MigBuster 2,884 Posted January 5, 2012 BBC - Might be of interest - if only speculation http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-16423881#dna-comments Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest rscsjsuso5 Posted January 5, 2012 my two cents - To me this article might be controversial as it might be a space race stand off between China and USA using tiangong 1 route. Just like Iran and USA on the straits issue of naval stand off. These days a stand off would be verbal attacking one another and that's about it. All nations in the world depend on one another for their survival and diplomacy is key to that . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
+Typhoid 231 Posted January 5, 2012 (edited) I noticed in one of the many speculative articles on this that they pointed out in their analysis that the spaceplane was in such an orbit that it had to be looking at the Chinese orbital station because otherwise it would only be useful for looking at Afghanistan. imagine that..........

JediMaster 451 Posted January 6, 2012 Of course, who cares? We have tons of other sats up there already. It's like a big news blurb: CHINA BUILDS A TANK! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
