Chinese have tested a reusable space rocket just like Ilon Musk's
China has successfully tested a reusable Landspace rocket, which is being developed as an analog of Ilon Musk's SpaceX Falcon 9.
During the tests, Zhuque-3 climbed to an altitude of 10 km and then gently landed less than two meters from the center of the landing pad, which was 3.2 km from the original launch site.
