    I keep seeing people discount Chinese achievement because they ‘steal’ the tech. I don’t think my country could pull this off even after stealing all the tech. It’s quite an achievement. I hope this’ll show people what’s coming. China isn’t rising anymore. They’re rolling out of bed. The next century belongs to them

      Predicting the next century seems a bit much. But I’m glad they are experiencing success, I hope we all benefit from their discoveries.

          Lol. Visual impaired typing on a phone. I feel no shame in the odd typo.

          But yep germany has a very long history of scilled engineering. Before and after Nazi control.

        Boeing can’t even get Starship into LEO.

        Neoliberalism has destroyed American industry to such an extent that one of the companies that built the Saturn Fucking Vs in 1967 can’t get into orbit.
