Obscured space news lately:

Japan's Hayabusa-2 returns with asteroid samples.

China launches another Gaofeng optical survey satellite.


Chang'e 5 Lander could continue to do missions analyzing the moon's surface, and its mission is not over. Chang'e 5 Ascender has extra fuel left so a whole new mission is being planned for it.


Orbiter has separated from the Ascender to begin its journey home.

Self-driving vending machines


Self driving vending machines are launching in China. Shown at Baidu Create, these auto vending machines help with last mile delivery and look like autonomous cars. They can hold 2,400 liters worth of products that can be purchased with a smartphone, and they travel up to 50km/h.

What is harder for China? Mastering EUV or fusion? I would say EUV is a known known, whereas fusion may never be possible...

if China can solve fusion and scale it up by 2050, then the 2060 net zero goal seems to be realistic...
by then, surely EUV will be old outdated technology and the world would have moved on to something else...
by then hopefully China has a good 3000 to 10000 nuke stockpile... and a navy and armed forces larger, more advanced than the US

6G quantum AI satellites and a UBI automation society ...

Goodbye petrodollar goodbye digital OPEC...

China can aim for the stars or at least sail for the Mars

It's not a matter of scaling up. Right now fusion cannot even break even, meaning it produces less power than it requires. A lot more research is needed.
