China Aims To Build World's Largest Rocket

http://news.xinhuanet.com/english201...c_13759948.htm

China is planning to build a rocket that surpasses the mighty Saturn V
in payload capacity (130 metric tons). Intended for a manned Moon
landing and deep space exploration the new rocket is currently in the
design stage and won't be ready unti 2020-2025 is my guess. The Chinese
are currently still working on the Long March V, which at 25 metric
tons to LEO has about half the payload capacity of the Falcon Heavy.

Exactly, just like how Russians turn a nifty profit at taking
passengers safely up to ISS and back after a few days. Too bad our
NASA is not smart enough to figure out how to get any direct return on
investment.

So, they going to do another Shenzhou flight before their astronauts die
of old age?

China may have the bucks, but there is absolutely no indication many
of those bucks are going to their space program. Treat this the same
as last weeks "report" that Russia was going to build a moon base.

Show me the money.

They will be the first to have an orbiting space station wheel, a moon
base and mars settlements. We'll be wiping the dust of our faces.

No, the Moon base is now only a stop on their way to Mars:

Well that's certainly a different take on Space Travel & Time Dilation I had
not thought of before...

The key sentence is the first: China is studying the feasibility of
designing a powerful carrier rocket...

In other words, it's a paper study. The Chinese aren't building
anything like Saturn V, at least not yet.

There's a big difference between dreaming and being dilusional.
