      Imagine rather leaving than fixing everything. They must know something if they do they should tell us.

      Sad that American space exploration is going the way it’s going. At least someone’s taking up the reins.

      This would be an extremely exciting mission if it took place, though the weight requirements would be immense; the drill worm, drones riding on it, ridiciously long cable (Europa ice estimates are like 30km thick), a nuclear reactor or multiple RTG’s, a massive lander to hold it all, as well as the orbiter. Would require a LM10 atleast, maybe a 9.

      Hell yeah! That’ll be so incredibly exciting to watch unfold.

      So happy to see China venturing so boldly into the unknown!

      Good to see they are picking up space exploration too. Nasa is pretty much dead and elon is a fraud.

      Hope this mission gets done, it would be great to learn more about Enceladus.

      lol. The CCP says a lot of glowing things about itself. None of which turn out to be true. They can barely launch a rocket without it crashing down on the local population. Let’s see a story about the massive increase in coal fired power plants or the nation wide poisoned water supply. Don’t buy into propaganda.

      It is going to be a long race with China in space. The US really needs to solve the cost and efficiency issues asap, or authoritarianism will be the norm of not just earth, but the entire solar system.

      Well, at least one country is still focused on space exploration.

      We’ve handed so many industries and fields of science to China it’s absolutely insane.
