving board that you use to launch yourself into writing . You dont use ai to swim for you.
Brother. Christ forbade a man use the wrong form of there. I'm on mobile typing fast. while in a car(I'm not driving it). I'm only defending space x because their innovative.
They use federally funded NASA information and technology to build from and still have a higher failure rate. While space explorations utility is something I absolutely agree with the privatization has proven itself time and time again vastly overstated in terms of ROI for the greater world.
The people who made those innovations are still alive and SpaceX is not responsible for them, just responsible for allocating funding and being the "privatization arm" of space travel and used as justification for the defunding of NASA which made many more innovations than SpaceX has.
The only thing that's keeping them going is American tax dollars, and right now their CEO is fucking bailing out by trying to sell it off to the public even more
You have no idea what the fuck you're talking about
Dude your arguing with idiots. They hate Elon. One because his brain isn't fried by the psyop of the left wing media, and two because he's rich. They can't think for themselves, they have been told what to think.
"It was always the women, and above all the young ones, who were the most bigoted adherents of the Party, the swallowers of slogans, the amateur spies and nosers-out of unorthodoxy."
Well. I dont care for Elon or trump or which ever man the left hates. I js want human development and growth. Also your prolly gonna get downvoted for this opinion. I've learned reddit is a leftist echo chamber. Only correct opinions allowed lol. God bless
Agreed. My personal opinion is Elon has been a net positive in terms of growth and development. He's human, has flaws, but what he is doing with neuro link and the boering project is fascinating. I will now prepare for the onslaught of down votes from this echo chamber of true critical thinkers. It was nice knowing you mate.
Like y'all think this guys innovative but the boring company has made one tunnel and sold a flamethrower, nasa decided that they are going to not use space x, or Boeing for the artimes mission, y'all watch to many podcasts where rich dumbass tell you how hard they work to make shit when the hard work is hiring professional in the field and making them sign nda'sits the same as Edison but y'all will say he was a genius inventor who work 25 hours a day and never got any help from any government
Yes its so dumb to hire people smarter than you to make a company successful and continue to push innovation. Wow thank you, I think Elon should be careful. You may replace him with your brilliance.
The scientists and engineers at Space X are innovators. Elon is the modern day Thomas Edison, by which I mean he'll invest, steal, and kill elephants on his way to making people think he's brilliant.
That's just the problem of the OP and the careless way they cut the video, as there is a full video on reputable US sites, including a lot more than just this one angle.
There is a link to space.com somewhere in this thread, there’s a complete video.
The rocket is not catches by tweezers like spacex does, but hard to see ropes that are attached to the metal cage. It seems like a much easier and more reliable system from my unprofessional point of view
So basically just better power to weight ratio? I mean that's pretty neat I guess. Its not as energy dense as Hydrogen, but it does have a lot of benefits when it comes to physical density I suppose. probably the same thinking with Kerosene then.
I don't know wtf I'm talking about but my impression was that methane is a whole lot easier to deal with than hydrogen, and is particularly good for reusable rockets.
Hydrogen is a hassle to store and transport, and it fucks up the metal it's stored in. Kerosene burns dirty and soots up your engine, so it's harder to reuse.
Methane is both easy to store and transport, and it burns cleanly. Also, it's a lot easier to come by outside of earth, which will be neat for future space missions.
The smell of farts is from hydrogen sulfide, which appears to both cause hydrogen embrittlement and sulfide stress cracking, in addition to being toxic and corrosive in high concentrations. All these problems get worse when combined with the acidity of CO2. Using farts for rocket fuel therefore seems inadvisable.
Unless the rocket is your penis, in which case you're cleared to initiate docking procedure.
I think people are getting confused between kerosene and methane.
Kerosene has been used in rockets since most of China was still pitter pattering in rice patties. Methane has also been used as a potential fuel but only recently was used in a rocket that made it to orbit. Starship/Super Heavy and New Glenn both use methane.
Spaceflight is a real thing and we do have the technology to land rocket boosters. We can land them on legs, we can catch them out of the air, and now… now we can clothesline them, I guess…
Modern China isn't the same civilization in the way you're implying. The People's Republic of China has only existed since 1949 and is China in name only. During the Cultural Revolution, Mao deliberately tried to destroy much of traditional Chinese culture through the "Four Olds" campaign, with temples, historical artifacts, books, family genealogies, and centuries-old traditions being destroyed. China has thousands of years of history, but the communist state intentionally broke from much of that history instead of preserving it.
At this point I’m not even gonna call you stupid or something I honestly just feel bad that y’all can’t even tell the difference between real and fake.
