You do know how fast China can mass produce and scale something once China gets hang of it, don't you?

China tries different approaches, if those "legs" can be copied, you'll have hundreds of countries having those legs.Sure, but why isn't this landing leg tech idea something the US should be thinking of copying from "innovative" China? You know the country will millions of STEM engineers filing millions of patents and research papers.

Pakistani astronauts to fly aboard China’s space station soon: senior Chinese astronaut

Two Pakistani astronauts are currently training at the China Astronaut Research and Training Center and will take part in missions aboard China’s space station in the near future, Yang Liwei, deputy chief designer of China’s manned space program and a senior astronaut, said on Monday.
“We have also announced that two Pakistani astronauts are currently undergoing training at the astronaut center. In the near future, they will fly aboard China’s space station together with our astronauts,” Yang said during a press briefing on China’s new-era space exploration efforts held by the State Council Information Office.
In April, the China Manned Space Agency announced that two Pakistani candidates had been selected as the first foreign astronauts for China's space mission training, marking a landmark achievement in international cooperation on the Chinese space station.
At a press conference on May 23 for the Shenzhou-23 manned spaceflight mission, a spokesperson said that two Pakistani astronauts had entered the China Astronaut Research and Training Center on China Space Day to participate in mission training alongside Chinese astronauts. Under the current plan, one Pakistani astronaut will join a short-duration space mission as a payload specialist.
At the press briefing on Monday, Yang also praised Li Jiaying, or Lai Ka-ying in Cantonese, the first astronaut from China’s Hong Kong to take part in a space mission, for her outstanding performance in space.
In May this year, Lai traveled into space aboard the Shenzhou-23 spacecraft and took part in a scientific research mission involving the Multi-spectral Imaging Carbon Observer, known as the Tianyun camera, the first Hong Kong-developed payload sent into space.
According to Yang, the Shenzhou-23 crew aboard China’s space station sent their best wishes to astronauts on the ground on Monday. The crew has been working smoothly and has made good progress on its mission. Over the years, Hong Kong and the Chinese mainland have engaged in extensive cooperation in the field of manned spaceflight, with several Hong Kong universities directly participating in the construction of the space station, Yang said.
Yang further revealed that more people from the Chinese mainland, Hong Kong and Macao are expected to join China’s manned space program. As an astronaut, he also hopes that more young people will pursue careers in the field.

Lunar Soil Donated to UN Boosts Global Space Exploration

A ceremony to present the first lunar soil samples collected from the far side of the moon by Chang'e-6 to the United Nations (UN) was held in Vienna, Austria on September 14. More than 400 guests, including heads of various international organizations, representatives of various countries, and representatives from all walks of life, attended the event.
Aarti Holla-Maini, director of the UN Office for Outer Space Affairs (UNOOSA), praised China's gesture. The Chang'e-6 mission is an unprecedented human achievement in the field of lunar exploration in recent years. From sampling on the far side of the moon, to bringing the samples to Earth, and finally donating them to the UN, it embodies scientific exploration and international cooperation.
She said the donation reflected the concept that "outer space truly belongs to all mankind." The donated item was a "teacher" as well as a specimen, providing an opportunity for students, representatives and visitors from all over the world who come to the UN each year to observe and learn.
Richard Trappl, an Austrian sinologist and former director of the Confucius Institute at the University of Vienna, said although the moon is about 380,000 kilometers away from Earth, "today, not only has the moon come to Vienna, but it has also come to the United Nations."
Monica Juma, director-general of the UN Office at Vienna, said the Chinese decision to permanently exhibit the lunar soil samples at the UN headquarters is significant as they represent the human race's sci-tech creativity and determination to explore the universe. They also reflect China's support for the UN in promoting international cooperation to address common challenges.
Harvey Dzodin, a senior fellow at the Center for China and Globalization in Beijing, said the uniqueness of the samples lies in their origin. Probably for most people viewing them, it was the first time they had seen items from the far side of the moon. The samples can also serve as an "envoy" for China, showcasing its sci-tech strength.
Pakistan's permanent representative to the UN said Pakistan is honored to be one of the closest partners of China in aerospace. The Pakistani satellite ICUBE-Q accompanied the Chang'e-6 mission and successfully completed Pakistan's first lunar exploration. China has made cutting-edge advancements in lunar science, and contributed to the well-being of all. Pakistan, he added, looks forward to deepening cooperation with China in tasks such as deep space exploration and manned spaceflight, achieving more results.
The Italian permanent representative to the UN, said lunar exploration is a common human cause. Italian astronauts once used the sentence "Looking up at the vastness of the universe and observing the abundance of all things" from the Preface to the Poems Composed at the Orchid Pavilion, the famous fourth-century Chinese literary and calligraphic masterpiece, to describe the magnificent landscape of the universe. China and Italy have carried out numerous cooperation projects in areas such as lunar exploration and astronaut training.
