China is planning to construct a space station within the next 2 years. The first module will launch next year, 11 launches in total will be conducted to finish it by 2023. The station will host three astronauts for six month rotations, and will have two experiment modules for international projects in the areas of astronomy, space medicine, space life science, biotechnology, microgravity fluid physics, microgravity combustion and space technologies. 6 experiments have been selected already for the first cycle, 3 more have received conditional acceptance. A co-orbiting two-metre-aperture space telescope will also be launched following completion of the basic station configuration. https://spacenews.com/rocket-arrives-as-china-targets-july-for-tianwen-1-mars-mission-launch/ Selected experiments:

RATM songs really capture the zeitgeist of the US right now

@Bluewolf Thought you might enjoy this... "The Things" by Peter Watts, a short story of John Carpenter's The Thing told from the alien's perspective. http://clarkesworldmagazine.com/watts_01_10/

This ought to be interesting. The US-UK dynamic is one to watch between this, the chlorinated chicken stuff and the deafening silence from our government over Trump's recent behaviour.

Yeah, I’m not buying that we are potless. Load of shite. Investments have been growing but so has our revenue, and we are going to add to that revenue with a new shirt deal, higher tv rates and prize money from winning the premier league. We have made absolutely mint in terms of prize money in the last two season, yet still no investment in the squad. I’m not screaming for 100m purchases either. Werner would have been expensive but he has such potential, is young, and could grow into a world class player. Our front three and others around the squad have been amazing servants and continue to perform to an unbelievable level for us, but let’s not forget the ages of Milner, Lallana, Gini, Lovren, Hendo (just about) are all 30 and will not be around forever. Get some fresh faces in, let them bed in and start fighting for a place in this team. Resting on your laurels for too long isn’t wise.

I was quite proud of this one this morning, mainly for the sky. It has made the photo.
