Know this several days late but R.I.P.

Go for another business trip. Order a take-out and it was delivered by:

174, ±2cm. I don't know why there's always a weird shift with different height measuring devices in different places - and lots of them are laser measured!

Reminds me of my dad's Dodge van again: AC disabled in the hottest summer, window "refuse" to go up during the heavy rain, smoke from an overheating water tank with my grandparents on board. Then he later changed to a Peugeot. Although French cars are designed... emmmmm... pretty characterful, he's glad he doesn't have to go to the repair shops so often.

Global Times: The launch was also the world's first unsupported land-sea general-purpose mobile platform launch and the world's first unguided thermal launch of a solid rocket from the sea. It's also the first time the domestic commercial launch entered an 800km inclined orbit. Together with the previous cold-launched CZ-11 and SD-3 at sea, China now can both cold and hot launch multiple satellites at sea. Actually, CNSA and some of the commercial companies also planning to use liquid-fuelled rockets launched at sea. One of the pretty direct ways to solve the problem of rocket wreckage drop zone have to say. And I think it's likely that these barge platforms for launches will be able to serve as the recoverable rocket landing platform at sea in the future - same barge platform with different modules.

I'm so enjoy in this layered nonet

Considering living in the car, I'd recommend considering a purely electric touring sedan if someone is in China - as the difference between gas and electricity costs in this country is pretty huge. I just don't know how the US is doing in that regard. Probably a fuel-efficient van for long-distance travelling and your "HQ", with a bicycle (or a Honda motorcycle, that thing is cheap and fuel-efficient enough) for short would save more money on that?

I just read that. And I found I missed the China Space News report about that. "The report puts forward the concept of building a space resource development system from near to far and in a distributed manner, with the development of strategic mineral resources as the goal, the utilization of extraterrestrial water and ice resources as the basis, and the Lagrange point L1/L2 between the two major celestial bodies as the node. Will gradually build the water ice resource development facilities on the Moon, near-Earth asteroids, Mars, main belt asteroids, Jovian moons, etc. Form progressively the system of Earth-Moon L1, Sun-Earth L1/L2, Sun-Mars L1/L2, Ceres, and Sun-Jupiter L1 space resource replenishment stations. To gradually form the ability to explore and develop resources throughout the solar system. ... The plan focuses on the layout of space access, transportation, resupply mining and resource processing technologies. With emphasis on breakthroughs in common key techniques such as low-cost resource return, flight-oriented space resource transportation, space resource resupply stations, extraterrestrial celestial body mining stations and space resource processing stations. The report sets out the milestones of 'exploration, extraction and utilization' and gives the preliminary road map for the development of the four phases of resource development in the entire solar system by 2035,2050, 2075 and 2100." Based on what has been going on with CNSA's program and their level of completion of the program. We can safely put ≮60% confidence in these things if they set certain milestones. My understanding of this is that it may be that some people in CNSA finally have figured out a more convincing use for the new heavy rockets other than going to Mars and building NEO power stations.

Standing on Russian’s position and the previous great deals with our Indian friends on naval equipment “cooperation”, of course. Man that deals make everyone jealous lol But bad news is, here’s a organization called Central Inspection Team… “We all think you are quite a promising lad. For the sake of your bright future can be, we strongly advised to think this twice wisely.” But seriously, there is basically all have a very strict deadline for the development of many things in China. Just like the typical Chinese logic that everyone knows - I don't care how you made it, I only care if you made it. Spend bunch of money and time but didn’t finish anything, you’d better have a reasonable excuse.

Russia terminated cooperation on the CR929 wide-body airliner Only speaking in terms of the technic and time management, a project in China where you're "doing preliminary design" in 2018, keep "doing preliminary design" in 2020, and still "doing preliminary design" in 2022, is something that would make any Chinese boss throw your everything off your desk out of the window. It's kind of a timely stop loss in a way. The apprentice was always going to leave the master's classroom, and now is the time.

The girl Zhinu(织女), and the boy Niulang(牛郎) get reunited via the bridge formed by the magpie (鹊桥) every 7 July. Now we have the girl "Chang'e(嫦娥)" on the moon, the literally magpie bridge Queqiao(鹊桥) the signal relay satellite at Earth-Moon L2 point, so it's pretty reasonable that named the manned landing module to Houyi(后羿), Chang'e's husband, famous for the myth of shooting down the nine suns in the sky. Just don't know how the people would find the name for the next-gen manned spacecraft. Probably they will name it sky(天) something.

Currently, there's a typhoon directly impacting the place where I live. The gov issued the highest typhoon warning at noon: all employers except all specialized working positions were asked to stop work. The public transport system stops operating at 7 p.m. And then we got off work 4 hours early today. On exiting the metro station, I saw that the station exit had already begun assembling anti-flooding baffles and preparing sandbags. Mr. Saola, why did you decide to come here at the freaking weekend?

CMS: We're asking the public for names for the next-gen manned spaceship and manned moon lander The crew tidied up the station. Looks like the experimental racks are already set up And it's September now - the kids in primary and secondary schools are in session. Probably there will be another Tiangong Class.

Not quite sure if that is some kind of "science news" but indeed it's a medical one: live worm found in Australian woman’s brain in world-first discovery Excuse me, I'm gonna go throw up for a while... yueeeee

Depends on who’s catering the party: if it’s something like CAS, domestic universities, and foreign academic collaborations (and if the foreign friends don’t have a need for confidentiality), you can expect something cool they will be announced. But if the party is hosted by some research unit of the military, and if the experimental program is very cutting-edge internationally, is under the sanctions embargo, and is somewhat controversial, “Friendly suggests that you’d better don’t ask”. A similar case is that slanted rectangular expandable thing on the outside of IV quadrant of CSS’s WT module. Nobody officially telling us what that thing can do exactly. And, well, don’t worry, that no less than 10m driller program that is being solicited, the results of future research on what’s inside the samples taken from the moon should going to be published. Just like those researching results about the samples drilled from 3m deep of moon by Chang’e-5. Months ago, the President of France came to visit China, as a national gift, we presented them 1g of surface sample and 0.5g of drilled sample of moon. And CNSA also presented one as national gift when Russian President visited China last year. But, to put it bluntly, extracting metals from outside the Earth and utilising them is not a pragmatic thing to do in the current context of Chinese public opinion. Both normal citizens and science research institutions. At least for this and the next five years. 3D printing buildings on the moon out of lunar soil is the “bottom line of what can be tolerated”. We have a saying: if you make your steps too big may rip your b*lls off Add: according to CNSA, they said that since the Regulations on Lunar Sample Management has been published, there’s many scientists from several countries involved in scientific research of the lunar samples taken back by Chang’e-5, including Australia, Russia, France, America, Britain, and Sweden etc.

Based on my superficial knowledge of the area, would it be hundreds or thousands of years before they became "somewhat controversial"? Hmm... Of course, if the children's "pantheon" fits perfectly into the real historical timeline.

Bought a box of milk powder from Xinjiang. The richness of the milky flavor of this milk powder went to an extreme: our office recently bought a coffee machine and then used dark-roasted coffee beans. To maximize caffeine intake, we turned the ground coffee up to the finest grind and the largest amount. After pouring powdered milk that can be used in 150ml of water into the nearly 200ml of coffee in my cup, the milky flavor of the drink is still extraordinarily strong. The last time I had milk like this was yak milk in Tibet.

It's some kind of torture!

I think this will continue. Generally speaking, Chinese tastes are such that the more coastal and southern they are, the more spicy they can’t tolerate. Since the taikonaut brigade is from the military, it's important to describe the arrangement of dishes within the PLA: they usually make 2~3 dishes that more than 95% of Chinese people can accept + local specialties from the unit's location + dishes from that place within the unit that has the largest percentage of the population. That is, for example, I have a battalion coming to Guang Dong for cross-theatre exercises from somewhere else, and most of my soldiers come from the Northeast. So in addition to the staple food - rice, and fruit at the end of the meal - I need to prepare: the dishes that most people can accept: such as hong shao rou (红烧肉), stir-fried shredded potatoes, and black pepper beef fillet; a local specialty: such as steamed fish; and a hometown special for these northeastern soldiers: braised pork with vermicelli (猪肉炖粉条). (May not be so that accurate, but roughly the menu structure is like this) Most of the taikonauts we know of at the moment are from the north and inland areas, and they are the ones who can accept more spicy food. But in the future, there will definitely be people from the coastal areas such as the recruitment in Hong Kong previously (if they really can make it lol). Their tastes will be hugely different from the previous taikonauts. If CNSA recruits some ethnic minorities in the future, as well as cooperation with other countries, they definitely have to ask people what they can eat or can't. After all, there are some religions and some ethnic groups that have taboos when it comes to some foods. You can't just send some people from somewhere middle east countries up there and let them eat fried pork, aren't you? The regular set menu will definitely exist- for those dishes that most people can accept. Some dishes will then be adapted to the astronauts' own needs and preferences.

They did. Last year if I remember correctly, it was smashed on the moon by the third stage of the CZ-3C G2 Y12 rocket which was launched the CE-5/T1 - the lunar return tech validator for CE-5.

Shenzhou-5: tiny little mooncake - 3cm×2cm×1.5cm: Because that day was the Mid-Autumn Festival, aka Festival of Mooncake. Shenzhou-6: With the food heaters on board, the crew can have hot fried rice, and freeze-dried ice cream at the end of the meal. That was a 2-man crew for 5 days and nights, so they brought 40 different foods. Shenzhou-7: For the first time, they brought pre-made stir-fry dishes, including yuxiang shredded pork, pork chops, and mushrooms, increasing the menu from 40 to 80. Because there's also China's first EVA for SZ-7, they took Chinese medicine into space for the first time as well. Due to the space environment, CNSA thought that it's easy to cause cardiovascular function and bone problems, so medical team have made some "space heart pills" for astronauts to bring up. Shenzhou-9: As a technology validation mission for the current space station, the space food menu at this point already guarantees that the recipes would not be repeated for four days. They even had milk tea. Shenzhou-10: The mission coincided with the Dragon Boat Festival in space. So, the crew had rice dumplings. Shenzhou-11: Started having many kinds of snacks and late-night meals. Shenzhou-12: The recipes would not be repeated for a week. Including beef and woad soup, quinoa, and cinnamon porridge. Shenzhou-13: Traditional recipe for Chinese New Year: dumplings, with 3 different fillings. The recipes include sauteed shrimp with water chestnut, fried rabbit with xuecai (a kind of vegetable, I can't find a proper English name for this), spicy tuna, and bread made with grated coconut. Shenzhou-14: They plant lettuce and tomatoes. And eat them in space for the first time. Shenzhou-15: Brought 70kg of fruits. Huang Weifen (黄伟芬), the chief designer of the CMS astronaut system, said that the food in the station includes three meals menus on a weekly basis. Which are arranged on the basis of the survey of the astronauts' personal tastes prior to departure. The Shenzhou-12 crew and 3 subsequent missions were invited to taste and score hundreds of specially prepared foods. The results show that most Chinese astronauts like spicy Sichuan food, sweet and sour sauces, and hot sauces. The hot sauce is usually the first to be eaten. The "most famous dishes in the station" summed up by CCTV are: yuxiang shredded pork, kung pao chicken, black pepper beef fillet, spicy lamb, chili goose, hot sour bamboo shoot, spicy dougan, etc. (The CCTV link is a news report, English unavailable) Have to say that, the food in the space station right now looks a lot like our normal regular domestic economy-class meals on civilian airlines: there's a little bit of sticky, the ingredients are quite rich in terms of color, it sounds fragrant but actually does a bit of suppressed in terms of food flavour, as well as looks will be quite filling after eating it.

I hardly remember there was a documentary film specifically about this, but there were interviews of sorts. I can look it up now. But the last time I read a book on the Shuguang program in the 1970s, CNSA researchers were looking into space food. They made more than 200 staple foods, side dishes, beverages, compressed foods, and semi-solid foods with more than 20 manufacturers responsible for civilian food production at the time. Many of them are still producing products today, including Meilin, which produces canned luncheon meat, and Shanghai Yimin Foodstuffs #1 Factory, which produces a wide range of products including ice cream and various ready-to-eat foods.

One of the CNSA's official Weibo accounts, Our Space: The rocket was launched at 12:59, and the satellite sent back the first patch of photos from Kashi, Xinjiang at 14:39 Tiangong TV S05E16: What do astronauts do after work?

If there had been a few years ago, I would have agreed with South Korea. But you see, time is change. OK, I hear the alarm. Just stop this right there. IAEA wouldn't lie because: They also don't have choices lol
