New to ATS but have been lurking for a while. Reviewed a number of news sites today talking about the chinese space launch for their first attempted
space walk. However upon reviewing the videos from the launch it occured to me, and feel free to review this oppinion, that the launch looked somewhat
faked, the proportion of the rocket ship just didn't look accurate in terms of size.
I am probably missing something and it may just be due to the distance from the launch site or another technical aspect , but my curiosity was then
further broght on by the fact that new is filtering through that the main chinese news agency had reported a succefull launch hours before the actual
launch time,
news link .
Seeing that much of the media that chinese chooses the western world to view in relation to their country is filtered through to us, is it a
possibilty that this mission was purely a means of attempting to cement their current standing in world politics?
