Moon: China vs. USA. Where will Russia be?

160
Yes, today we have to admit that China has broken into the space family and will not go anywhere from it now. However, this was understandable before, but the first places in near-space surveys and analysts were taken by the successes of the Elon Musk program and the directly opposite statements by Dmitry Rogozin in terms of success.

However, if we talk about who will more beautifully declare their future successes, then, of course, Rogozin is beyond competition.



However, we have not Rogozin on our agenda, but China. A country that has made just a giant leap into space. Considering that the Chinese began work on integration into space much later than the USSR and the USA, and even not having such a level of development of both science and technology - there really is a standing ovation.



Yes, the Chinese have a secret trump card. More precisely, it is not a secret, but a very significant trump card that will really allow China not only to catch up, but, possibly, to overtake its rivals in space.

And this trump card is called - socialist planning. That is, a clearly developed concept and a plan for its implementation in accordance with the teachings of Marxism-Leninism, which is followed by the CPC, the leading country.

And you shouldn't even think about how erroneous or hopeless this teaching can be. Because it was on it that the Soviet Union at one time broke into space leaders. And it was precisely on the rejection of such a plan that Russia lost its leadership.

So, China, implementing its own concept, is gradually beginning to catch up and even break away from competitors.

Having tested everything that was necessary at two small orbital stations "Tiangong" (I would call them copies of "Salut"), the Chinese are starting to build a multi-module orbital station of the ISS type. Will they build it? There is no doubt about it.

Interplanetary stations. Full order. At the end of last year, the Chinese Chang'e-5 spacecraft delivered soil samples from the lunar surface to Earth. This is the first delivery of lunar soil to Earth in 45 years, since the Soviet mission "Luna-24", which took place in 1976.

Well, at what pace the PRC is sowing near-earth space with satellites, everyone can see for himself. There is nothing pleasant for us.

What about the USA?

Everything is quite complicated there. It all depends on who the president is and what his personal attitude to the space program is. Remember how Obama was criticized for his negative attitude towards the lunar program, which led to its curtailment?

But, as it turned out, Obama was right, redirecting efforts and money to support private projects. And as a result, SpaceX appeared, its own reusable launch vehicles appeared, which made life very, very much easier for the American space program in terms of independence from Russia.

Yes, the lunar program was on the sidelines. And what is it? There is no sense in the lunar program if there are no ships and rockets capable of working out the lunar programs.

Russia ... It's sad here. And, unfortunately, apart from the theoretical shuffling of Rogozin from side to side, we have nothing. That flight to Mars, the lunar program, then its own orbital station. With all that, the problem with launch vehicles has not been fully resolved.

I just don't want to talk about the new generation spacecraft. All the same module "Science" for long-term construction, that "Federation" - "Eagle" that "Argo". Conversations endlessly and endlessly, boundless, like space ...

But there is no need to talk about Russia, or rather, there is nothing yet. Let's go back to the USA.

There, too, jumping be healthy. Especially around the moon.

Donald Trump decided to return the Apollo-Artemis lunar program that Obama had removed from the far safe. The program is outwardly strong: a lunar station "Gateway", regular flights to the moon, the construction of a station on the surface of the satellite.

Will they be able to? Well, since Musk has solved the problem with launch vehicles, it is possible. But not by the specified 2024. Here, sorry, it's hard to believe.



And now Trump is done. Enter history, as another president-conqueror of the moon, he will not succeed. And Biden ...

In general, one must speak carefully for Biden. Having watched several of his speeches, I still did not understand how the new US president generally views the space program. And does he even look at her somehow. So, given the unstable political behavior of Biden in some issues (I'm not about hatred of Russia and China, if anything - approx.), I would not be surprised if NASA once again swooped down on budget cuts, and Apollo Artemis again went to the archive.

Here in Biden it will be performed easily and naturally.

And then it is quite possible that the Chinese will land on the moon before the Americans.

Considering the attitude in the United States to the Moon ("Whoever got up earlier - that and the slippers"), there the satellite is considered almost property, this will cause not the best resonance in America. And rightly so, by the way. Statements of some American politicians on the theme that "everything that is mined on the moon should belong to the United States" make you want to twist your finger to your temple, nothing more.

So before the "Death Star" in orbit of the Earth and inspection spaceships on approach, it will not take long to finish badly. And there it is not far from a room with soft walls in general.

And of course, one cannot fail to note the successes of two rival American space corporations, the already mentioned SpaceX Elon Musk and Blue Origin of Jeff Bezos.

Both are developing space technology, launching satellites, SpaceX is creating a Starlink orbital network of 12 thousand satellites, Blue Origin is also working to create its own similar network, albeit smaller.

And both companies declare cooperation with NASA on the lunar program. Will it work? Everything is possible.

However, the main thing that these companies have done is that with the help of their developments (especially reusable launch vehicles), they have significantly reduced the cost of one kilogram of payload, thrown into low-earth orbit. The orbit became more accessible than numerous research centers immediately began to use, which previously could not afford space launches.

And what about us?

Well, if apart from historical glory, which, in fact, is not Russian, but Soviet?

In the world (especially in Europe) it is believed that the whole world is watching the decline of Russian cosmonautics.

19 launches (17 successful) in 2017
17 launches (16 successful) in 2018
22 launches (21 successful) In 2019
15 launches (15 successful) in 2020

A confident third place after China and the USA. And the European Union, which is on its heels, with its own program.

In the Czech edition iDNES.cz there was an article in which Karel Zvonik expressed the opinion that “Russia, which cannot be denied inventiveness, has recently lost a clear and understandable goal. Judging by the inexhaustible stream of statements by Russian leaders, the country under the leadership of Vladimir Putin wants to achieve practically everything in astronautics, but can not bring anything to its logical conclusion. "

Yes, now we can easily say that it is not for the Czechs to evaluate our successes or failures, since they themselves have not created anything in the space industry. However, the fact that all the words about future projects of Roskomos basically end in nothing is fair.

Since 2005, the fuss around the reusable spacecraft has continued. Whether "Eagle", or "Argo" - it is not entirely clear who will be and whether there will be.

Since 1995 the module "Science" has been tormented. It seems that 80% of the checks have been completed, perhaps in 2021 the module will still be launched and docked to the ISS.

There were talks about the beginning of the development of the lunar program, but so far they can not finish the Vostochny cosmodrome. Venus exploration programs don't look serious either.

Beautiful presentations and loud statements against the background of increasingly obsolete space technologies of the mid-20th century, laid down by the Soviet pioneers of space exploration - this is not a space superpower. These are just empty statements that are worthless and have little value.

In general, throwing from the Moon to Venus, unsupported by anything, is the current reality of Russian cosmonautics.

The lack of a clear plan and clear leadership makes the situation similar to the American one, in which everything depends on the personal attitude of the incumbent president to the space program. In Russia, however, everything depends on several other components.

From this, one can draw a conclusion that is not very pleasant for Russia and the United States: in the near future, China, which has a clear strategy and the ability to fulfill its plans, will be able to become the undisputed leader in space exploration. And this applies not only to the lunar research program.

The Moon can be declared a US zone of influence. But will the satellite of the planet make it an American territory, if Chinese ships and automatic stations fly there?

        No, they have not taken out, at least 500 million Chinese live in conditions of improbable poverty, lack of access to education, medicine in terrible sanitary conditions even by the standards of third world countries

        2. Socialist planning has made it possible to become a world leader in the economy.

        And here the mistake, the whole success of the Chinese economy, is that the capitalists, mainly from the USA, began to stir up their production in China using cheap labor, low requirements for working conditions and the environment.
        Well, China only calls itself socialist, in fact, they have capitalism of the most terry type with merciless exploitation.

        3. Space is developing at the pace of the USSR, and soon Tianven-1 will fly to Mars.

        It is quite possible.

        4. And one capitalist country 3 in the world in decline ... fell in terms of income to Africa ..

            My relative has a business in China, a shoe factory, so here's first-hand information, the salary of a master in the price of Russian money is about one hundred thousand rubles, and now working conditions, a day off once a month and a half (used to be once a month), working day 12-14 hours, no social services. guarantees, paid vacation, etc. And now calculate how much you will have to pay in Russia under such conditions (and is it even possible)


            Firstly: not all the success, this is only one of the factors, and secondly, this was true for the 80-90s, now this agitation can only cause laughter.


            Well, he knows the Russian proverb about laughter for no reason, who is against laughing.

            The Chinese do not whimper, but they know very well that neither capitalism, since they create private companies, hire workers, private individuals own the means of production and retain added value for themselves. In addition to this, children are exploited in production, even at one time iPhones were collected by children, until it was opened and it became toxic for Apple.

            You write 5 billion, why should you feel sorry for their adversaries


            Not all the same 500 million, with a population of 1.4 billion in China, which surprises you so much.

          For reference. China has held the world record in poverty eradication over the past ten years. This statement was made by UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres in Munich at a security conference. He clarified that over the past 30 years, more than 700 million Chinese have ceased to be poor.

          There is no need to catch up with horror here .. the Chinese have such a dynamic that not one state in the world dreamed of .. I will not say anything about Russia at all.
          And here the mistake, the whole success of the Chinese economy, is that the capitalists, mainly from the USA, began to stir up their production in China using cheap labor, low requirements for working conditions and the environment.

          Exactly the same with us, but here for some reason the capitalists do not place anything .. probably they are afraid that they will steal everything? And the problem is with the ecology .. But the salary we already have much less ..

          But at the same time, everything is exactly higher than in China.

          Not for long with such dynamics.

                        Yes, and much of what you can buy for 100 euros in most European countries you will not buy in Russia at all. There are also examples in the Russian direction, I will not lie. For example, when I was in Munich for the first time, the metro for 3 euros was unpleasantly struck. Yes, this is a single ticket, the travel card is cheaper, but nonetheless. I came to Munich from Prague, the metro there is less than euros, like in Moscow.

                        It is widely known that a huge percentage of the consumer market in Russia is covered by imports. This also applies to food, and primarily industrial goods. Where, in this situation, this most notorious superiority in the teaching staff can come from is not difficult to understand. 1. The difference in quality - for a considerable part of Russian "food", for example, in Europe, an importer would just sit down. 2. Pure cheating. If in Russia cars are sold mainly for 10K, and in America - for 30K, then it is concluded that the PPP of the dollar in America is 3 times less than in Russia - you can buy 3 times more cars in Russia for the same amount dollars, compared to America.

                        But there is a small nuance.

By the standards of Moscow, real estate prices are more than moderate, except for the branches of hell like London.

                        You have a rather peculiar interlocutor. He seems to be a Russian-speaking Latvian who has been living in Western Europe since his school years (Britain is often mentioned, sometimes France), but he is most active on the topics "Navalny" and "Ukraine", which is somewhat strange for a British (or is it already Danish? world) Latvian. It is no less strange to see in a self-styled European a penchant for Russian thugs humor.

                        Of course, he whistled about coffee for 20 euros in polemical fervor, and now puffs out his cheeks. I can't say for sure - I have never been to Denmark - but such prices can be found in top tourist or especially pretentious places. That is, "Is there coffee in Copenhagen for 20 euros?" - yes, it happens, "Is it possible to compare this price with the price in the Russian Starbucks and rub about PPP?" - of course not. The Dutch, German and Swedish lidles did not surprise me with anything in terms of prices. It would be strange to have some kind of price anomaly in Denmark, usually only Norway and Switzerland are distinguished in terms of prices.

                        As for the salary - firstly, Denmark is not included in the euro area. Secondly, there is no state minimum salary - it is coordinated, speaking in Russian, by the trade unions. Now it is 110 CZK / h, approximately 15 euros. Yes, this is not bad even in comparison with Germany. Average salaries are also relatively high.

                        You have a rather peculiar interlocutor
                        At the moment, this is a kind of interlocutor for me. Shows interest, you know ... Well, than I can - I will help. I left for England at the age of 18, lived a little in Ireland, returned for a short time back to Latvia. My wife was born in France, so I know this country relatively well (in comparison with the local trolls). By nationality- rootless cosmopolitan with two passports Russian Baltic. In Ukraine (still Soviet) lived a little. The topics "Navalny" and "Ukraine" are interesting because in Europe they are also discussed - but from opposite and often abstract positions - and not so often. Coffee with a loaf for 20 euros - in Copenhagen near the bridge. We, I remember, ordered all this, gave the crowns, and then the spouse says - 40 pounds for two - wow. The cafe was ordinary, but in the center. Something like this. More questions?

          And how much was before 2000? China in 2021 and China in 2000 is just heaven and earth, the standard of living has increased, and very seriously, and the largest megacities of the PRC are in no way inferior to the Western ones (in terms of income, access to medicine, education, etc.), and there is still a stratification between the poor The North and the rich South, but the changes that have taken place in just a few decades are very impressive. And according to the CCP:

          The last nine Chinese counties still on the poor list were removed from the list by Chinese officials on Nov.23, Xinhua reported.

          The Guizhou provincial government announced that the last nine poor counties have eradicated absolute poverty. The average annual income of poor people in these nine counties rose to 11 yuan (about 487 rubles), far above the national poverty line of 132 yuan set this year, officials said.

          China has pledged to eradicate absolute poverty in the country by the end of 2020. As of the end of 2019, 52 counties in the northwest, southwest, and south of the country remained poor.

          “The exclusion of all the poor counties shows that China has solved the millennial problem of extreme poverty,” said Gao Gang, a researcher at the Guizhou Academy of Social Sciences. According to the scientist, having eradicated poverty, China has entered a new phase of development.

                  I agree that there are quite a few countries in the world where the standard of living exceeds that of China (in general), mostly small Western countries that have good income (from business, from banking, or from the sale of natural resources, etc.) but if we do not take GDP per capita, but simply compare the amount ... then I think in China there will be 200-300 million people who, in terms of income and quality of life (medicine, education, etc.), are comparable to these 5-4 millions of Finns (considering that there is also poverty in Finland, and the incomes of the population are different ...). Even in Russia, there is a layer of people, not even the middle class, but let's say above the middle class ... who have 2-3 cars (foreign cars) each, have good real estate, they have access to high-quality medicine and good education + have the opportunity, go to the EU to relax / shop, etc. it's another matter that in comparison with other groups of the population there are few of them ...

The fact that the Russian Federative Socialist Republic was the largest in area is again the merit of the Bolsheviks. After all, had it not been for the Bolsheviks, there would not have been in present-day Russia a piece from the Far East to the Urals, which the whites sold to America and Japan. There would be no north that was sold to the Americans. There would be no Caucasus and Krasnodar Territory that were sold to the British. There would be no Ukraine, no south, no west, which retreated to the French and Germans with the Poles. And now the principality of Moscow would remain from Russia. You have forgotten the Civil War and the fact that the Bolsheviks won in it, who created a great country out of shit. Now it has been turned into a country that was before the start of the civil war.

    We have no choice but to catch up with the USSR. Luna-25, the first lunar station after a long hiatus, is due to launch this year. It makes no sense to launch "Science" to the ISS, it would be more logical to use it for a new domestic station of Salyut-7 dimension. "Orlofederation" is not needed either for the Moon or for a near-earth station, it is too expensive and redundant. It would be better to develop a new transport ship for three or four people on the Soyuz base, without a utility compartment, but with a reusable descent vehicle. And it should be launched on the Soyuz-2 launch vehicle, and in the long term - on the new Soyuz-7 methane launch vehicle. That is, its mass should not exceed 8 tons. Heavier manned ships are unaffordable luxury for us. The Angara is not a very successful rocket, but we have no other rocket for geostationary orbit. Therefore, we will have to build it up with hydrogen. With its help, it will be possible to more or less decently make the Moon and other planets with automatic interplanetary stations. As well as a manned near-earth station. It will also be possible to fly a manned flight around the Moon on a modified Soyuz in a single launch or a flight to a circumlunar orbit in a double launch. The four-launch moon landing is a perversion, but it works for a single flag stick.
    For commercial, military, economic use and possible international cooperation on the moon, it is necessary to create Soyuz-5, which will replace Angara in the future. It will be possible to install a hydrogen booster block to launch satellites into geostationary orbit, then a hydrogen second stage (both from the Angara), then convert it to methane, and then the lunar super-heavy can be made from several rocket blocks. If you have someone to cooperate with, of course;)

      A few comments.
      What concept can be used to build a Russian OS? How will it look like? How to build your OS? From scratch? Use old ISS "bricks" and add new ones? It makes no sense to take old stuff from the ISS, already now the Russian segment of the ISS is bursting at the seams and poisoning the air. Take nove? It will not work to mold the OS from the modules "Science", "Pitch" and "NEM", there will not be enough architectural elements, even the development of gateways will take a lot of time. I can describe in detail why the construction of a ROS is impossible for any of the options. But I will limit myself to one argument: there is simply no money for this. Russia cannot afford such a project financially. Or it will stretch it not even for years - for decades.
      As for the rest, it all depends on the lack of technology.
      Russia does not have a third stage using hydrogen. Not for Angara, not for anyone else. And without it, climbing the GSO or getting to the Moon with a decent load is problematic, not to mention the lunar orbit. The technologies of hydrogen engines created for Energy are irretrievably lost. Purely theoretically (why not dream?) Can be used to output the PN from LEO to the target upper stage. But the trouble is that there are no RB-hydrogen plants either.
      All noteworthy Russian RBs operate on a pair of "heptyl-amyl". Frigate, Breeze and others. RB family DM - kerosene stoves. RB Perseus - version RB 11S861 - kerosene.
      The only thing that really happened on hydrogen so far is RB 12 KRB. So he does not plow with us, with the Indians on the GSLV PH.
      RB KVTK in the process of birth, when the birth will take place - even Rogozin does not know. But obviously not tomorrow.
      As for the RD-0150 for the third stage of the Angara-A5V, it is characterized by one word - it is being developed. There is nothing more to add, given the traditional Russian shifts to the right in time.
      By the way, there is to take the successes of China in this direction (which seems to be always licking something from Russia), then in December last year it successfully launched the CZ-8 (Long March 8) launch vehicle with five satellites. Hydrogen is successfully used in the carrier; in addition, the design of the first stage provides for its reuse. We are waiting for multiple landings.

        The concept of the new OS is simple, and not invented by me: one maximum two modules. This is the only chance to preserve manned space exploration - what we still can do. Blinding from existing, but not yet running modules - yes, there is no other way. Gateways - yes, you also have to do it. As for finances, if Russia does not pull even that, then it won’t pull more, and even more so. Hydrogen must be done, whether you want it or not. Without it, we have no replacement for Proton.

        The point is that we do not have this, and this must be done now. There is enough money in the country, there is only no clear concept of space - this is what the government now requires from scientists. So as not to lose what is available, but also not to go broke on Wishlist. Well, you can, of course, fold the legs and do nothing. Then we'll lose everything.

          If you think about it, the future of Russian manned astronautics is in general a big question. Already today.
          If technical problems on the ISS continue to widen (especially in the Russian segment, from where air is already leaking from), then the station may end its life even earlier than 2024. And then the question between the countries participating in the project will inevitably become: what to do next?
          With the United States, everything is clear: they have two lunar programs in priority - in the mid-20s, the practical implementation of the Gateway project in the orbit of the Moon was announced, and by the 30th year - the Artemis project. In addition, it is planned to build a small commercial OS in low orbit.
          Private traders will not be in flight either. Bezos will take tourists to New Shepard (albeit a suborbit, but still ...), his New Glenn will attach somewhere NASA. Musk will find use of Falcon Heavy and Falcon-9 without NASA. He has real space tourism and lunar logistics capabilities (even without Starship).
          European ISS partners will join the Gateway program.
          China stands apart. Despite the brilliant lunar successes, his priority is still the Earth OS. Its construction will start this year, and it should be finished by the 23rd. For manned astronautics - a sea of ​​activities.
          But what should Russia do? In the plane of manned astronautics? After the death of the ISS? Where to fly? What for?
          Well, there may be a couple of extreme tourists. What else?
          The lunar theme disappears. Under the Moon there is neither a manned spacecraft, nor a launch vehicle for it.
          ROS? But if you make a station based on the minimal architecture, then why? The field for scientific research will also be automatically narrowed to a minimum; moreover, most of the scientific research over the decades of the existence of various low-support stations has already been completed. Doing only in order to do? I don't know ... The practical use of such an OS is highly questionable.

            If all the plans still came true, in theory, the Americans should have already jumped on Mars and have their base there, or fly to an asteroid (as Obama bequeathed), but with the advent of the new administration, old plans are scrapped, new ones appear, but SLS still does not. .... the only thing that the Americans really succeeded in is in the machines that really explored and are exploring the Solar System + private traders have great successes ... but globally, as people in Earth's orbit were pushing and pushing, only dates and plans - are carried over. As for our country and its successes, I generally agree with you .... Russia's prospects in terms of space exploration are vague, to put it mildly. ROS is definitely needed to maintain competence in the PC, so that it does not work out like with Luna-25, when we start everything, practically from 0 ... but here, the problem (of building ROS) is not even in technology and funding, but in the absence of political will of the current government. The Kremlin does not understand why Russia needs space, if there is gas / oil, there are geopolitical games, wars ... and space is expensive and does not bring the necessary dividends, but if you set a task and really control the process, then old personnel can be found, remember how the Salutes did and restore what was lost, but it will be expensive, but the alternative is to close the PC in Russia.

            What other options are there? You can create a coalition from non-Western countries (China, India, Turkey, etc.) and create a lunar base on the surface of the moon. But so far the interest of other participants is not visible ... although endless negotiations (with the same China) are going on from time to time.

            And in principle, in terms of manned astronautics, everything ... the road to the Western Coalition is closed (on the Gateway), i.e. They regard Russia as an enemy and competitor, with China the same story ... and then if you don't dance, there will be no sense).

And precisely because one F-1 engine gave more thrust than all the engines of the "new trend" on the super-heavy "mask" rocket (won't you tell , where those who are kicked out of the African vocational school for the poor progress of drug addicts are taught engine building) - according to the most modest estimates - it is necessary to launch the Falcon 35 times just to deliver the assembly material for a rocket capable of reaching the Moon, into orbit? This is despite the fact that from the F-1 the rocket with the cargo seemed to get to the Moon, starting from the Earth and once?

          Yawning ...
          The F-1 engine was designed for a specific carrier and for a specific practical purpose. Therefore, the traction is decent, and the other parameters are normal. The goal was achieved.
          As for the Falcons, then, perhaps, a drug addict could dream that Musk wanted to get to them to the moon. But adequate people know that for this purpose Musk is building the Starship, a completely different carrier.
          As for trends, they are still on the agenda. As reusability was a priority, it remains. Since Roscosmos itself has started talking about it.
          The Falcons don't need heavy duty motors. They have different goals. The task was to crush the commercial launch market for LEO. This task is brilliantly accomplished by Mask. European and Russian services are left behind, they are no longer needed. The proton is buried, the Angara and the as yet not made Soyuz-5 have no even theoretical chances of getting into the international commercial niche. Musk made a "nine" and super-heavy, which are absolutely out of competition. For Musk, this is all a stage already passed and he is now engaged in the Starship.
          And in order to understand why the Mask has several engines on the Falcon, you must first learn the materiel. Understand the difference between multi-motion and multi-chamber. Understand why propulsion is possible in the first case, but not in the second. Understand the meaning of the term "throttling parameters". Understand why you need dubbing engines and a safety net. But this requires desire. The absence of which is felt, judging by the school arguments.

        Yes, you are right, I just meant that the author did not mention in the article that the Americans were already there in 1969, hence the conclusion of this article suggests that the United States has never been there at all and Chinese taikonauts in the future will be the first in the whole history of mankind, but whether the United States was on the moon or not is actually another question, respectfully hi

      How the Chinese could get ahead if they copy everything

      The fact is that the Chinese copy what is needed to build a strong state with a strong economy and armed forces. And what have Russian "figures" copied over the past three decades? Palaces, yachts, golden toilets? The electronics of Chinese manufacturers are in the first places in the world, but what do we have? What is the Russian electronics industry striving for?
      The growing population allows selection in all branches of industry and science. And our population is dying out, the Russian language is becoming a tool for swearing. And once there were Pushkin with Tolstoy, and Lomonosov with Tsiolkovsky, and Korolev with Tupolev, and Zykina with Plisetskaya, and Bondarchuk (father) with Efremov (Oleg) ... And today? And we have? Straight from the classics:

    In the current gloomy present, we would support the satellite constellation and bring the Angara and it will be good. It's hard to dream about more in the current realities.

    From what we are now observing, it is very clear how our system is archaic and inert in relation to many issues - the horizon of our planning lies before the horizon of the beginning of the activities of the same China / USA / often even Japan. There is no need to talk about our real participation in the Moon Race - they are not ready economically and purposefully, at the level of political will they are also not ready. After the collapse of the USSR, our space program (as far as I understand) fell more and more into some kind of vinaigrette cooperation with the West, and now, as a result of this, we simply do not have an understanding of what to do next if there will soon be no one to carry into orbit.
    Once again, all of our movements for the foreseeable future are tied to the economy and planning - either defense, import substitution, or space. We will not go far until we deal with the legislative framework and the development of our economy and industry (as well as the welfare of people), because Space is not a thing "in itself", it is a natural continuation of the country's development (and if there is no perceived development, then it will be felt in space will not be) .

    There has long been no Marxism-Leninism in China. There is social capitalism, where the state is the main corporation, and the CPC essentially performs the functions of its board of directors. The Kremlin is now trying to build something similar by buying up controlling stakes in large (especially mining) enterprises and creating new state corporations, enlarging existing ones according to directions, etc.
    But yes, the Chinese have not abolished the classical state plan (and rightly so), although now it does not penetrate so much into all spheres of China's economic activity.
    At the expense of science and technology. They are present in China (primarily machine tools and electronics), although they are lagging behind in many areas in others. They compensate for this with an excellently working foreign intelligence service and a disregard for patent law.

    At the expense of the lunar program and the dreams of some politicians about some state or private property on the moon, I believe that in the next twenty years all this does not make sense to take seriously, due to the fact that the cost of such programs is absolutely prohibitive. And the reasons for this cost lie in the physical principles of the design of rocket engines. And just here, I do not agree with Roman that we are in complete ass, given the ongoing development and creation of nuclear-powered space tugs. You also need to understand that Boykonur, at the moment, is conditionally suitable for solving such global projects, and at the new Vostochny launch complex there is still a lot to build and build (here it is necessary to remind Roman that Boykonur, even under the USSR and its state plan, in its present form it was created for decades, and not suddenly and immediately). By the time the entire infrastructure of the Vostochny cosmodrome is available, the launched products will be ready. The same "Angara" and more difficult projects.
    Those. I am calm about the fact that the Chinese and Americans will get out of their skin, just to put another flag on "lunar Everest". If there is no force majeure, then at a certain moment a Russian forester will come and heap luli on everyone who is fighting for this lunar "forester's lodge".

    Regarding SpaceX and Starlink .. They have not yet fully matured to serious manned space programs, since there are real problems in terms of reliability. Well, okay, they will grow, no question. The question is, what will be the reaction of the state and the public in the event of a disaster and the death of the crew? If the disaster with the "Challenger" and "Columbia" was viewed as nationwide, since NASA is in some way a state enterprise and the attitude to the space race was almost Soviet-style - we (the whole people and the whole country) did it. Then in the case of a type of private company, it will be (it seems to me) everything is somewhat different.
    Further .. What does the number of micro and nano satellites that they launch have to do with the lunar program, I do not know, since these satellites are launched to conquer the Earth (via social networks), but not the Moon, since there are no social networks there.))
    Well, that's all I would like to say about the pseudo private American space developers (the loot there is still spinning from the state). Perhaps only to remind that the Americans are still buying rocket engines from us. But that's okay, that's for now. There will be time, they will make their own.

    In general, the vector of the article is clear and does not cause fundamental internal contradictions in me, but the presentation is somewhat chaotic and to a certain extent tendentious. Those. I understand what Roman wanted to say and generally agree with him. But as they say, God is in the details.

        Our opinions differ here. Musk, as such, has no money (his own). All his projects are unprofitable (without exception). Essentially, Musk is like a billboard for American entrepreneurship. Loot is spinning there from the state and from some interested sponsors (about like Mark Zuckerberg's millions who came from nowhere)).
        Thousands of nanosatellites, in the context of serious space, this is nothing at all and not about that. There, each satellite weighs about a kilogram, at the price of a piece of bugs (in fact, routers, in space performance). They sow them in handfuls in orbit. If we had a need and a task, we would also sow, since there are enough old ICBMs to write off. Each of about a hundred will output, if not more.

    As for Biden, I would like to add. He really didn't really say anything about space, like Kamala, maximum congratulations, for example, or general phrases about supporting NASA and private traders. Everyone was really afraid for Artemis and the USSF (a new branch of the US Armed Forces, spun off from the Air Force by Trump, which Psaka unknowingly called the "new aircraft" laughing ). But the new administration has already confirmed that Artemis will be supported and the USSF will not be returned to the Air Force. So it won't go to the archive! And other countries have already joined the United States, mainly through the LOP-G line, but this is also part of the lunar program. And Biden talked so much about uniting with the allies ... Besides, if China succeeds, and even us with our program, the Americans will somehow be inconvenient to bury the program. But! The support for "Artemis" will be cut financially, and this is already unambiguous, in fact, the decision was made in mid-December. At the same time, the program is very voluminous and complex. And in April, they will still choose two of the three previously approved lander. Perhaps if the Democrats, who have the majority, continue to cut the budget, then one will have to choose. And yes, you can forget about Trump's dream of returning people to the moon in 1 for now, although many considered these dates too unrealistic. But a lot has already been done! Orion is ready, SLS is almost the same, even a failure on the first fire bench test turned out to be an error in setting up the software (Boeing laughing ), and not structural defects, which would be much more serious.

Instead of her, having stolen a bunch of dough, as is customary to equip the Evropeyskiy SEC, he worked poorly for a couple of years, now it is closed, they are looking for someone to prodal. This is the introductory part, so to speak.
      There were people left, seamstresses, experienced by the way. A man came, I’m taking you to me, by the way I bought the equipment from this factory, the work started. And the salary seems to be nothing and the bonus, don't laugh, it went off scale for twenty, our men at the factories received less. A doll came from the former jersey, from the department, I don’t know what it was and how it sang to the owner, now the seamstresses come at 6-30 and plow until 16-00, and some still remain and barely reach 10-12 thousand.

      So it turns out that for a cup of rice, it's ours who plow, not the Chinese. And there is no work, that's the whole story. So you don't have to open your mouth wide.

    What is there to do? There are a lot of them to mine rare earth metals on the lunar surface in the form of fragments of meteorites and asteroids that bombarded the lunar surface for billions of years, and in view of the very low attraction and the absence of soil erosion, they are all on the surface - we launch robotic complexes with metal detectors and magnetometers and they will find areas where metal focused and the same robotic technology that will extract all this from the United States for this, in fact, almost everything is there and the super-heavy Falcon Heavy and even the reusable cargo Dragon 2 that can take off from the surface of the Moon atomic energy sources of 10 kW and more satellite communication constellation can be brought out now into the orbit of the Moon and behind them dozens of satellites of inspectors who can simply ram ships and stations flying into orbit, and with such a realization, the United States in all seriousness can declare that the Moon completely belongs to them - and no one can do anything about it. The principle in space will be one for the long term who is the first one and the owner.

    And let's not do anything at all and not strive for anything. Let's be Upper Volta. And our rockets will rot. This is your logic.
    But I hope that our people, who are rooting for Russia, will not support you and others like you.

    Life in Poland is much better than on another planet
    It is quite the average European standard of living in Poland, and the Caribbean basin (with the level of China) is far from them. But best of all is in communist China laughing There's planning and the Party wassat

    And what have planning and the party to do with it? Or are you for the liberals and for Tananmen?
    And take an interest in economic history. And you will see that only non-democratic countries are making a powerful economic breakthrough. So, the United States and Europe made a breakthrough not the first place in the world in terms of economy in those days when they were not yet democratic, that is, Europe before the Second World War, and the United States before the 60s. And many other examples. Although, of course, an authoritarian regime is, to put it mildly, not a guarantee of continued economic growth.
    Personally, about you, Boltorez, I will assume that for a long time you were subordinated to the pleasant thought of superiority over the Chinese, as underdeveloped creatures plowing for a bowl of rice. And it upsets you that the Chinese turned out to be so daring that they surpassed us, the Russians, and that we, the Russians, in comparison with the Chinese, are a backward, industrially degrading people. And you still have a little racist hope that the Chinese will still grow up to the USA. But within our generation, China will surpass the United States in terms of bulk.

      But even within our generation, China will surpass the United States in terms of bulk.
      It's not difficult - there are one and a half billion. So Russia jokingly surpasses Iceland in shaft-covers and pulls Yes ... And on a per capita basis, Icelandic souls feel much better. Why are the citizens of such a successful state as China being caught by the UK immigration authorities?

    Good article, but passage:
    And this trump card is called - socialist planning. That is, a clearly developed concept and a plan for its implementation in accordance with the teachings of Marxism-Leninism, which is followed by the CPC, the leading country.

    Causes some bewilderment.
    Is it communism in China? Socialism? Well, no, whatever, but not that.
    In China, IMHO, state capitalism, densely mixed with Confucian morality. The CCP has the same relationship to communism as Aloisovich's NSDAP to workers' rights.
    As for planning, it can be perfectly capitalist - it is enough to work in any more or less large international company in order to understand the whole "charm" of capitalist planning, really tough and merciless, especially in the field of sales.
    But in general, I completely agree with the Author - China will burst into space by all possible means - this is a matter of national pride, and it is especially important that the Han want to do everything themselves, without these "joint" projects of yours - only for themselves and only for themselves, showing the whole world that with the cheap labor of the Morlocks, the West somewhat miscalculated.
    I think so.

    Bolt Cutter (Alex) In Denmark, earnings are 20 euros per hour, but this is the price of coffee with a roll.
    More per hour than the "locomotive" of Europe - Germany? I am a rogue .., although coffee (a glass of cardboard) 0,45-1,5 (€), + bun, the same amount (€), if not in a super-duper cafe-restaurant. "Average statistical" statistics is still not an indicator at all, but a distortion of reality!

    And you shouldn't even think about how erroneous or hopeless this teaching can be. Because it was on it that the Soviet Union at one time broke into space leaders. And it was precisely on the rejection of such a plan that Russia lost its leadership.


    Really thinking is harmful. When people think they start asking questions and draw conclusions) I can't put a minus to the article, but it is
