Crappy Chinese space station falling out of the sky any day now
Check-out the detector device. Looks like a Samyang manual focus lens attached to a CCD camera of some kind.

They built their sensor themselves for relative peanuts around standard components. Instead of throwing sacks of money at their commercial vendor friends. With open ended development contracts. Like N$S$, or The Pentagoon$ would have done. |

It proves you don't need to mint gold in order to do some science. |

It proves you don't need to mint gold in order to do some science. What if I told you that unlimited quantities of gold can be produced out of thin air? Gold can be beaten so thin it becomes transparent. It's only real flaw to those who have lots of it. It just slips right through their fingers. This common, natural resource is now considered so absolutely worthless that it is abused without end. The means of production are no secret: It employs The Reverse Robin Hood Effect. More commonly known as "taxation." |

More commonly known as "taxation." I'm familiar. Canadians are now paying the equivalent of $3.86 per U.S. gallon (per U.S. dollar) for gasoline, the same as they paid when oil was $100/bbl. Only oil is 40% cheaper today than 2008. THAT is an example of out-of-control taxation since most of that horrific increase is due to increased taxes. |

The taxes should be much higher, to reflect the actual cost to society. Perhaps around $10 per gallon. |
