China Wants to Build the First Power Station in Space

Bloomberg) -- China’s space ambitions are shifting into a higher orbit.

Following its successful and world-beating trip to the far side of the moon, China is preparing to build a solar power station in space, as the world’s No. 2 economy strives to burnish its superpower credentials. With an $8 billion annual budget for its space program, second only to the U.S., China is seeking to compete with its rival for economic, military and technological dominance.

Scientists have already started construction of an experimental base in the western Chinese city Chongqing. Initially, they plan to develop a smaller power station in the stratosphere between 2021 and 2025, a 1 megawatt-level solar facility in space by 2030, and eventually larger generators, according to the state-backed Science and Technology Daily.

Here’s what China’s been doing in space:
Moon Exploration
Green Shoots
More Missions
Space Station
Private Rockets
GPS Challenger
Space Junk

While USA is looking to build a wall for $15 billion, China is going to build humanity’s first Space Power Station!

USA needs to catch up a little. A wall? Lmao! China already did that thousands of years ago! China is now aiming for the space and the universe! USA can waste their billions on a concrete wall if they like. Bwhahaa

But you have to admit that it is more cool and prestigeous to build a space power station than to build a wall along the border?

Trump has the Space Force!

...and offered unlimited funds to NASA if they could send humans to Mars during his term (they said they could not)

(they said they could not)

Bad call. Nasa should have said it could. Take advantage of post truth. Why not?

”Nasa should have said it could.”

I agree. And then tell Trump that he should have the honor to be the first human on Mars.
