China is expanding their methods. America should never have allowed the fake allies of theirs to violate human rights and influence your own country in the dishonesty we engage in.

Selfish dishonest politicians and agencies ensure that other nations move ahead while we decline.


The U.S. Space Force this week detected a Chinese reusable spaceplane releasing an object in orbit, officials revealed Friday.

China launched its experimental reusable rocket on Aug. 4 and kept it in orbit for 90 days. U.S. officials revealed that space tracking data identified a second object in a similar orbit to the Chinese craft — the nature of which remains unknown.

The U.S. Space Force’s 18th Space Defense Squadron determined the object is likely in "very close" proximity to the Chinese craft at a distance of less than 200 meters, according to Orbital Focus. The object may have separated out in the week prior to its detection on Monday.


Additionally, the Chinese released no information or statement on the mission since its initial launch, Space News reported. How long the vessel will remain in orbit is also unknown.

No problem so long as their crap stays over their country. If any of their crap drifts our way, shoot it down.
 
Everything in low earth orbit circles the earth every 90 minutes or so. The concept of national airspace ends at the edge of the atmosphere.

You never heard of a geostationary satellite? What if what China released is a spy satellite or some sort of EMP weapon? You just going to let it cruise into position over us? No matter what it's altitude or orbit, it can be made to track well away from the continental USA. The chinese have already flubbed once up there several years ago launching a missile striking a satellite destroying it thus polluting the entire layer of space with dangerous debris.

China is a far greater threat than Russia now and where our security ends, so do China's rights.

How far up is a geostationary satellite normally positioned?

This "object" is not that high!

Space is neutral territory. Everyone that is capable has a spy satellite watching their adversaries. We probably have at least a dozen watching Asia alone. All that has nothing to do with the story though. It sounds like they are experimenting with their version of the space shuttle like we were doing in the eighties. I see no danger of China developing something we have not already had for years.
 
Are we talking about being so radioactive to humans or unmanned satellites?

It is actually closer to 22,2356 miles.
Humans. The Apollo astronauts were the first to fly through the Van Allen belts and received a fairly high dose despite having only a few days cumulative exposure. All eventually showed genetic damage.

I was just giving you an opportunity to lie. The dose was very low. True to form, ,you did not disappoint.

"Apollo Astronauts going through the Van Allen Belts received a very low and non-harmful dose of radiation."

Seeing as how I depend on memory much more than Wikipedia I'm bound to get some things wrong but why would I lie? There is something bad wrong with you.
 
Oh no! China may soon be only twenty years behind America in spaceflight tech.



The Clinton's gave China everything they needed to catch up to us.

You really should pay more attention, you really come across as an idiot.
