Did you knowNeural is taking the stage this fall?
And by giant, were talking GIANT.
Up front:This project is at the inception stage.
The NNSFC has proposed a feasibility study.
It’s free, every week, in your inbox.
And, by todays technological standards, it isnt.
As Live Sciences Edd Gent painstakingly points out, it would be ridiculously expensive.
to life support issues (how do humans survive the radiation if its in high orbit?).
But, China doesnt have to build a mile-long space ship.
It can build a half-mile long one, or a quarter-mile long one.
Or whichever will work best for what it wants to accomplish.
A quantum advantage:Chinas quantum communications research is arguably second-to-none.
Researchers in Shanghai were conducting breakthrough quantum-based communications from space to Earth as far back asfive years ago.
You wouldnt need people on board a spaceship thats essentially a mile-long quantum supercomputer operated by algorithms.
And you could probably offset the cost a bit by slapping a few hundred thousand crypto-mining rigs on it.

But…
In this case, beefing up the US ability to deal with space threats is a good thing.
China appears fully-committed to being a primary global aggressor in the digital war space.
What if we put a collider on it?
What if it was a telescope?
