China’s “Red Menace” Grows in Space! (24.3.2026)

In September 2022, cosmonauts on the Shenzhou-14 mission became the first Chinese crew to eat vegetables they had grown in orbit. The mission completed full growth cycles for crops, including wheat and dwarf tomatoes. It also achieved the first full life-cycle cultivation of rice in space, from seed to seed.

Subsequent crews have continued to expand the range of crops grown aboard the station, including lettuce varieties and cherry tomatoes. More recently, astronauts have experimented with sweet potatoes, with samples returned to Earth for further study.

Space-based plant cultivation is aimed at supporting long-duration missions by providing food and aiding oxygen and water recycling, while advancing research for deep-space exploration. Microgravity may also alter plant growth cycles, offering insights into plant biology and potential applications on Earth.

Socialist China Will Soon Land Cosmonauts on the Moon!

China: CPC Will Soon Land Cosmonauts on the Moon! (28.2.2028)

When China successfully landed a probe on the dark-side of the Moon during early 2019 (during Trump’s first term) – Trump ordered that billions of dollars be diverted to the Israeli and Indian space projects – tasking these anti-China entities with the task of also landing probes on the Moon (designed to give the false impression that the capitalist world can equal the Socialist world in scientific endeavour). Not only was US money supplied – but also US technological advice. These projects were rushed – and given how dangerous and unpredictable space travel is – there can be no short-cuts. There must be a steady and continuous (material) scientific advance toward the desired goal. The Soviets abandoned their Moon-shot because the danger to the cosmonauts was too high. Will, in 2019, both the Israeli and Indian probes crashed on impact – destroying all the equipment and completely failing in their Trump-inspired anti-China mission (at that time the head of Huawai was being falsely held for Trump by the Canadian government).

A Voyage to Arcturus

UK: In Praise of David Lindsay and his Book “A Voyage to Arcturus! (14.2.2026)

What was written on those 30 missing pages? No one knows because they remain missing. It is interesting to speculate as what is left reads like the music (and lyrics) from “Sergeant Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band”. Considering how bizarre and sexually suggestive the remaining content is – one is left pondering as to the true scale of non-conformity. Anyway, a number of early SciFi writes used the agency of “sleep” as a means to travel long distances or indeed travel through time – I think this idea dates back to the French author “Louis-Sébastien Mercier” (1740-1814) and his 1771 masterpiece entitled “The Year 2440: A Dream If Ever There Was One” (L’An 2440, rêve s’il en fut jamais). I think HG Wells also borrowed this concept for his 1898 book entitled “When the Sleeper Wakes”. Lindsay, it must be said, did flesh it out somewhat by suggesting it was possible to “travel on light beams” in “torpedo-shaped metal space craft” (the essence of the modern “Alien” franchise?). Of course, it must be stressed that Arcturus was in fact the “sun” around which the planet Tormance orbited. The protagonists did not travel to the sun – but to the planet Tormance – which is an interesting and unexplained contradicting. Why not the title “A Voyage to Tormance” – as this planet seems far more warmer than earth (the main character Maskull required a blood transfusion just tosurvive – provided wilfully by a Tormance women (an allusion to the power of menstruation – perhaps?)

China: Chinese Scientists Report First Likely Sighting of Black-Hole Devouring White Dwarf! (12.2.2026)

Chinese astronomers said they have likely captured the first direct evidence of a mid-sized black hole ripping apart and consuming a white dwarf star, shedding new light on a long-theorized but rarely observed cosmic process.

The discovery is based on observations of a powerful high-energy space explosion known as EP250702a, detected by China’s Einstein Probe satellite, according to the National Astronomical Observatories of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. The findings were published this month in the journal Science Bulletin.

Mid-sized black holes, thought to bridge the gap between stellar-mass and supermassive black holes, are difficult to detect because they produce few observable signals unless actively feeding on nearby matter.

Space Boulder "Not Gold" - According to Experts!

Australia: Penal Colony Descendent “Digs Himself in Deep Hole” – Korean War Gold Rock Revealed as Worthless Space Debris! (29.11.2025)

A rock the size of a stout Jack Russell (a breed of dog in the UK – small, fierce, brave, loyal, and strong) – but weighing more or less the same as a Great Dane (another – but huge – breed of dog) – was mistaken by an Aussie as a “gold nugget”. Perhaps it’s not the rock that needs testing! Still, all he has been left with is a piece of worthless space debris that landed on Earth during 1951 (in June – the time of the Aussie Winter) – which turns-out to be the same age as the Earth is old – namely “4.6 million” years old!. I am reliably told by a medical colleague that Aussies are only “technically sober” during the first three months of their lives – when the motor-skills have not yet developed to lift the hand to the mouth. Gold is a lightweight and malleable mettle, which is rare, soft, and highly pliable. This meteorite, by way of comparison, is heavy, hard, and requires a Ford Cortina just to move it any significant distance.

Socialist China Plans New Space Adventure!

China: Plans for Satellite Launch to Search for “New Earth”! (26.11.2025)

The Hongmeng Programme, designed to detect the universe’s “infant cries,” consists of 10 satellites forming a low-frequency radio telescope array. The satellites will travel to the far side of the Moon, a naturally quiet “radio sanctuary” shielded from Earth and solar interference, allowing the system to capture extremely faint signals from deep space. The project aims to shed light on the turbulent epoch hundreds of millions of years after the Big Bang, before the first stars formed.
