Project 714 'Shuguang' (w. November Kelly)

In the summer of 1966, work at China’s top-secret space program ground to a halt as every worker spent every day putting up posters, making denunciations, and murdering each other. This week, Quinn, Chris, and Other Chris are joined by November Kelly (bsky.app/profile/postoctobrist.bsky.social) to talk about Project 714, China’s secret crewed space program and the incredibly dumb reason it died.
