Comment on US concerned NASA will be overtaken by China's space program
SpaceCowboy@lemmy.ca 4 months agoTheir station has like three modules (with plans to add 3 more) and capacity for 3 people. The ISS has at least 16 modules (maybe over 30 depending on what you count as a module) and capacity for over a dozen people.
Like many things from authoritarian countries, it looks nice but isn’t even close in terms of capabilities.

Authoritarianism is not equal to capabilities. In fact, the Soviet space program was significantly more capable for a very long time
