The docking with the space lab was faultless or if you wish perfect.

O.P.

Docking:

ACMS:

The actual instrument indications of the docking were shown in close up detail on Beijing TV. It was like flying an ILS with both the G/S and LOC running on rails. What a shame you didn't see it.

O.P.

I guess everyone else besides the soviets should've just called it a day and stayed home after Yuri did his lap in 61 - After all, someone else did it first already, why bother even trying?

OP

So you're a patriot. Mazeltov.

China's achievements in orbital sciences is impressive, albeit a few decades late.

Do you want to hear accolades for China's achievements? I'd be the first to stand and applaud when the Chinese geriocracy...

Withdraws from Tibet.
Acknowledges human rights
Quits its policy of paranoid internet censorship.
Withdraws support for North Korea.
Stops state sponsored DDOS and hacking of state institutions and defence contractors.
And finally...
STOPS USING 121.5 AS A CHAT FREQUENCY FFS!

What has the launch got to do with FH anyway?

Cpt. Underpants;

Appreciate the congratulations, thank you.
The rest of your post is a reflection of political interference by you know who. Any comment from me to you regarding what you have said is thus a waste of time.

O.P.

Keep telling yourself that if it makes you feel better mate.

As we say here in Aus, "good on ya mate"

NOTAM: Ocean Person is a Beijing stooge who routinely comes here to sing the praises of his beloved leaders from the party.

Not that I mean to diminish the achievements of China's space endeavors - I think they're doing cool stuff - but I just can't stand a bloke who can't think for himself and blindly idolizes self-serving politicians he didn't even elect...

I think you will find OP lives far away from the great wall, in his retirement.

He enjoys the comforts a democracy affords, but thrives on poking sticks into the ant's nest for the cheap entertainment it provides.

Love the hypocrisy.
So when will the west-
Withdraw from the middle east?
Close Gitmo?
Exhonorate Snowden?
Withdraws support from the Saudis?
Who do you think has got more evesdropping assets - Beijing or the CIA?
121.5. Do you actually understand the chatter or might you actually be interfering with official usage with your guard policing?

Future launches will be off Hainan island - should be a hell of a show.

Re:
The space station; they needed more time to hack & copy everyone else's space station technology before they could build their own !
Funny story re the ARJ21; I was walking down Nathan road and when directly in front of Chungking mansions a guy approached me wearing a trench coat and when he grabbed the lapels and flashed open the jacket he asked me "copy DC9 ??"

Mr. Fox

Yes, I do understand the chatter. Why it can't be relegated to 123.45 like EVERYONE ELSE is beyond me. 121.5 is sacrosanct. It's meant to save lives. My reaction now to the mindless blathering in Chinese airspace is to mute it. Good luck when someone really needs help.

I won't be drawn into an argument over Gitmo or the ME as I fail to see the relationship between China's imperialism, paranoia and the raving loonies that threaten very idea of educated women, freedom of speech, culture, and the thought that anything other than their "religion of peace" has a place in the world.

In case you haven't figured it out, welcome to the new crusades. Stop them dead or or live (and very likely, die) under the heel of radical Islam.

Yes please mods. Please remove.

Unfortuantely there are no Germans to copy this time around.
So did you take up his offer to grab his "copy DC9"?
Did it grow into a "stretched" -88 afterwards?

I'm guessing you are the culprit behind all those cathay lost comm incidents then? Good job!

Yes the space race was won before most of us were born:

C'mon, space is perfect for the chinese manufacturing industry! they have it perfected to make something that lasts only once! "Brave" boys strapping themselves to a Chinese rocket.

Well, it's been five years since anyone in the west has had the capability of launching a human into earth orbit (and likely to be at least two more years before we have the capability again) In comparison, it was eight years from Alan Shepard's sub-orbital flight to Neil Armstrong's 'one small step' on the moon
Kudo's to China - at least for the near future they are capable of doing something impressive that the West threw away...
