Is Wenchang becoming China's Cape Canaveral? 

Look like miami florida also china hainan

nice I migrated to canada in 2008 hahah just saying

My dad came to my SEA. He was lucky to die in his ancestral home. Hainan is so advanced now from the early 90s. So proud of Hainan and China to together with her people in China and all over the world. Jia you .🇨🇳🇨🇳🇨🇳🇨🇳🇨🇳🇨🇳🇨🇳🇨🇳🇨🇳💪💪💪💪💪💪💪🥂🥂🥂

@@TaTa-ce1kq We are all suki.

I just want to be around when China builds their mile long spacecraft...

@@112313 Wow, me too

What is the small, innovative, rocket startup market like for foreigners?

Thanks Jacqueline! I agree, 10-15 mins is the best duration (and also reduces the crazy editing time of the videos 😀)

Thanks @kumbackquatsta! We could definitely consider making posters in the future if there's the demand 😉

@@DongfangHour Once you're done with your clothing line. You should try to look up models of their space rockets and stuff. I would see some people on RU-vid with models of the Saturn V rockets, the shuttle orbiter and the ISS. I've tried looking to see but no go. Granted that China's space program is in it's infancy so modellers like AMT, Trumpeter and Revell don't offer any.

@John Smith I believe the OP is demonstrating on how to properly say those words on the left. For example, the word "Xi" is pronounced "Shee."

Actually if you know proper mandarin it should be siee short

...and the literal meanings of those places: JiuQuan: Fountain of Wine (or any other alcoholic drink can be named "Jiu", pretty sure here it referred to a non-distilled crude rice wine from the Western Han Dynasty, there was a folk story of a general marching in the desert to the west, at the point of almost everybody was suffering dehydration his sword fell to the ground, and the army ended up discovering a place with underground water which tasted like wine), TaiYuan: Great Plateau, XiChang: Prosperous West, WenChang: Prosperous in Culture

Thanks! 😁

@@DongfangHour Definitely will get one for supporting the channel, great job!

I insist, this channel is one of a kind. Usually in English we find very few « Normal/positif/non propaganda » things about China. Even less about space program. So, love your channel, and I think with time with China space program developing and becoming one of the major one in the world, more and more people will follow your channel, if you keep a good quality video as now.

Thanks Jack, glad to hear it 🙏🏻

The comparison with European countries is always helpful to capture the size of Chinese provinces. Another eye-opening one is Sichuan, roughly the size of Spain…

Most maps are distorted and shows the northern most parts as bigger than southern parts. So Europe looks larger than it is.

@@armchairwarrior963 I've heard of that as well. It's to make the global south look less significant compared to the north.

@@armchairwarrior963 The Mercator projection was used by European sailors because straight lines on the map lead to the right coordinates on a globe which allowed them to not get lost in the ocean, not because of racist bigotry. But yes most educated people in the west agree that this map sucks now. That's why Google recently changed Google maps from mercator to a globe for instance

@@armchairwarrior963 especially the Mercator projection which dates to 1568 - it was useful for maritime navigation.

Basically the same climate. Hot and ocean, and beaches.

Indeed, not unlike Florida. However, unlike Forida, Whenchang is administered by the CNSA which achieves sustainable results, unlike NASA.

Hey Andy, we have an episode on this very topic from a couple of months back (focusing on commercial companies). We could definitely do another one on upcoming reusable Long March rockets!

I'm more interested in their space plane.

@@DongfangHour that would be interesting! I haven't heard much about reusable LM rockets save for rumblings a while back about the reusable LM-8... but I haven't heard anything about that in a while

Thanks @Black Warrior! I agree, delivery to China-based customers would be awesome. The actual shipping is totally possible, but I would need to look into how to accept Alipay/WeChat Pay payments. I’m reading up a lot of Shopify documentation, would be cool find something in there to solve this problem.

明白人！就是那个一小时炸遍全球的大玩具 不过是抄袭美国人的创意 不值一提

@@stephenzhang6898 战忽局辛苦了😂

Many thanks for your support, Albert! 🙏

Thanks! More info is coming soon, we are just wrapping up the website... stayed tuned 😊

Yes, they were there in Wengchang, I searched about it because of YAMG drama series

I did have a look at that TV series, lots of good shots of Wenchang (and more) indeed 😎

Had heard that it`s used as a quick transportation between earth and low orbit, China planned to build massive low orbit object, maybe huge new stations with a width of kilometer. Another saying is, it`s used as a weapon that throwing stuff from the space to the earth ground.

No he just meant what he said. That mythical/famous missions were launched form Cape Canaveral. Nothing more and nothing less. He's just giving credits to NASA. ✌

Maybe it could be said "epic" or "historic" crewed (not crude) space craft missions launched. "Mythical" might have a different connotation to a native French speaker. We are fortunate to have Jean Deville fluent in at least three main languages.

@@swissbiggy : irony is lost on many

@@sciagurrato1831 Or not everyone is fucked up like those Muhricans at the otherside of the pond. If you get what I mean.

Ah, I meant "legendary crewed missions". That's possibly me mixing up French and English, as @Jonathan pointed out. In French, mythical and legendary have a similar (positive) meaning 🙂

Heya! The online store will be able to deliver worldwide, not just China. Shipping costs will actually be cheaper if you are based in North America or Europe 😉 It should be open soon, I’m just wrapping up some final administrative details…

I’d love to actually 😍 but would need to look more into how Taobao can be handled from abroad (I have a feeling that the seller needs to have a company incorporated in China)

The boosters and fairings were safely dropped into the sea on the 41 degree inclination before the LM-5B rocket body passed over the Philippines. Wenchang at latitude 19N is much better than 26N at Starbase, Texas, or 28N at Cape Canaveral or 28N at Xichang.

The t-shirt is unisex, so it should fit nicely with both male and female space enthusiasts 😉

LM-X? Don't you mean LM-9?

Correct. Hainanese chicken rice is best literally 👍
