What the US has, China has too: iPhone + SpaceX (US) = iSpace (China)
The statement is being proven clearly in today’s modern space launch race, especially in the area of reusable rockets. If the US company SpaceX has completely mastered the technology of dramatic rocket landings onto unmanned barges in the middle of the ocean, then Chinese companies are also aggressively catching up.
For instance, China’s private space company iSpace recently released a video showing a rocket model mounted on a floating platform to test vibration, stability, and its ability to withstand waves and rough seas. Although it is only at the stage of testing stability, the appearance of sea-based launch platforms with similar designs suggests that China is pouring all its resources into the race to copy and master straight-vertical landing technology in order to quickly catch up with $SPCXB
