Chinese in Spaaaaaaaaace!!!!!!!(?)

[Jacob]

China expects to complete its first orbiting space station within a decade.

The station, in low-Earth orbit, will be able to support six crew on short-term missions and three for long-term stays.

Its design consists of three capsules - a core module attached to two laboratories - with a cargo vessel to transport supplies.

The 2023 launch target was revealed at the International Astronautical Congress (IAC) in Beijing.

They'll just fuck it up.  Can't fit any tanks.

Jacob, did you just compare the Chinese to pigs? That's racist.

Vital experiments:

Will rhinoceros horn still produce erections in zero-G?

Given a sufficiently powerful telescope, can we see into the windows of American universities and defense contractors from near Earth orbit?

How does weightlessness effect the biology of a slave laborer?

Does it matter?

Can high party members be quickly and safely evacuated to their space fortress?

Can we build vast, empty space colonies no one will ever use and call it economic growth?

Is it easier to disable American satellites with lasers from a space station than it is from a ground station?

Can we accurately drop things onto dissidents' heads?

I have no idea what you're talking about. You must be projecting something of your own here...

That's a rather bizarre fetish.

Jacob, being a dirt foreigner ignorant in our ways, has never seen the Muppet Show.
