In January 2008, China was hit by an unexpected cold wave. Many roads and railways were affected by the ice storm as the southern region was generally unprepared for such natural disasters. Then a local emergency response agency (probably was Guangzhou I can't remember) contacted the force department (You can understand it as a communication and consultation department between Chinese civil and military institutions) seeking help from the troops: What they wanted was for the troops' tracked vehicles to go out on the streets and grind over the ice, so that the follow-up work could be carried out much easier. What they unexpected was the force department made a phone called to the air force because they have some airport runway clearing vehicles which mounted jet engines of decommissioned fighters.

'Golden Bauhinia', looks like Hongkong has placed an order for two satellites.

Have a date. Honestly my mind wasn’t totally on her all day, but on how this big new metro station where we interchange the different line is so that big. Have to said that the cities with little urban history really have certain advantages in underground transport planning.

Building launch pads in Djibouti? There are times when I am anxious about the 'conservative' of some organizations, but there are also times when I'm surprised by their 'boldness'. When I look at the map of Africa, I see that Djibouti is the best solution if you really have to build a rocket launch site. But the problem is, if reusable rocket is still not available, the remains of the rocket will inevitably fall into neighbouring countries such as Somalia, Ethiopia and Kenya. But if it is built in a neighbouring country with better geography, it is not as geo-safe as Djibouti. To be honest, Somalia would be a wonderful place to launch rockets, but unfortunately, you know...

The de facto world's most overcrowded, inmate controlled Bilibid prison had more than 20 cells converted into villas, striptease room with flashing lights and a professional recording studio before the Bilibid prison corruption case in the Philippines was uncovered in 2014. And this, was recorded from the studio in the prison I kinda like the melody of the song if only from an artistic point of view and without considering him as a bank robber and drug lord.

I think pretty a while about this and asked some friend. Well, the Butter Tea on the plateau really have tea leaves in there. Where I went to is the other side of Nepal - Tibet. Locally, because of decades of infrastructure, a lot of food from places outside the highlands has become quite popular in many local cities and small counties where lorry drivers stop over. Especially Sichuan cuisine, which is represented by its spiciness and high calorie content. This piece is basically most popular for the food habits of the Han Chinese culture, mixed with a bit of halal food culture from the Muslims in Xinjiang. They're using the term 'soup' to describe broth rather than tea. The first thing that comes to mind when describing broth as "tea" is the "Bak kut teh" served by the Minnan people in the southeast of China and the Chinese in Malaysia and Singapore in Southeast Asia. I asked a friend of mine from Fujian, and he said that it is a custom to call the soup made from Chinese herbs "tea". And that thing apart from the pork ribs, there are also a lot of Chinese herbs in the soup, so this broth is called tea. Add: The Mongolians are the ones who peel off the boiled beef with a knife and then pour on the separately brewed tea, then eat it together. In a sense whether it is a tea or broth I think is indeed controversial.

Actually, I think the Russians could have an emergency rescue plan like the Chinese do, where they can launch a backup manned spacecraft up within a week. And it wouldn't be complicated, it would just be a matter of assembling the back-up rocket and spacecraft in advance to near completion and putting them in the factory. And that back-up is the next rocket going to station. But, well, how about add some bulletproof plate-like thing on the key places on Soyuz? You see, it's reliable enough and I don't think would weigh much more if you just added a few plates. Just don't know will these plates affect the cooling system

CZ-2C and CZ-2D launched in same day in different launch site The mission patch this time is quite Chinese New Year feeling Via. China Space News official Weibo And:

Another trailer about Wandering Earth 2. This time is about the Space Elevator. Can't found that on Youtube but here you are: https://www.bilibili.com/video/BV1Y8411N7Gy/?vd_source=6fef304b8d0c4737896e6b702ddfbfb3 Not the first elevator on movie, and not the last one been exploded hahaha The film is based on a novel of the same name, written by the same author as the novel Three Body. The Wandering Earth novel wasn't too long but the scenes it depicted, really shocking.

And that's also the reason why those Buddhist monks can eat beef up there: low calories can kill, pretty soon.

It looks good in the test run. And in terms of probabilities, it's definitely unlikely that all nine engines on the rocket would have failed at the same time. I guess there might be problem with the somewhere fuel supply part of the rocket.

My next-door neighbour sings a forking awful song in the shower

CNSA and the People's Bank of China made two kinds of Commemorative Coins about CSS: 50 Yuan made by 3g of gold 10 Yuan made by 30g of silver via. http://www.cgccl.cn/common/pattern-detail?patternId=10001/http://www.cgccl.cn/common/pattern-detail?patternId=8003 I'm kinda like this silver one

Is that first time for 'empty' Soyuz going to ISS?

Several engines finished their test run: Institue 101, part of CASC's Sixth Academy, has completed three kinds of engines test run: https://weibo.com/?layerid=4856743631263597 YF-77's acceptance and calibration test for CZ-5's core stage in High Thrust Test Site (0:03~0:20), the engine for Next-gen Manned Rocket's third stage "ground environment torch ignition test" in Upper Stage Test Site (0:22~0:41), and an attitude control engine completed high-altitude simulation experiments.

Looks there's someone we missed But bad news is Space is Hard, really HARD

Those IL-76 reminds me some kind 'joke': in around 2015 there had a typhoon was going to hit the Shanghai directly. All airlines were either delayed or landed somewhere else nearby. But Aeroflot... they just landed on Shanghai and couple hours later took off departure three hours later. I checked and there was more than one, it was two Aeroflot planes: SU208 and SU209

Well what if I tell you the humankind in this movie was light up the Jupiter and then giving the earth a push with the shockwave of the explosion from Jupiter?

Now I know why those Brits hundred years ago still using the name of their hometown to name somewhere America (or add 'New' at most): It's cloudy like where they from!

Well, "Space Is Hard". Although is pretty weird this time

The butter tea. It has to be said that this stuff is quite calorific.

There may be a possibility that the good news is that you are eating a modified version of the flavours given to tourists, or of course that the one I went to on the other side of the Himalayas weren’t very good cooks hahaha The version I had was need to squished in my hands into a shape that I could eat on its own and dipped into their salty milk tea. A little greasy and dry for me. But the yak meat soup is very good!

Botanists find the strong evidence shows that "Tibetan barley, barley, wheat, and jujube were introduced into China before the existence of the Land Silk Road": https://bmcplantbiol.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s12870-022-04022-9 Tibetan barley isn't something I can get used to personally, but I do wonder who was the first to grow that and discover it was edible.
