Father of American Rocketry

The Chinese have just sent two astronauts to their space station for a 30 day experiment. Everyone is taking this event as a non event. No one stop to think how the rocket will fly when it is slotted to fly. The Chinese rockets just fly every time they were launched. It is a non event, yes, it is taken for granted that all Chinese rockets will fly as expected.

The North Koreans have been trying to master this craft and have quite a number of successes. But not every North Korean rocket flies as expected. Quite a number would not make it. The South Koreans are still unable to send a rocket flying to space. The Japanese are more successful but still have no confidence to send their astronauts up in their own rockets.

The Indians too is advancing in this field, launching satellites and would soon be sending their astronauts to space. The Russians are still ahead, steadily sending their astronauts to their space station when needed.

Where are the Americans? Never heard of the NASA sending their astronauts to their space station anymore. The last heard, they hitched a ride on a Russian rocket. What happened to the American space programme? Shelved? Mothballed?

Yes, the Americans have shelved their space programme for the time being but not giving up.  The American space programme budget is US40b compares to the Chinese US$13b.  But they are unable to fly their rockets for the time being. The last few they launched flew for a few minutes and went boomed, killing all the astronauts in them. The Americans did not seem to have confidence in their rockets any more.

Ever since they exchanged the Father of American Rocketry for a few American prisoners in China in the 1950s, they were unable to improve on their rocket technology.  The rocket technology that works is in China, was brought to China inside the head of America’s Father of Rocketry, Qian Xueshen.  The Americans would have to find another scientist to help them build rockets that can fly and not go kaboomed on launched. Launching rockets safely into space is now second nature to the Chinese space programme while the Americans still did not have a clue how to get this right.

Qian Xueshen is also the Father of China’s rocketry and space programme. He made it all happened, built a strong foundation for China to take the leap forward in space technology and exploration.

It is nice to note that China is oso in the space game.

I heard not so long ago, that a leader claimed that their country
had landed a rocket on the SUN!

Hahaha.........

For all their strengths in other areas, China is weak in air power. They cannot design and build fighter jets or even commercial airplanes as good as the Americans or Europeans.

That's why Hsien Loong did not buy any fighter jets from China, even though it may be much cheaper. Trains yes, but not things that carry humans and can fly.

Airlines also do not have made in China jetliners, do they?

Qian caught my attention when my father talked about China s nuclear bombs. Qian was behind the project. Qian died at 98 lived a fully valuable life for Chinese.

Readers may not know what happened in sky this morning around 3am. The china spacemen was in sky outer space to join the space ship to Tienkong @2 shot to space earlier. The joint was sealed in outer space. This is an achievement for someone like me who studied abit of physics. Its precision precision and precision.

China was not allowed to join the US space lab when US Russia German Japan etc shared to build the space station.

That ended up China is being forced to build it own space lab Tienkong fully on its own and funded by its own. It is a great lapse for China when RB brought back Qian in memory.

Without Qian to blast off the first atomic bomb, US would have invaded China long long time ago. US is still eying at South China Sea territories. Hillary said US was the country that liberated Scs, and NOT China. The show is never end between hawks like Hillary and her company. Without scientists like Qian, Chinese people will be sorry, like Singaporeans. The latter invented nothing, not even nuclear energy.
China now can have nuclear energy engine like a boat floating at Scs. Yet Singapore chooses to cut off from the nearby sources of science and tec to hold the legs of hawks who want war but only wanting the Asians to do the warriors jobs while they sell weapons to make the money to tie Singapore down with lashes of debts. Qian is supper chinese.

Because ISD have not yet ask Veritas to go lim kopi with them, so I think it is still not that bad. Veritas even have his own blog, you know, so ISD sure must have known him/her.

That's perhaps why RB can (or dare) to also tolerate Veritas a bit lah.

Anonymous said...

@9,27, the reason why ISD never go after veritas is because this site is not very well visited unlike TOC, TRE and other more popular sites. Veritas' blog has even worse hit rates than this site. I can assure you if TRE and the rest were to allow veritas type posts, ISD would come down to get the admin lim kopi in no time. But veritas shouldn't try his luck. It may run out.

I am willing to martyr for exposing hindus pedophille devdasi theology and let people call me racist.

Chua Chin Leng aka redbean said...

Qian Xueshen was a rocket man. The A bomb was headed by another Qian. In the early stages when the A bomb project was having difficulties in detonating, Qian Xueshen got his good friend, one Yulai, could not remember his full name, to help to trigger the bomb.

His friend, who left America about the same time as him, initially did not want to do it fearing the destructive nature of the bomb. Qian finally convinced him that having a bomb and not using it was different from not having a bomb. That statement convinced his friend and changed the destiny of the Chinese people.

Without the bomb, China would have been invaded and condemned by the Americans many times over. The Americans were contemplating to invade China many times and wanting to nuke China. The bomb saved China from the Americans. Iran and North Korea needed their own bombs to keep the trigger happy Americans from nuking them for the same reason.

Uncle RB, you did the right thing , respect each other views is utmost importance here, we can agree to disagree but attacking others is a no no .

Veritas said...

People perceived my views extreme because our government is telling everyone Chinese is racist and have not informed the truth of Malay state (not fringe) terror sponsorship in SULU, MILF, PULO...etc

You can find this in serious papers.

Unknown said...

The problem with state sponsoring of terrorism is that the terrorism will come back and bite them. They are stupid if they think that they will be able to control it.

Why does this happen ? Its because in any ideological movement the best way for new comers to gain power is to be more extreme then the mainstream. Hence, Isis will say that al nusra is not islamic enough and that Isis are the real defenders of islam. This sort of rightward spiraling will eventually cause the most extreme islamists taking power.

Malaysia now knows that they have been outflanked by Isis and they are cracking down on Isis.

Veritas said...

The problem of Malay racism is it is base on lies and Malay buying it see bloodshed. Malay racism also hide malay inconvenient fact.

For example, Southern Thailand malay in Yala, Pattani and Narathiwat believe the lies of Malaysian Malay and think they are victim, who grievances and only be reddress my killing thai teachers.

They are now miserable.

The other side in Thai Saturn, are Malay as well.

Saturn Malay dont buy Malaysian malay propaganda and they prosper.

Malay racist cannot explain why Thai target Yala, Pattani and Narathiwat while treat Saturn nicely.

Malaysia is there to stir trouble and accerbate contradiction hoping for more bloodshed in order to put a case of Malay and Muslims are discriminated, not just Thailand but philippines and a particular red dot.



Unknown said...

Malaysia has an incoherent ideology i mix of Islamism and malay nationlism. They will let in Muslim migrants because of islam, even though the migrants will under cut the wages of Malays. And the Muslim migrants will marry Malay women, leaving many malay men without any wives.

In the long run leading to the genocide of the malay race. But because of islam somehow its ok. All while making the Chinese a threat.

Veritas said...

I was on some forum in discussion with Indon. Despite being Muslims, Malaysia is being despise by Indon. The situation that Malaysia is always able to "pre-empt" terror plot in malaysia while disproportional of Indon and Philippines terror involve Malay, irritate many in Indon.

And Malay nationalism is in my opinion a white man tool against SE ASian Chinese and to control Thai states.

For example, PULO commit the most terror during the very pro-china thaksin time.

When the more pro USA faction in Thailand seize power, PULO cool down.

Be assured when Thaksin gang ascend, malay suicide kid will reappear.

The Singapore state downplaying of Malay racism and putting down Chinese right/ethnic orientation suits white man interest.

The west are big sponsors of the bersih movement which is against UMNO. The elites in the west are probably against any sort of ethnic nationalism based on blood and soil. The current ideology of the west is liberalism. Western NGOS spread liberal ideas here and in Malaysia.

I actually like Malay nationalism because it will cause a racial consiousness of our people.

Tiok. I also read a lot in the news about it then.

Actually thaksin is a Thai Chinese. He also killed drug traffickers like what Pinoy Prez Duterte is now doing.

Even ex-Pinoy Prez Aquino has Chinese blood, except that he is pro-America. That perhaps annoyed China a lot and China did not welcome him. Now Duterte is welcomed by China. I think Duterte is smarter than Aquino.

Veritas said...

The communist let Japan off the hook for good reason. CPC ascend is in reality part of work of Japanese imperial army. CPC benefited when Japan elites decided to gave them all their weapons after Japan surrender.

The 4th New Army of CPC in 1942 was a bunch of loser. She suffered massive and critical military defeat in 1942, exterminating all her leaders, like General Ye Ting and Xiang Ying. After 1945 Japan surrender, she got transformed overnight, and by 1947, defeated the KMT crack force 47th Division. Barely 5 years.

The 4th New Army was remain 3rd field army.

In contrast, the CPC field army like 2nd and 1st Army, who never benefited from Japanese support and not Key players in the CPC-KMT civil war.

Chinese politicians are no longer belonged to the generations where they value blood relations. Duterte claimed his grand father in law has chinese blood in interview to claim closer relation for his Beijing visit starting officially tomorrow. This has nothing to influence the Chinese there. The son of the old man in little dot is felt the same. The chinese only value whether Duterte and the son will further damage their ownership in territories. Duterte wants to borrow money. The Chinese will ask how much. The chinese was nice to Aquino after he became president because his mother was close to China leadership. The son got good deals then switched to US side to start the Tribunal.
The little dot son supported the "strong and powerful" Judgment was more difficult to turn around because, China considered the Tribunal illegal, wrong application of laws on ownership of sovereignty which Ocean Laws cannot apply etc. In other words, the intention was to damage China s interest and reputation.

The problem is world wide, not confined to China s inner population. This is an indication: a new HK Legco mp at swelling ceremony called China as Cheenah and read Republic as Re fucking. The protest to get rid of this young mp came from overseas Chinese, besides HK s own population. The reason was: the legco mp was against chinese race s interest.

So Chinese race overseas also see China s interest and sovereignty as interest concerned them in overseas. It is reflected on re actions on this HK mp s belittling words against Republic of China (vs refucking of Cheenah). Therefore, little dot s stand on Scs has far fetch effects.

On the other hand. East Timor started similar Tribunal against Australia on sea disput. Australia put statement that it will not recognize the judgment of this tribunal. But when Australia and little dot pm met for signing of the USD1.75billions training facilities at queensland, both said china should follow the tribunal judgment of Philippines. That again is an question in minds of China s chinese, and the chinese overseas. What s the difference?

@1.19

This is a very good post. The politicians will always put their interest over the interest of their people. China went down the wrong path when it choose communism. National socialist ideas of the KMT would have been much better for our people both in china and overseas.

But then again national socialist ideals tend to get lost if a country adopts democracy as is seen in Taiwan.

I think Singapore is quite capable when it comes to having a space exploration programme. We have money, brain, and good government to have a space industry of our own. I am rather intrigued why we do not start a space programme. Singapore government should seriously consider this. We want to be first in everything, so why not first space exploration country in SE Asia?
