You can see the benefits of 20 years newer technology in the clean outside an uncluttered interiors of the Chinese station.

Next up, we have multiple commercial proposals for a general purpose space station. Can one of those find funding?

Yes it’s amazing what 20 years can do!
The sad thing is that they now have a station after not being allowed to be on the ISS and we are going to be sending our station into the Pacific Ocean and then have nothing but meanwhile they have a brand new station!
Thanks for responding to my post !

Very interesting and informative. Don't believe we should let politics get in the way of science. The USA should not lose sight of the importance of Earth orbit science even while concentrating on Lunar exploration.
