Two Chinese launches: Long March 2D and Long March 6 put satellites into orbit
China successfully completed two launches in the past twelve hours, placing four satellites into orbit in total.
First, in the evening of September 26th, a Long March 2D rocket launched a “remote sensing” satellite into orbit. This was then followed in the morning of September 27th with the launch of a Long March 6 rocket, putting three “experimental” Earth observation satellites into orbit. We know nothing more about any of these satellites.
The article at the link lists a third launch, of a Kuaizhou-1A rocket, but I have already reported that.
The leaders in the 2022 launch race:
43 SpaceX
41 China
12 Russia
7 Rocket Lab
6 ULA
American private enterprise still leads China 60 to 41 in the national rankings. Against the entire world combined, the U.S. now trails 60 to 61.
On Christmas Eve 1968 three Americans became the first humans to visit another world. What they did to celebrate was unexpected and profound, and will be remembered throughout all human history. Genesis: the Story of Apollo 8, Robert Zimmerman's classic history of humanity's first journey to another world, tells that story, and it is now available as both an ebook and an audiobook, both with a foreword by Valerie Anders and a new introduction by Robert Zimmerman.
The print edition can be purchased at Amazon or from any other book seller. If you want an autographed copy the price is $60 for the hardback and $45 for the paperback, plus $8 shipping for each. Go here for purchasing details. The ebook is available everywhere for $5.99 (before discount) at amazon, or direct from my ebook publisher, ebookit. If you buy it from ebookit you don't support the big tech companies and the author gets a bigger cut much sooner.
The audiobook is also available at all these vendors, and is also free with a 30-day trial membership to Audible.
"Not simply about one mission, [Genesis] is also the history of America's quest for the moon... Zimmerman has done a masterful job of tying disparate events together into a solid account of one of America's greatest human triumphs."--San Antonio Express-News

It baffles me that so many Americans at high levels of government, corporations and academia so easily betray America:
“Communist China Brings Home 162 Nuclear Scientists (Read: Spies) From New Mexico”
“The report asserted that between 1987 and 2021, at least 162 scientists who passed through the nuclear research lab returned and worked with the Chinese government.
Of these, 15 were permanent staff members, many carrying very high levels of security clearances.
Strider Technologies found that ‘at least one of these staff members held a U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) ‘Q Clearance’ allowing access to Top Secret Restricted Data and National Security Information.’
To their credit, Fox News does a fair job of calling the “recruitment” what it very likely is: ‘a decades-long campaign to insert and recruit allied researchers’.
In the vernacular, those are called ‘spies.’
And China’s not content with the nuclear game. Western universities have seen a fair share of researchers paid by China, and in July FBI Director Christopher Wray was warning that China is — almost literally — everywhere.”

I know it’s just cheerleading, but I want the US to stay in the lead against the whole world. Just as I was happy for SpaceX to be ahead of Russia and China combined for a while this year.
“Just as I was happy for SpaceX to be ahead of Russia and China combined”
Heh heh heh… john hare, I agree. I’m also happy that the godless Chicom commies most certainly monitor Robert’s blog and go apoplectic every time they read that sentence.
