I think Jeongmi could have sent the first man to the moon!
This also brings up questions like:
What are the other planets in Tiandi's solar system?
Should they be the same as the ones in our own solar system?
How many moons does Tiandi have? What are/is our moon(s) like?
I think Tiandi should only have a single moon. Things get pretty complicated with more than a single moon. I think it should also be similar to the RL Moon. However, I think we could have more creativity regarding planets.

Historically it would have been one of the major nations in the First Space Race, perhaps also having manned moon missions and having the first large-scale space station in orbit, though started waning after 2000. In the Second Space Race Akitsukuni will take more of a back seat but maintain their position through the continuous refurbishing of the Heiwa. They still have plans for a 2030 moon base, though.
Akitsukuni would be happy to participate a bit in this Zhouran program mostly due to CPSDC ties.
I would also like to declare that the Horaisan series of satellites in this RP are truly observation satellites and not weapons platforms as they may be in other RPs that I participate in. Akitsukuni is different from Toishima in more ways than name.

Anyway Akitsukuni's space program is largely similar to the Japanese space program in terms of scientific objectives, but is larger, though it maintains military satellites as well as civilian ones. It is highly funded (but not the most) and operates its own rockets, space centres and Soyuz's, of which I believe other nations may have copied (of course). It also operates a copy of the Mir space station, Heiwa, which has been in orbit since '87 and was refurbished starting 2001.

I am quite interested in seeing this world with multiple large space stations. Already three major space powers have stations, and I presume the Shinju Union will have some kind of international space station. The Tiandi version of Gravity would be much more interesting, to say the least.

Basically, after they got their shit together post-revolution, Qinyue's space program consisted of launching shitty little space stations and shitty little vehicles up on modified ballistic missiles, for military observation purposes and scientific purposes and to test their ballistic missiles without freaking everyone out. A few of those little ones are actually still up there (although two of them got smashed to bits in various collisions).
Next they launched three slightly larger stations (with 3 modules!!!1!1), one of which is in orbit but is, like the remaining little ones, abandoned. They weren't terrific as stations go either, but they were a step up (and during their development the Qian came up with a better vehicle that it totally not just Soyuz).
Next, much more recently, they launched Tiangong-1, which was just another two-rocket, two-module thing but had actually had effort and science and cash put into it, and then Tiangong-2, which was four modules, and now they've decided to build Tiangong-3 which is going to fucking huge as shit and have a centrifuge and refueling tanks and all kinds of shit and like 30 modules and will be a pain in the fucking ass to build but really fucking cool when it's done. Because Tiangong-3 is actually complicated and expensive they've increased funding to the space program to build it, but it's their main focus besides plans for a single lunar mission and really, really vague mutterings about a lunar base no one really wants or knows how or when to build.
All Qian boosters are just modified versions of their ballistic missiles (which means new boosters could be a glimpse at their newest missile), and there are all kinds of crazy conspiracy rumors that they still have an orbital weapons program (they don't, but they're fine with everyone thinking they do) or things along those lines, which means they're not really very open about this kind of stuff.
This is a super vague and rambling post written early in the morning and trying to respond to everyone and failing completely.

I made an ideology list. In Tiandi, fascism is Kunbangism. We might also rename communism to something else, since the word itself is latin, and I'm not sure if we even have latin in Tiandi.
Also, Marxism-Leninism and Marxism should also be renamed.
