An AI lab out of China has ignited panic throughout Silicon Valley after releasing AI models that can outperform America's best despite being built more cheaply and with less-powerful chips. DeepSeek unveiled a free, open-source large-language model in late December that it says took only two months and less than $6 million to build. CNBC's Deirdre Bosa interviews Perplexity CEO Aravind Srinivas and explains why the DeepSeek has raised alarms on whether America's global lead in AI is shrinking.
They have a microwave oven on the Tiangong, which is a luxury (in space). On the ISS they use a heating pad to warm their food, because the station doesn’t have enough wattage for a microwave.
There are good reasons to think that China will get humans back on the moon before the US despite the claimed agenda of NASA.
The low budget of NASA, the insistence of the US state to use recycled space shuttle techs and factories and the insistence on having private corporations handle critical part of the moon missions, namely the moon lander(s); have put the project in a situation in which the constant shifts from the private contractors and politicians and the general mess that is the project makes NASA unable to come up with an actual, precise plan about how exactly they’re actually going to land peoples on the moon in practice, but at the same time they are under pressure from the state and private contractors to present something so they keep giving broad hand-wavy “plans” to pretend they know what they are doing.
Space race all over again
China’s beating the US at the actual second space race too
proof? I’m not a skeptic, just a lore enthusiast.
Their space station is seriously impressive, and that’s just one piece of their space program.

Lmao they don’t have batteries on the ISS?
No Prime shipping. 🫤
Edit (serious): Maybe they have enough capacitors, but not enough amps(?) to go around? Like, not enough solar panels.
IDK I’m bad at electricity and magnetism.
I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
To add: They have an actual plan on manned landings on the moon within the next 5 years (possibly within 3).
And its really funny to see all “Successes” down the list of these while SpaceSux has a worse record then the average Kerbal.

Here little bro, this is your controller

China has its own space station, and it’s newer and more advanced than the ISS.
The last time the US had an operational space station all of its own was 1979.
Edit: I see nasezero had already mentioned it, heh.
Edit2: Fuuuuuu—I’m about to start up Kerbal Space Program now.
The last time NASA brought samples back from the moon was 1972, China just brought their second batch back last year.
China is cratering the cost of Moon rocks. But at what cost?
Also, China’s moon rocks are extra special because they’re from the far side, where NASA never brought any rocks from
Ronks.

Chang’e 6
Chinese flag on Mars first.
China is focusing on developing infrastructure for a permanent and useful presence on the Moon first.
Space race but instead of human achievement it’s who can generate the most slop possible.
And China is winning with only one hand. The other is building high speed rail
