“Misdirection is the key to survival, never attack what your enemy defends, never behave as your enemy expects, and never reveal your true strength. If knowledge is power then to be unknown is to be unconquerable.”

  • Chinese commercial launch sector is very, very competitive area, where at least a dozen company still fighting over each other to find their own niche to fulfill. Land launch, sea launch, solid fuel, Lox/LH2 rocket, Lox/Methane rocket, expendable, reusable, Falcon 9 clone, mini-falcon 9, small payload rocket, gigantic rocket, and more. And this is only the commercial sector. I haven’t even touch what the CASC and other state-own agencies are probably working on. (probably, because a lot of what they are working on is dual civilian-military program, which came with fuck tons of secrecy as a result). My guess is this is their attempt to gain investors and find their own place, nothing more.

    Curiously, compare to more prominent players like Deep Blue Aerospace, LandSpace, Galactic Energy, or iSpace (seriously?), I don’t think the name Space Epoch came up very often. Like with almost ALL Chinese commercial launch companies, what they will produce, if it went anywere, remain to be seen.







  • Ramakien (wikipedia link)

    It’s the only one I remembered, thanks to secondary school. I remember that they are other mythology, mostly in the form of children stories, but I can’t remember the name or even the plot.

    [warning : incoming rant]

    Frankly, literatures is one of my least favorite subject in my entire school years, partly thanks to many local literatures that was so terribly written I have no idea why people still talk about them fondly. For heck sake, one of the first story we learn in primary school is a few step away from being a porn. Compare to these, at least Ramakien is somewhat enjoyable.
