Ping!....................
Cow farts?
Don’t try this alone in your back yard or anywhere!
The Chinese can’t do this! It’s going to cause global warming! Think of the Ert!
LOL!
There are NO private companies in Communist China.
The Chinese Communist Party is so self-conscious, and so insecure, it has to pretend that - just like the USA - China has private companies building privately owned rockets.
China steals or counterfeits everything!
And have for thousands of years. It is part of their 'culture'. The idea of 'Intellectual Property' is completely foreign to them. If you discover a better way to make a mousetrap, they believe that they should be able to make that mousetrap without paying you a cent. It is the way they think and always have..................
bkmk
From what I’ve seen, this is true.
I used to work for a guy that had a wireless speaker system he wanted to produce commercially. This was back in 1992. He contracted with a company in Taiwan to build it and they stole it..............
“a private Chinese company”: sorry, no such thing.
China is playing catch-up to Elon Musk.
huh...
I was wondering what that smell was this morning...
In no way is this the first methane fueled rocket. Lolol.
There would have to be at least one for the Chinese to steal.

They should paint a squatting cow at the bottom of those rockets.
I believe China is first to reach orbit. Elon's blowed up real good on a test launch.
The Chinese are inventive.
The so-called Chinese wheelbarrow -a one wheeled cart - came to be after the Fall of Empire and the roads deteriorated to the point you could only run a one wheel cart.
So, there is this to point to....
