NASA still crazy about building spacecraft to the ISS? ISS would be no more by 2030

MELBOURNE: NASA astronauts Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams were meant to go to the International Space Station (ISS) on a roughly 10-day mission. Instead, they have been “stuck” there since June, as the reliability of their spacecraft - Boeing Starliner - has not met NASA’s strict standards for crewed flight.

After two months of testing, NASA has now made the call that Starliner will return to Earth in September without astronauts aboard.

This will enable both NASA and Boeing to monitor the craft carefully as it separates from the ISS and makes its way home. Because human life is part of the equation, the data gathered from this flight will inform required changes for Starliner to be certified for crewed flight.

As for Wilmore and Williams, they will remain aboard the ISS until February 2025, replacing two of the upcoming Crew 9 astronauts.

With the ISS only operating for another five to six years, Boeing’s role in the programme now remains unclear.  CNA

Why is NASA crazy in pushing for the building of spacecraft to the ISS? Alright, at least they are not pushing to develop spacecraft to the moon. They know they did not have the ability to do that. Jim Free, NASA's Executive Director said, space travel is a risky business, after the failure of the Boeing Starliner to bring back the two astronauts from the ISS.  Maybe this Jim Free was born after the American moon landing and did not know the Americans were visiting the moon every weekend for picnics. Either he did not know about the super feats of the Americans landing on the moon, or he did know something that the world did not know.

NASA and Boeing's goals are now more restrained and humble, just try to get their astronauts to the ISS first. But this seems to be a very difficult task to do. Boeing spent US$6b and failed miserably. The two astronauts would be stranded till next February. Hopefully the ISS does not break up or malfunction during this period or they would have to stay in space forever. The reckless Americans have already overextended the lifespan of ISS by 5 years and are pushing it further back by another 5 years for decommissioning. They are praying very hard that the valves would not leak and the material that made up the ISS would stay together by then and not break into pieces.

By 2030, if the Americans did not push the date further back, the ISS would be no more. What is the use of NASA and Boeing for developing spacecraft that have no where to go? Where would all the American astronauts be flying to?  Where would all the astronauts of American cronies fly to?

Their best hope is for the leaders in China to be stupid enough to welcome the Americans into the Tiangong Space Station. The weird thinking of Chinese leaders may really make this come true. All it needs is a few sweet words or lies from the Americans about how good the American China relations are and they would go ga ga. They would forget that they were booted out of the ISS programme, humiliated, banned and blocked from access to space technology and the ISS. 

They would even forget that the Americans are terrorists with one goal, to bring own China. And having the terrorists and their cronies in China's Tiangong Space Station is as good as inviting the saboteurs on board. Count on the Chinese to do just that. This may be the reason why NASA and Boeing are still continuing to develop spacecraft that can bring astronauts to the Tiangong Space Station, as the ISS would not be around. In the meantime NASA is trying to push everyone into the ISS in a crash programme while the ISS is still around, risking the lives of astronauts that could be stuck up there for life.

Would China do the ridiculous and the bizarre.... to allow American terrorists and their crony terrorists into the Tiangong Space Station, to blow it up? It would be so easy, cutting a wire or losing a nut would be good enough for the job.

PS. Point to note, since the fake moon landings, NASA was unable to make any progress and all it could do was to send astronauts to the ISS. Even this, NASA failed badly. So, the only 'great works' of NASA were to publish photoshop pictures of Mars and outer space that no one can prove they are real or fakes. And without anything real to show, no more funding for NASA to build another space station. Also don't have the technology if the Russians are not going to help.

China is now so far ahead in terms of space technology with moon station by 2030.

American terrorists - 'You are either with US or against us'. Who is the devil forcing countries to take sides?

 When small countries hear the veiled threat - 'You are either with US or against US', there is no need to ask who they would have to be forced to choose. This is more like a single choice question. Ever heard of that?

Now there is a choice and that is by joining BRICS. And countries are rushing to join. Yes, the USA is still using veiled threats of punishing those who would join in the de-dollarization wagon. Notice the veiled threat is directed towards the connection to de-dollarization, not about joining BRICS, which the USA cannot do anything about. After all, who is against those joining QUAD, or AUKUS or Five Eyes or Asia-NATO. The USA, EU, G7, Japan, India Australia and all the Anglo-Saxon Whites can go around forming more alliances among themselves. It is just like rearranging the tiles in a game of mahjong, or just putting the same old stuff in new packaging. It changes nothing, but perhaps only in pricing, LOL.

Russia and China are not going to succumb to the use of force or threats. The two powerhouses can survive leveraging on each other's strengths. Russia can supply China with all the cheap energy and food grains. China can supply Russia with cheap EVs and consumer products. To put it simply, they complement each other perfectly. So perfectly that they are just next-door neighbors with pipelines to deliver gas and oil without having to use crude or gas carriers that could be blockaded in times of war. Cheaper, faster and more secure.

Kamala Harris - From shrieking hyena to superstar. Courtesy of American fantasy media

 Trump said that trade wars are easy to win. There must have been so much winning that the Make America Great Again is now silent. If China had been defeated during that trade war, why is the USA so scared of Chinese manufacturing and competition? Oh, don't talk about subsidies and unfair trade practices. The USA is the master of using subsidies into an art that dwarfs what China did.

Biden gloated at the start of the Ukraine War that Ukraine, with the support of NATO will ride roughshod over Russia. Sanctions will turn the Russian ruble into rubbles and Russia will collapse under those sanctions. More than 16,000 sanctions later, Russia is doing even better than most NATO countries. The Ukraine War has in fact made Russia great again. As for Biden, I guess he cannot even remember saying that. It is no longer his baggage to carry after all. It will be someone else's problem.

So, with both successive Presidents achieving nothing that they bragged about achieving, what else is new? More gaslighting is coming from the protege of Dracula, Kamala Harris, the shrieking hyena. The MSM is hyping up her image to high heaven and downplaying Trump, forgetting that she did practically nothing as Vice President except inventing 'word salads' when faced with difficult questions. Of course, they are going all out and making sure that she follows the script they wrote for her in order to appear credible. Do not be fooled.

China could re integrate Mongolia to the mainland anytime it wishes to

 The Western anti-China camp will try to capitalize on any minor differences between Russia and China as leading to a split and leading to a collapse of co-operation between the two countries. The Western MSM and pro-Western shrills are very imaginative and clever in making mountains out of molehills trying to drive a wedge between Russia and China. They can fool their own Anglo-Saxon White's checkers or draught players, but not chess players like Putin and Xi.

As an example, Russia and China had initial agreements to build another gas pipeline from Russia to China, going through Mongolia - The Power of Siberia 2. China now realized that Mongolia is hedging its bets by being extra friendly with the USA and the West recently, and China had to redraw its original plans to run the gas pipeline through Mongolia, which can be used by the USA and the West to sabotage China's gas supply. What the USA and the West did with the Nord Stream 2 pipeline sabotage taught China a very strategic and useful lesson.

Russia and China are now negotiating on a new plan to run the Power of Siberia 2 across Kazakhstan instead - a shorter, safer and more secure investment. There are more important considerations that China has recalculated, one of which being that China will have to pay a hefty fee to Mongolia for the gas pipeline running through its territory, which is going to escalate when Mongolia is pressured by its handlers from the West. This is in addition to the fear that gas cut-off could result in the event of conflict with the USA, which Mongolia will have to be pressured to take sides.

So, renegotiating a new plan is interpreted as a split by the simple-minded Simons. Laughable but true.

Typhoon missiles in the Philippines...American terrorists teaching the Chinese what to do next

 The Chinese must be learning every trick the lying American terrorists are teaching them, from freedom of navigation, building military bases around China and the latest, stationing nuclear weapon capable Typhoon missiles in the Philippines.

The first phase of this mischievous act was to transport nuclear missiles to the South China Sea in the name of conducting war games. The next step is to leave the missiles in the Philippines, promising to bring them back after the exercise. Then delay the return to September, claiming that they are no threat to China.

And the latest, claiming that the no money Philippines wanted to buy them, so the missiles are now own by the Philippines, not American missiles. And the Pinoys need not pay a single cent for it. And the missiles would be fully operated and controlled by the Americans to be used against China. And this is not nuclear proliferation, spreading nuclear weapons to a non nuclear state, turning South East Asia into a nuclear zone.

Now this is not rocket science. China should simply follow the same formula and deployed a few nuclear tipped missiles in the Caribbeans or in Latin America. Sell the missiles to these states without them having to pay for it, like the case of the Philippines that cannot even afford to pay for a coast guard boat.

China, Russia, what are you waiting for?
