We all live on this rock. Floating through space.

Anyone who doesn’t want to spend more time looking out is someone with something in their closet you don’t want to look in.

Don't worry guys, the US Space Force will make sure they are prevented from entering space.

They must have made some huge advances since the last time I checked in on them because they haven't exactly been considered sophisticated in the art of rocketry for a couple centuries now. They first had a person in space in 2003 and they're still using the same Shenzou line of rockets since that time. They've had some controversies about where their boosters are landing and covering people with Hydrazine which is also an outdated fuel type, imo.

Yeah you missed the part where they have a fucking space station and a growing private sector of reusable launch vehicles that are copying SpaceX.
