Over the period 2021-2022 alone, 11 launches will take place, sending 3 core modules of the space station as well as 4 crewed missions (Shenzhou) and 4 cargo missions (Tianzhou). But did you know that China&#8217;s crewed spaceflight projects date all the way back to the 1960s? In the episode, we cover &#8220;everything you need to know&#8221; about the Chinese Space Station, from a historical perspective to a detailed timeline of the station assembly. All the essentials of the CSS should be covered here, but we will have other dedicated episodes to decipher more specific technical details and features of the space station.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"1600\" height=\"900\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/FQK4N4lafLI?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"><\/iframe><\/span><\/p>\n<p>** <a href=\"https:\/\/www.houstonchronicle.com\/business\/real-estate\/looped-in\/article\/Listen-How-outer-space-is-reshaping-Texas-real-16361580.php\"><strong>Listen: How outer space is reshaping Texas real estate<\/strong> &#8211; Houston Chronicle<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/omny.fm\/shows\/looped-in\/how-outer-space-is-reshaping-texas-real-estate-how\/embed\" width=\"600\" height=\"180px\" frameborder=\"0\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>** <a href=\"https:\/\/thespaceshow.com\/show\/08-aug-2021\/broadcast-3735-open-lines\"><strong>The Space Show &#8211; Sunday, Aug.8.2021<\/strong><\/a> &#8211; Open lines program with David Livingston discussing a range of topics with listeners and callers. &#8220;<em>One key topic was the growth of naysayers about commercial space, tourism and such.
