Sounds like their craft is powered by Ford. Parts are on back order. How long? We don’t know. Just stay put.

"Space Debris" would be a solid name for a band.

Honestly wouldn’t shock me if Elon did go get them down because isn’t he heavily invested in large factories in China?

Blaming space debris… More likely their frickup

In decades of spaceflight, not once has an American spacecraft been stuck due to space debris. Yet Russian and now Chinese spacecraft are blaming space debris. Yeah, the craft have mechanical issues for sure.

I considered myself moderately educated on space related topics and I had no idea that China had a Space Station.

We do boost the only nation whose space debris has deorbited and hit a human. Small part of a delta 2 hit someone in Oklahoma 25+ years back.

China: "Next group up!"


That can't be a comfortable feeling- getting shot into space by the Chinese government.

China has dropped booster stages on villages though.

This is a ploy to get SpaceX to send Dragon so they can get close enough to it to steal some tech secrets.


Pretty sure Dragon can't dock with that station.

Very possible. They are the dumbasses who launched a missile at one of their old satellites and created the largest field of space debris ever.

Perhaps you should reconsider.
