So the Chinese chose a beautiful name instead of military or bureaucratic name like ISS.

The sweet and sour pork was OK but the Mongolian lamb was better. Bit too much MSG tho.

You can polish a turd but its still a turd. I for one would not want to be in space inside a Chinese made piece of junk with no warranty.

Except for recyclable turd machine.

First make turd in bowl... When done the business, press compressor button that send turd through heavenly-magic box of secret Chinese herb and spice... edible turd extracted from hollowed ivory tusk at other end... Mix with hot water and let infuse... Drink at leisure.

You've got a good point there... Only backwards...

How do you think all those Nazi SS rocket scientists got a pass to reside in the US?

I wouldn't even accept the warranty. 3 days or 3 miles? If it explodes how far are the body parts spread?

The V2s were more of a psychological weapon than a weapon of mass destruction, for the effort the Germans put into manufacturing them they caused little damage and mostly on civilians. But it was retribution for attacks on German cities by the allies.
