99% of the time I am happy for any advancement in space tech regardless of the source. This is the 1%. China is the one place I do NOT want having the ability to rapidly deploy mass to orbit.
So the interstage is coal-powered. Okay.
China has a long way to go to catch up to the cadence of a Falcon 9. Starship with full reusability as we know is a whole other level.Join the conversation
