The damaged Shenzhou-20 spacecraft will not be disposed of right away though. It will instead stay docked with the space station as an experiment platform.

Yes, easy to get nostalgic about the Shuttle, i loved it, but looking back they also needed a cheaper alternative along side it, something more simple. I always thought the shuttle was awesome when you had no space station destination in orbit.

Long March 10 is being designed from the ground up to have these alternate configurations though. And also to have re usable boosters fitted when they become available too.

They did launch it to low Earth orbit, without the Moon booster and Apollo space craft. And used that extra space on top for the Skylab Space Station. After that they heavily modified it down to the Saturn IB. For ferrying astronauts to Skylab.

Yes! Looking forward to that. A scaled down version of it is going to launch their new manned capsule 'The Mengzhou' to the Tiangong Space Station next year.
