Chinese spacecraft begin rendezvous and proximity operations in geostationary orbit
China’s Shijian-21 and Shijian-25 are conducting proximity operations for a second time high above the Earth as a precursor to an expected on-orbit refueling test.

I made a multi-part piece for #artober xD.
I. Hua Shijian (花世間 / 花世间, "flower of the mortal world“).
One of Thread's executives, he is said to be unmatched in combat. Acts as a proxy for Jade Scorpion.

Tomorrow I begin to level Monk... The return of Shijian, my MoP remix character! Previously my MoP remix Shijian was on Alliance.
This one is on Horde so she technically exists on both as a truly neutral entity (Shado-Pan).
So far the Monk quests are already shockingly good.

The word of the week! Coined by Chinese essayist Hu Wenhui, “the garbage time of history” (历史的垃圾时间, lìshǐ de lājī shíjiān) refers to the period when a nation or system is no longer viable—when it has ceased to progress, but has not yet collapsed. When “the die is cast and defeat is inevitable.”
