China's Space Fighter??

someone sent me this photo

This aircraft may time embark two astronauts to enter 800 kilometers orbiting for 30 hours, will be all center close-orbit

It doesnt even look like it will be able to fly, it looks like an antique.

complete bull#, this is russian MIG-105 EPOS (Experimental Passenger Orbital Aircraft ) which by the way flyied, its a two stage manned orbital spacecraft

That's not free... I vote only for people who have less points than me.

The WATSA passed under my nose so many times that now I have a vote strategy...

That is just a bad photoshop of MiG object 105 at Monino. You can see the rest of Monino in the background.

Object 105 was a subsonic in-atmosphere test vehicle for Spiral 50-50.
The test vehicle is the analog of US vehicles such as the X-24 and HL-10 lifting bodies.

Don't confuse the atmospheric Object 105 with BOR-4 (bezpilotnyi orbitalnyi raketoplan). BOR-4 was a slightly different shape and unmanned. It flew four successful space flights in the mid 1980s. Among other things BOR-4 helped test heat shield material for Buran.

The Chinese are nowhere near developing a small space plane.
