If I remember correctly, there was also another robot that could do EVA tasks shown at last year's Zhuhai Airshow. The shape was just had the upper body, but it had hands and could be connected to the robotic arm. Add: the paper about this taikobot: https://www.mdpi.com/2075-1702/10/10/933?continueFlag=df926b239b8857f262a908364b9dab20

Tonight's dreaming material is loaded

Tiangong TV S04E19: the crew were overhaul and maintenance of the treadmill. The electric screwdriver on Fei Junlong's hand is Xiaomi's product. It's an inexpensive and useful gadget if you don't use it as a drill.

Weeks ago, bought the Squad when it was discounting. Then only recent days I had time to play that. Nice game though but reloading a PF98 by one man and without any help from any pillar is really insane. WHAT A SUPERMAN! All my friends retired from the PLA said playing that said, "There're some flaws in the small details such as the sound of 95 rifle, but it's like working overtime online".

Recently it has been frequently necessary to travel from the city centre to the suburbs with our group and mentor. Then this station basically passes by every day. Interestingly thing is, this station seems to have turned into some kind of tourist attraction. I can see people who were taking photos (or video maybe) by jumping around, lying on the ground, doing holds and even speaking Spanish at this station.

Searched around and I think we missed a thread for Israel Space Agency It's the first launch for Israel this year and also the 48th launch for the whole world.

Have to say it looks like some kind nuclear warhead...

Speaking as someone who has grown up with dogs, I can get any dog to accept me very quickly (and 9728 is the last four digits of the chip on my Lab's scapula). But cats... they just hate me! Here's my gf's parents' cat: "Get your hands off me!"

The latest research result from Chang'e-5 samples: Beads of Lunar Glass Boost Hopes for Using the Moon’s Water "Based on an extrapolation of such findings, the research team — headed by scientists from the Chinese Academy of Sciences — estimates that glass beads in lunar soil may contain up to 270 trillion kilograms (595 trillion pounds, or 71 trillion gallons) of water."

In an emergency, some aircraft can ignore a "bit of water" on the runway. Then I found this: They paid ton of respect to the workers who build these runways. Although I doubt there is no runway in the first one

During the world's development, the demand for satellites in developing countries in the Third World is extremely buoyant. These countries may come from South America, Southeast Asia, the Middle East and Africa. Without regard to politics (although 95% of the time this is impossible) they will choose a rocket that is economic and reliable enough to launch their satellites. The one of the current services offered in CNSA is: What? You don't know how to design a satellite? No problem, here are the satellites on the shelf, see which one you like, and we'll launch it straight into orbit for you. All you have to do is pay us when the satellite is in orbit and working properly, and we give you the control of the whole satellite. This 'package' currently includes (but not limited to) known consumers in Egypt, Cambodia, Laos, Pakistan, Venezuela, Nigeria and Bolivia. If I had to, I'd be 60% confident of reaching this figure by 2030 - and of course is entire world total, not just Space X. To give an unappropriated example, the mobile phone you use in 2013 is still quite different from the one you were use in 2020. And until the 4G comes out, I can't also imagine a short video company such as TikTok making so much money!

As a rookie driver, I never dare to drive above 30km/h in a residential area. Always keep the speed around 20~25. And this "cowardice" saved me from the first possible car accident of my life today: just as I was driving cautiously through an alley, three kids suddenly burst out of a line of parked car in that alley. No one was hurt except for my voice which was a bit hoarse from cursing.

I believe this price still have space to be pushed downwards after further narrowing or even resolving the rocket wreckage drop zone issue. As mentioned in the report on the rocket wreckage parachute return system days ago, if in the future this system is maturely applied to every rocket, it could save over a billion RMB per year in launch costs.

Whenever I read news like this, it always amazes me at the staggering number of Soviet stockpiles...

Agreed, very often the truth comes out in debate.

Botanists from the CAS have discovered angiosperm fossils from the Middle Jurassic in the Qinghai, Gansu and Ningxia in north-western China The original paper: https://www.mdpi.com/2075-1729/13/3/819 "All these studies and ours converge to a consensus that angiosperms did exist in the Jurassic, far earlier than widely accepted. Such an outcome of debate is rather expected, since “No angiosperms until the Cretaceous” is a conclusion hard to defend but very easy to falsify."

Every time I saw Ares, always remains me this:

One more fun fact about the Asian Koel I just found in this morning: If you can make a similar sound like it, such as by yourself and play it by your Bluetooth speaker, then shout to this bird, it would argue with you! Why I found that is because my gf and I found the one "singing" in the tree when we went downstairs to buy breakfast this morning. And, yep, believe or not, we the two weirdos just argued with an annoying bird. Good news is the weather we have here today is non-stop thunderstorms after the noon. It shouldn't "singing" tonight until the rain stops.... probably

The payloads and part of French teams has arrived Shanghai

Me, CNSA, were already sent two rovers to the moon and one on the Mars. Although the Mars one still doesn't wake up and the first one sent to the moon was unable to walk, but both rover on the moon were all survived several lunar nights - the Yutu-2 is even the "currently operational as the longest-lived lunar rover and the first lunar rover traversing the far side of the Moon." And I still need to "steal" the "tech" from the Middle East "in one night then put it back together before morning" because it has components from US. Retarded It wouldn't be the bad news to leave this valuable opportunity to send a rover to the Moon to a team from our own universities or other research institutions.

CCTV: CASC presented their rocket booster and fairing recovery project at the 3rd Innovation and Creativity Competition hosted by the CASC. They also indicated that this recovery system, which consists of several subsystems through the use of a large parafoil, and remote control, is in the final stage of development. Teng Haishan (滕海山), deputy chief engineer at CASC's Institute 508 of the Fifth Academy, said the system could reduce the original 30-90km drop zone to a much smaller size and allow it to land in the designated area. "We've got a 'landing bed' in the landing zone. This allows the fairing to land like a mattress and is fully recoverable without damage. So, this will allow the fairing to be reused." "This technology is now relatively mature, and we already have the ability to recover the 4-ton booster, including the booster of the CZ-3B rocket, the CZ-3C rocket and the CZ-2F rocket - we can recover them all. We are now trying to be able to recover the 3.35m diameter fairing of the CZ-2C rocket, and also the 4m and 4.2m diameter fairings, which are all similar. Both this year and next, we will carry out two booster recovery systems and two more fairing recovery systems, and if there don't have any problems, the design will be finalised. " Original CCTV footage: https://www.bilibili.com/video/BV1vN411K7q6/?vd_source=6fef304b8d0c4737896e6b702ddfbfb3 (It's in Chinese but there's some footages about this system's experiment)

I know. I suggest you read this: the Third Front Project. No one would be idiotic enough to move a set of backups of their industrial system for nothing, from the eastern seaboard and northeast, which already consist of a relatively solid industrial base, to a less accessible part of this country that some of them has just completed its fight against poverty in recent years. The location of XSLC has been selected in 1970. At present no one on this planet can manage to predict what some areas will be like in 53 years later. Cold launching at sea and the construction of Wenchang Launch Site are all the preparation for relegating these launch sites to secondary role. Especially the Wenchang: fun fact, currently Wenchang Launch Site is the subsidiary launch site of XSLC.

March 23rd, 1998, J-10 the fighter jet finishes its first flight.

The next gen rocket, CZ-7 rocket family is for replacing the CZ-3 family. And there's a joke-like sound that the Zhuque-2 is some kind using LOX and methane version CZ-2 (although I doubt that: You can't say they are 'related' simply because they are of similar height and ability). Still the same words: any tech takes time to develop. Both good news and bad for those rockets which using the toxic propellants is now the time when these rockets are at their most reliable, economical, and practical, some kind "prime age" for them. From the military to the civilian sector, there is a large and urgent need for satellite launches. It makes perfect sense then to arrange reliable and economical rockets for these satellites. Not to mention how much time it takes for tech to develop, you need time even for those factory line to switch or build a new one for the new product and prove its reliability! At the time of the development of these rockets, China was not wealthy and even the army needed to engage in business activities. It's not a fair point to take the deep and leading rocket tech accumulation of the US and accuse CN of "this and that". "You Chinese can obviously do better, you don't do it, you just don't care about your people!" Such *** point is allergenic - nothing of two countries is alike in one way or another, yet they always want to compare, is something I can't ever understand. Today is the 25th anniversary of the first flight of the J-10 fighter. Here's the one of aeronautical engineers from 25 years ago:
