Three astronauts are left stranded in space after their ship was 'struck by unknown object'

Three astronauts already in space for six months are now stranded in orbit after their craft may have been damaged by dangerous debris floating around Earth.

China's Manned Spaceflight Agency (CMSA) has revealed that crew from its Shenzhou 20 mission will need to stay on board the Chinese station Tiangong.

Their replacements had already arrived at the space lab after taking off in their own rocket on October 31.

Astronauts Chen Dong, Chen Zhongrui, and Wang Jie have been on Tiangong, which means Heavenly Palace, since April, completing science experiments, carrying out space walks, and living in zero gravity.

At some point before the trio officially handed over the station to the Shenzhou 21 crew on November 5, the capsule the astronauts were supposed to use to return to Earth was struck by an unknown object in Earth orbit.

The collision left a noticeable mark on the space vehicle's hull, leading the team to fear Shenzhou 20 may have also sustained internal damage that could endanger their flight home.

The two astronaut crews will now have to comb through the spacecraft to check for any critical problems before attempting to use the craft again. The next return data has not yet been released.

It's the second time this year that an astronaut crew has been stranded in space due to a problem with their space capsule, taking place just seven months after NASA's Suni Williams and Butch Wilmore were rescued from the International Space Station.

You may find 'nobility' in a savage. But never forget that his first instinct is to kill you.
You cannot "COEXIST" with people who want to kill you.
If they kill their own with no conscience, there is nothing to stop them from killing you.

Buzz short year.
You don’t become cooler with age but you do care progressively less about being cool, which is the only true way to actually be cool.

The chinks don't have the ability to dock with his space craft.

I'm sure Elon and his crew could rig up an adapter in less than a week.

It would appear they do.  First I've heard of it too!

They are sneaky little shits.  The Niedermeyer's of space.

The USA is funding everything in China.

If Trump had a real set of brass, he would reduce trade with China by 75%.  It is a matter of national security to continue to trade with China on the scale we do.  USA companies that have operations in China would pay a huge tax to continue to operate their facilities there, and bring the manufactured product here.

We are stupid.  You think China would allow their companies to come here, EVER?  Hell no!  We are genuinely a stupid people in the USA, and getting dumber by the day.  We must curtail trade with China, we must end educating their masses in our universities, and we truly need to focus on developing our own people, who have been dumbed down so that blacks can fit in to our society.  That is the truth of it all.

Think about it.  We have a Supreme Court justice that could not define what a woman is.  And it will get worse if we have a Democommie POTUS who is compelled to put a certain demographic on the court.  I would not be surprised if the next Democommie POTUS given the opportunity to fill a seat on the court would select a candidate that is a transgender.  Time for them to be properly represented.  And that idiot being asked how many genders exist today would not be able to answer the question.  Last count, it was like 34 in New York.
