Retired US Air Force general says China is 'building a navy in space' and he claims technology exsts that could transport humans anywhere in the world in an hour

美国空军退役中将称，正在建设一支太空海军，有一种技术可在一小时内把人送到世界任何地方

A recently retired U.S. Air Force general has said that China is building a 'navy in space' and warned that America must act quickly to avoid losing in a new space race.

一位最近退役的美国空军将领表示，正在建设一支“太空海军”，并警告说，美国必须迅速行动，以免在新的太空竞赛中失利。

Lieutenant General Steven L. Kwast, who retired from the Air Force in September, made the remarks in a speech last month at Hillsdale College in Michigan.

已于9月从空军退役的中将史蒂文·L·夸斯特上月在密歇根州的希尔斯代尔学院演讲时发表了上述言论。

'They are building a navy in space, with the equivalent of battleships and destroyers, that will be able to maneuver and kill and communicate with dominance, and we are not,' Kwast said of China.

夸斯特在谈到时称，他们正在打造一支太空海军，这是一支基于“战列舰和驱逐舰”的天基海军部队，能够“机动攻击，进行武力威慑，我们没有这样的舰队”。

According to Kwast, China is develo 'nuclear thermal power propulsion systems' for space flight, technology that he says the U.S. is capable of develo but is not pursuing.

夸斯特表示，正在开发用于太空飞行的“核动力推进系统”，美国有能力开发这种技术，但没有开发。

I believe him. I also believe that UFOs aren't extra terrestrial in origin but experimental aircrafts. The upper echelons of the military are far ahead technologically than the civilian sector. Also, like it or not, the US is NOT a sole superpower anymore. Ch1na is now an economic, technological, manufacturing and military superpower and Russ1a while not an economic and manufacturing superpower, surely is a military one.

我相信这位退役将军说的话。军方的技术远远领先民用部门。此外，美国不再是唯一的超级大国。现在是一个经济、技术、制造业和军事超级大国，而俄罗斯虽然不是经济和制造业超级大国，但肯定是一个军事超级大国。

The chicoms have unlimited ambition and could soon have the resources available to match that ambition. That will not be good. We should stop buying so much of their stuff, of which 90% of it is junk anyway.

野心勃勃，可能很快就会有足够的资源来实现这一野心。这对我们不利，我们不要再买他们的东西了，反正90%的货都是垃圾。

Has anyone found out what the capability is, of a SECRET Chinese satellite mission to geosynchronous orbit? The launch was announced, and done (2019), but no payload details disclosed. Could this be an 'asset' to destroy or disable communications satellites if hostilities break out?

有人知道已经掌握发射地球同步卫星的能力吗?

发射已完成(2019年)，但没有披露有效载荷的细节。如果开战，有能力摧毁通讯卫星或使通信卫星失效吗?

So, he is saying China's goals in space are exactly the same as the USA's, and frightened they may just achieve some of it it more quickly than the US.

他的意思是说的太空目标和美国的完全一样，并担心他们先于美国实现目标。

The 'anywhere on earth in less than an hour' tech was probably thought up by Trump to stop him getting Cold Cheeseburgers'...Lol

“在一小时内到达地球上任何地方”的技术可能是特朗普想出来的，这是为了保证他能吃到热乎乎的干酪汉堡……哈哈

Theres got to be a few sci-fi movies from this. USA against China in battle for the moon? China will move quickly to take "the red planet" for co sm and USA moves to preserve a free and dem-atic Mars for all Martians? Star wars is over.

科幻电影可以从这里获得灵感。美国和争夺月球?将迅速采取行动，占领“红色星球”，而美国将为所有火星人维护自由。《星球大战》结束了

10,000 miles in an hour. What would be the G Forces involved in the acceleration/deceleration of such a trip? Could the human body tolerate such froces?

每小时1万英里。在这样的加速/减速过程中重力是多少?人体能忍受吗?

为什么是海军?在太空中漂浮就像在海洋中一样吗?真奇怪。
