More precisely, the kind of a double fireball that was seen in U.S. tests Grable of operation Uphsot-Knothole and Priscilla of operation Plumbbob.
"the future will be a step towards the sea of stars" - exquiste. Is there an author I can attribute this to?
Quote from: Dalhousie on 12/23/2013 12:00 am"the future will be a step towards the sea of stars" - exquiste. Is there an author I can attribute this to?A series of posts titled 'looking the future of China from the past dragon years' by a netizen called 'Diamond' , were posted on www.cchere.com from August 2013. An eBook was published on the same website in October 2013, proofread and typeset by 云中飞. The book recounts the achievements and reveals the future of China's industrialization.Here's the link for the eBook:http://www.ccthere.com/article/3930313The sentence you quoted is the last one of the afterword. I think it should be better translated as 'the future will be step by step towards the sea of stars'.
Possible, but I doubt it's directly from Arthur Clarke (which virtually unknown in China). From the phase used in Chinese, 我的征途是星辰大海, it's seems to be taken directly from novel by Chinese novelist 今何在 and Japanese Yoshiki Tanaka. They possible these authors are inspire by Arthur Clarke which further inspires fans of space travel.edit: I just read 今何在's blog. It appears he is directly inspired by Yoshiki Tanaka's Legend of Galactic Heroes series. So I wonder what his connection to Arthur Clarke. Interestingly Yoshiki is a fan of Chinese history.
