…and my earlier answer to your question was “indiscriminately”.

I’m glad you didn’t add the twist lol.

Indiscriminately

This read more like a “increase defense budget plz” than a serious strategic analysis.

Thai comrade here.

We consider the monarchy issue as something to be consider after getting rid of west-influenced capitalist. The royal family is one huge contradiction by the virture of both being based as fuck and being the fucking monarchy at the same time (Unsurprisingly, consider the previous king openly stated to have Tito as idol). If it’s confusing, don’t worry, you’re not alone. The now-defunct Communist Party of Thailand also couldn’t make up their mind on this issue.

I’ll go for “USian” instead, becaus for whatever reasons it seem to pissed them off more.

Thank you.

Thank you.

…and, of course, paywalled.

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.

Ramakien (wikipedia link)

It’s the only one I remembered, thanks to secondary school. I remember that they are other mythology, mostly in the form of children stories, but I can’t remember the name or even the plot.

[warning : incoming rant]

Frankly, literatures is one of my least favorite subject in my entire school years, partly thanks to many local literatures that was so terribly written I have no idea why people still talk about them fondly. For heck sake, one of the first story we learn in primary school is a few step away from being a porn. Compare to these, at least Ramakien is somewhat enjoyable.

I’m Thai, so, thanks to the Buddhism-with-Hinduism-characteristic over here, I’m a bit familiar with a few of localized version of Hindu mythology, including Ramayana. I agree, it’s weird when you really think about it.

It’s been a while since I read that book. What’s the context again?

I mean, it’s such as Amos thing, so I’m not surprised, but I have no memory of that quote.

To put it mildly…

As describe by one Reuter report :

Imagine taking a chunk of rotting corpse from a stagnant sewer, placing it in a blender and spraying the filthy liquid in your face. Your gag reflex goes off the charts and you can’t escape, because the nauseating stench persists for days.

If they tried to get there again, I hope they didn’t neglected to put toilet facilities onto their spacecraft this time.

That seem too much of a logistical demand for the German of that time.

Aside from several choices here :

Cold Waters, if you’re into submarine game. The base game itself is centered around commanding US nuclear submarine, and thus feature only US campaigns. However, several mods exist that let players use Soviet submarine and take part in a Soviet campaign against US, so you could have fun blasting entire US carrier battlegroup with a 949 “Granit” SSGN.

Propaganda vs Public Relation Campaigns

From what I understand, Chinese use the same word for both.
