The ISS is dying. Its lifespan has been extended repeatedly but material fatigue can't be repaired. Modules like Zvezda are almost 30 years old.Russia is not in the economic situation to contribute a core for a new ISS. The Americans are diplomatically retarded, and are planning private, for profit, non-modular stations. Meanwhile Tiangong-3 is modular, designed for expansion, and with JAXA, ESA and soon Roscosmos signing cooperation agreements, it will likely become the de-facto ISS 2, unless the Americans step up.
>>536506583I was promised live porn in space
>>536507873One of the private ones is definitely going to do it.
>>536506583The ISS is fake and gay.
>>536508037Mmh what about sending a bunch of European men to meet with the Chinese women taikonauts? Fuck that would be hot.
>>536508162I've literally seen the ISS through my old telescope. For a fraction of a second because it moves fast, but you can see it.I should get a new Dobsonian and photograph it before it before it's deorbited actually.
>>536508315>Wercome to Chinese space station anon>Come croser ret me herp you with spacesuit>Wow you so tall and handsome
American iss is dead. From my information, they wanted Ukrainians to be instead of Russians on it.
>>536507873We already have UFOPORNOO
>>536508334sure you did. and what you saw was what the jew told you it was.
>>536508334What you saw isn't even as big as the ISS is supposed to be, it's just an unmanned little fuckin thing zipping along the firmament.
>>536508584>>536508647Leave this illiterate babble out of my thread, please.
>>536506583Amerimutt bugmen are too butthurt to admit their are snivelling lying stealing frauds. Amerimutt culture is all about face value. They havent been doing any moon research or expansion on the ISS for decades and suddenly when China does it they pretend Amerimutts are more interested in science than scamming like Jews
>>536506583The Democratic People Republic of the United States of America is $39.2 trillion in debt, and literally unable to make enough money to go out of debt. The US isnt doing anything except making sure the pedo elite survive. And the pedo elite dont want to live in a modular space station, they want lavish bunkers.
>Chinese International Space StationThe gore video will be absolute cinema.
>>536506583chinese are sending pakis to space because they ate all their dogs
>>536509695I think it's funny how Indian sirs got so angry that Pakistani sirs will be allowed, that they refused to join Tiangong and told ISRO to make their own Space Bharat Station
>>536506583Reminder: Ruski are now chinks vassals.Shut modules from ruski are shit be ause the ruski want a chinese station primacy to make pooh happy and keep buying their oil.Therefore, Ruski opinion is invalid and you should laugh at them for having put themselves in this situation for an L war.
>>536506583FUCK CHINA I WANT TO SEE A GREEK SOLAR SYSTEM
>>536510328We already got the planet names, we're good.
>>536508754What dobsonian are you going to get? I am thinking of getting one.
>>536510473>We already got the planet names, we're good.lolwutYou've got Uranus. All the rest are Roman names
>>536506583>Implicationsthat russia is a wet tissue paper tiger so the symbol of peace and cooperation between "superpowers" isn't needed anymore and the world has fractured again
>>536510638I've been seriously considering getting a 16 inch StellaLyra for an incredibly good price, but it would be huge and impossible to move without getting my van. Or a 10 inch retractable Levenhuk for the same price, that I can actually fit in my car trunk.But I'd need new eyepieces for either since I only have F/6 ones, unless I get a cucked 8 inch, and I'm not doing that.
>>536510922So why aren't the Americans cooperating with the new superpower on the block?>>536510660They are the same.
>>536506583You're behind. NASA told the space companies that private space stations aren't feasible, and to focus on other things
>>536506583>Russia is not in the economic situation to contribute a core for a new ISS.They are going to build a new one.>>536510922They have surpassed Japan.They just gave Russian citizenship to all citizens of Transnistria.
>>536514292Lunar Gateway got cancelled so it isn't like NASA has anything on the schedule, other than that lunar base meme. Maybe if some Trump dicksucker stays in power they'll revive Freedom or something.
