When Chinese space officials unveiled the design for the country’s first super heavy lift rocket nearly a decade ago, it looked like a fairly conventional booster. The rocket was fully expendable, with three stages and solid motors strapped onto its sides.
Now, based on information released at a major airshow in Zhuhai, China, the design has morphed again. And this time, the plan for the Long March 9 rocket looks almost exactly like a clone of SpaceX’s Starship rocket.
Good ol corporate espionage. I though they where trying to move away from the made in china memes
Personaly , I think Elon may have given them the info in exchange for continuing sales of tesla in China, and that may be why he’s backing Trump so hard, just a personal theory though. Same thing with his relationship with putin and the starlink availability in Russia and “mysterious” terminals being found in Russian bunkers around Ukraine.
China should be ashamed. America would never steal rocket technology from fascists.
Still not stealing
*stealing the designs for
