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.

Shortest Chinese music title :

This day is to be remembered.

Apologies, I’m not really familiar with that franchise. Can you elaborate?

Good? Not sure. Completely justified in their counteroffensive against Super Earth? Absolutely.

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.

Where have I heard that before…

Well…pretty much the entire pharmaceutical market in US is exactly that - artificially expensive.

This one is Soviet’s ASU-76. It didn’t get pass prototype stage, but led to the development of ASU-57.

Well, thel called us “Tankie”, so…

I mean, I’m more of a “nuclear submarine-kie” myself, but that doesn’t have the same ring to it.

Every times I tried to give the British some benefit of the doubt, thinking maybe my opinion of them has been too harsh in the past, something like this always happened.
