CASC President Commenting on China's Major Space Programs

CASC President Ma Xingrui was interviewed by a Hong Kong magazine recently and talked about the prospects of China's major space projects. Mr. Ma is the deputy Commander-in-Chief of China's Manned Space Program, Commander-in-Chief of China's Lunar Exploration Program, and Commander-in-Chief of China's new-generation launch vehicles. Mr. Ma said that the LM-5 launch vehicle, with LEO loading capacity of 25t, will carry out its maiden flight around the end of 2014.

Applying Multilogical and Metamemetic Approaches to Understand How We Think and Feel in Space

First, this paper suggests a hypothetical formula that aims to explain how we are conditioned to think. Finding different ways to think about relevant decisions and problems through multilogical approaches could help make the decision-making or problem easier to understand and manage than any conventional one-directional way of thinking (or monological thinking). Secondly, one theory to help understand the quality of how we think is through associating ideas of reality with what we observe. This is helpful through a theory such as Memetics, or the study of memes (and evolutionary replicator points [genes, memes, tremes]), as coined by Richard Dawkins in his 1976 book, The Selfish Gene, and proposed by other authors including Dr. Susan Blackmore (“The meme machine”, 1999). Plenty of indications and evidences seem to show how we are entering the third replicator point (technomemes), consisting in a psycho-sociological process of merging human beings and societies (memeplexes) with technological advancement. Digital and non-digital relationships to our values/ideas/ideologies and beliefs make us think differently and often via manners that can damage our reasoning skills and proper ways to process information (see problematic topics such as “post-truth era”, disinformation, information overload, anti-science and anti-intellectual trends, conspiracies and so on), but we still do not have any educational and/or individual training to understand critically and apply such an understanding in such relationships (through states of mind). This paper intends to explore a theory of Metamemetics and Multilogical Thinking theorized by Diego Fontanive (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memetics see: *terminology, see: *Meta-memetic thinking). Lastly, this approach is explored and applied with examples of approaches to problems people hypothetically have. This exploration is put into the context of space exploration and studying the psychology of individuals who are in solitary situations for long periods.

拉美国家参与国际深空探测机会

The pace at which a space agency or any space sector company develops depends greatly on the level of space governance in the nation where it operates and international cooperation.The Venezuelan government is aware of the significance of space activities and impact in growth of the country’s various economic sectors.As the People’s Republic of China expressed interest in transferring technology to Venezuela to build local capabilities for satellite operations in the field of telecommunications and later in the field of remote sensing,cooperation between the two countries has played a significant role in the development of the Venezuelan Space Program.At the moment,Venezuela is working to consolidate activities related to the design,assembly,integration,and testing of spacecraft.In the quest to strengthen the ties of cooperation between the two nations,the People’s Republic of China invited the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela during the month of April 2023 to form part of the cooperation on the International Lunar Research Station project,which represents an opportunity for the Latin American country to participate in new projects and be able to contribute in some of the categories established for the mentioned program.

Existence results for generalized vector equilibrium problems with applications

By a coincidence theorem, some existence theorems of solutions are proved for four types of generalized vector equilibrium problems with moving cones. Applications to the generalized semi-infinite programs with the generalized vector equilibrium constraints under the mild conditions are also given. The results of this paper unify and improve the corresponding results in the previous literature.

Investigation on the development of deep space exploration

Deep space exploration is the term used for the exploration of the Moon and the celestial bodies or space beyond the Moon, which is an important part of human space activities. Firstly, the development of deep space exploration (not including the Moon) during the last few decades is summarized. Secondly, the development trend of different space countries and regions is analyzed. Then the experience and enlightenment of deep space exploration are briefly discussed. Some suggestions for China's future deep space exploration are given in the end.

Major Events of China’s Space Program

October 8, 1956 An institute on missile and rocket research is set up, the first of the country. July 19,1964 A biological rocket carrying albino rats is
