Yesterday China's Long March 5 carried the first module of their space station into orbit, a 20 ton module derived from the Russian DOS designs, which will be the core of a much larger 60 ton orbital facility able to host astronauts for months at a time.

Nice one Scott, I really enjoyed that and I love the way you brought us together on the thought process of the reality we do want and that is a peaceful working relationship with other countries in outer space as well as on the ground…

The total scale of the station is not decided yet. At least 66 tons including 3 modules, each one 22 tons, excluding Tianzhou and Shenzhou. In 2024 a telescope will be implemented to make it around 80 tons. Later on, if needed, the sister of Tianhe will be docked to make it over 100 tons. Rumor says also there will be an Italian module but not sure yet. So the scale can be from 66 tons up to 120 tons.

Soon we will have to rename the ISS to the "A Few Nations Space Station"

Nice Scott, great to see that you don't have bias and hope for mankind as whole working together for the space exploration and to solve the problems we face today.

"I think Canada is too far south." - Not a sentence I would have expected.

Mechanical compatibility of docking systems is a wise move by China. It is great to see China joining nations with a permanent presence in space. It was about time too!

friendly tip, when pronouncing mandarin, the "q"s are soft like "ch" as in "cheese", so "jiuquan" would be more like "jiu-chuan"

Keeping the docking stations standardized was the best decision ever ! if it was a proprietary attachment then you would need adapters !
