The bottom line is that China is constructing a space station and this is the first step. As an American, I have a strange relationship with China. China is like our smarter younger sibling and even though they’re making us look bad we’re still happy for them. They have one of the most efficient and well-managed space programs in the world and are probably the best people to trust with the next generation space station.
