> Err... there is a Chinese space station: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tiangong-1 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tiangong-1 The Chinese space station portrayed in the film is Tiangong-8. Not number 1. Thus, the movie takes place in the future. Actually, too far into the future. The Chinese are currently planning to launch their modular space station as Tiangong-3. They're not planning to go through 7 Salyuts first.
