Everyone watching Middle KingdomThey know very well that they look like the United States at the beginning of the last century when it ruled there Paranoia everywhere. The Chinese government dreams of creating the greatest thing in the world. This time the wallpaper features the largest spaceship in history for thousands of people.
Currently, China is building a big one Chinese space station, but they are already dreaming of something much bigger than that. Something futuristic that resembles vehicles known to us from science fiction movies. It is located around giant spaceshipThanks to this, astronauts (astronauts) can start their journeys around the solar system and the government can turn their country into a world The nation among the planets.
Such plans were presented in August of this year by the Scientific Foundation of the National Natural Science Foundation of China. This organization has achieved many successes and implemented revolutionary projects that changed China’s face towards it in many areas of life Super power more powerful. You can believe that this great project will come true.
The concept already presented and approved for financing assumes construction 1.5 km long spacecraft up to several kilometers. It will be created in orbit from thousands of interconnected units that will be delivered there from Earth or built directly in space. As you probably guessed, it will be built in special factories, at least Giant 3D printers.
Now we learn that the construction of the ship may start after 2030. Of course, it will last for many years, but you have to start somewhere. Construction is to be made possible by strong Long March 9 . missile. It will be used in 2030, then it will be possible to start launching the first modules of the giant spacecraft into orbit. It is already being worked on. China confirmed this in early December.
Experts believe that if Elon Musk He wanted to build such a giant ship with his own StarshipRegardless of the costs, it can already be built in 10 years. In the case of China, it may be 15 years, but when we take into account the raw materials mined, for example, on the moon or asteroids.
