“Misdirection is the key to survival, never attack what your enemy defends, never behave as your enemy expects, and never reveal your true strength. If knowledge is power then to be unknown is to be unconquerable.”

This day is to be remembered.
Apologies, I’m not really familiar with that franchise. Can you elaborate?
[Me, player of CnC General who favor Nuke General as main faction]
I more than understand. I embraced it.
The glow, the wonderful glow.
8·6 months ago…and, of course, paywalled.
Good? Not sure. Completely justified in their counteroffensive against Super Earth? Absolutely.
I mean, I could think of this as an extension of existing space infrastructure, allow using the spaceport as hub for extra-fast delivery.
The problem is this require said spaceport to existed in the first place, which we still have exactly zero of it.
Chinese commercial launch sector is very, very competitive area, where at least a dozen company still fighting over each other to find their own niche to fulfill. Land launch, sea launch, solid fuel, Lox/LH2 rocket, Lox/Methane rocket, expendable, reusable, Falcon 9 clone, mini-falcon 9, small payload rocket, gigantic rocket, and more. And this is only the commercial sector. I haven’t even touch what the CASC and other state-own agencies are probably working on. (probably, because a lot of what they are working on is dual civilian-military program, which came with fuck tons of secrecy as a result). My guess is this is their attempt to gain investors and find their own place, nothing more.
Curiously, compare to more prominent players like Deep Blue Aerospace, LandSpace, Galactic Energy, or iSpace (seriously?), I don’t think the name Space Epoch came up very often. Like with almost ALL Chinese commercial launch companies, what they will produce, if it went anywere, remain to be seen.
6·7 months agoThis one is Soviet’s ASU-76. It didn’t get pass prototype stage, but led to the development of ASU-57.
You beat me to it.
Image example :
If they tried to get there again, I hope they didn’t neglected to put toilet facilities onto their spacecraft this time.
Can I point out how color scaling really suck here? The shade between 85 (Brazil) and 75 (China) is much more different between 96 (Australia) and 85, or between 75 and 45 (Egypt).
It doesn’t even match the scale provided at the bottom of the image.
This read more like a “increase defense budget plz” than a serious strategic analysis.
