WOW! While whites in the West are busy with feminism, gay rights, migrants, rapes and other really messed up sh!t, the Chinese have taken a step into the future. Have any of you looked at how China looks recently? Hellooooo??? Shenzhen, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Hong Kong anyone??? We in Europe look like savages compared to the Chinese. These bastards seem to be with like 200-300 years ahead of us. They produce anything and everything and not just WHATEVER stuff that anyone can make like clothes or toys.

What about a smartphone display hmmm? Would any country in Europe even know how to produce a fucking LCD or Super AMOLED screen? Let alone do it?? Do we even know how to make a chipset like the MediaTek for example? Bla bla, MediaTek is from Taiwan and Taiwan is independent and so is Hong Kong, who cares? In the end they are all ethnic HAN Chinese and somewhere in time, THEY WILL reunite, its just a matter of time. We have been really busy here in Europe, yup, busy with debauchery while the Chinese are moving towards a futuristic world like The Jetsons. Have you no eyes? We have been stagnating really badly, look at how each and every single European city and country looks like we’re still living in the 15th century with old buildings while China is now sending artificial moons into space! Nice, really nice…

RT’s report on this:

In a move that sounds straight out of a sci-fi paperback, China is planning to launch the first artificial ‘moon’ into orbit in order to replace street lights and reduce energy costs.

Chinese scientists say the man-made moon, which is essentially an illuminated satellite, will be in orbit by 2020. It will be eight times brighter than Earth’s moon and will shine down on the city of Chengdu, the capital of the southwestern Sichuan province.

It’s hoped the innovation will replace the need for streetlights and will reduce annual electricity costs by up to 1.2 billion yuan ($173 million).

Residents shouldn’t worry that it will “light up the entire night sky,” Wu Chunfeng, chief of the Tian Fu New Area Science Society, said to China Daily. “Its expected brightness, in the eyes of humans, is around one-fifth of normal streetlights,” he said, adding that it could even assist emergency services during blackouts and natural disasters.

The ‘moon’ will only illuminate a 50-square-kilometer area, as it’s much closer to Earth than our real moon. It will sit about 500km (310 miles) away, compared to the moon’s 380,000km (236,000 miles).

If the project proves successful, China plans to launch three more moons around the country by 2022. “The first moon will be mostly experimental, but the three moons in 2022 will be the real deal with great civic and commercial potential,” Wu said.

Before it makes its city debut, however, the moon will have to be tested in an uninhabited desert so that its light beams don’t interfere with people or Earth-based space observation equipment.
