And unlike NASA's pipe dreams, this is actually highly likely to happen. The plan is still ambitious and requires a bunch of untested gear to work, but China's track record with Tiangong/Shenzhou is quite impressive.

Why’s NASA’s plan a pipe dream? Seems fine so far especially after the adjustments.
