This Chinese Startup Just Landed a Rocket Vertically 

Mate, your command of the English language is way better than that of many Americans. 👍 🇦🇺

Seriously!? English is your second language?? Omg, you speak English better than most Americans! Near perfect American accent!

China trying to copy spacex. Wow amazing…. 😂 can’t even come up with a different name

Wow your accent/pronunciation when speaking English is excellent. Ignore the rude people. The internet is an amplifier bringing out the best and worst in people.

Some people have a sad existance where they go around picking holes in other peoples work, personaly I think it is a blattant form of bullying, do not give them the satisfaction of aknowledgement and just ignore them, in my opinion you put together a very good piece which was well orrated, I look forward to your next article.

Thanks for the kind words @eddymich, and welcome to the channel!

That OC is laughably false. Please come back to reality.

Yeah be careful. China do not like media attention.

Yes. You can see what Space X did 3 years ago. LOL

my guy has *never* heard of SpaceX

All politics aside, humanity will need the USA to stop funding Billions in war and stop killing millions civilians around the world, if US government spend this money on their infrastructures and homeless people it's better for all humanity.

I see it as Humanity destroying the atmosphere, killing the Earth in it's quest to conquer space.

@@cohutta_pines A single falcon 9 launch emits about as much CO2 as 7 continental airline flights. So in the grand scheme of things, it's nothing. Chill.

Thats 7 continental flights worth that someone will have to pay to remove if at all possible . The safe level is 370ppm ..look up the latest and its accelerating rise because of all `the little bits `adding up to a huge bit .@@trevarigoldstein9917

Humanity, like all children, must eventually leave their mother and explore the universe !

Thanks for the kind words @jeechun!

Rational and objective analysis: At present, the only country with the most powerful aerospace technology in the world is the United States🇺🇸China🇨🇳! These two countries are competitors! But America 🇺🇸 is very unaccustomed to anxiety! Use various means to suppress and slander China! I hope China and the United States will have peaceful and clean competition!

Yeh China clearly stole the tech from SpaceX.

China does it to terrorize and threaten to seize other countries' territory. Seizes the waters of many countries.

Rocket originated in South Korea

@@kingaron6341 Oh, because South Korea has rockets that land themselves or because SpaceX is the only entity in the world capable of self landing rockets?

@@johndoe8785 Chinese copy all their technology nothing original. 🇨🇳

How can you be that unsuspicious? In the 60s and 70s, these countries were sending human beins on the moon. 50 years later, they show you CGI images, like here, and you applaud ? Come on, wake up !

It's CGI.

@@jesus4400 Source?

@@woxoom In this video, look into it !

Real growth is when the Common man need to make it atleast need to use it, then only we can accept that is growth! Unless they all comes under defense or growth for monopolies ! Monopolies never live for the people/nations growth 🎈

The race to the Mars!

Unless something changes, this is not a race, it is a leader (SpaceX) and a follower (iSpace). SpaceX is about 10 years ahead at this point, maybe more.

@@davidbeppler3032 just because SpaceX is the pioneer doesn't mean they are the best (leader) forever.. that's what makes competition of market healthy.. improvement makes the future a better place

I'd say SpaceX is at least 15 years ahead. China doesn't have the infrastructure or experience. Soon, China will be more concerned with meeting basic food requirements than with space.

Only if you believe their propaganda.... Do you remember a huge buzz few years ago about a "stealth" fighter? And where is it? Well, it has never been made. They don't have adequate brain for such things

This is just an experimental product, and it is still far from the commercial stage of Falcon. Chinese commercial companies still have a long way to go, but this is indeed an important step.

Although it's had only short hops so far this rocket looks more like New Shepard. I think if they wanted to fit more sophisticated legs on it, it can easily replicate the New Shepard flights. That would also give them a chance to try out the grid fins.

That was the first stage I think not the whole rocket

其实是因为怕美国攻击，所以几十年前把火箭发射基地放在内陆，现在的主要发射场是海南文昌

😄

Its super easy when you blatantly place spies inside spacex and steal all of their designs....its like they aren't even trying to hide it

It took them that long to steal the technology.

That's interesting - Im British living in Bulgaria and I dont see Bulgarian as a different language, its just different worlds in English. I use them both in sentences and I can do maths in my head in both in the same equation. My brain simply does NOT separate them. They are all in the one big bag of words - BUT Bulgarian is very different in structure so even though I know maybe 2 to 3,000 words I am very bad as I can not structure the sentence except in the English way. Im trying to learn to read Chinese cos obviously you dont have to be able to speak Chinese to be able to read it - I know this is鱼 fish and this is 钓鱼 Go fishing but I have no idea the Chinese words. I find this universal language fascinating

中国人完全不觉得英语语法和中文类似………………感觉很难，比如单数、复数，还有时态等等

@@xiaoxiao792 OK - I managed some of that without google - middle country people all no - after that I got lost and had to use Google. "Chinese people don’t feel that English grammar is similar to Chinese at all... it seems difficult, such as singular, plural, tense, etc." The good thing about English speakers is we are used to hearing every nationality in the world try to speak English - so you only have to be close and we will understand you. If you say "wanted I cookies six" you will get six cookies when it should be "I would like six cookies please" You should try Bulgarian - if you change one word at the end it changes all the other words in the sentence, so you have to know how it will end before you can start it.

well it's the scientific community of the West that did all of it and china, as ususal just copied. And now, it will be used 100% for military npurposes... but let's pretend the world gained something...

Watch out amerimutt seething incoming 😂😂😂

This is CGI

SpaceX's Starship uses methalox Raptor engines - I think these are also throttled.

@@maxhugen Starship has demonstrated liftoff and landing successfully (once) but SpaceX has not made any successful methalox launches into orbit or even flown methalox engines past the Karman Limit (100km altitude from sea level). SpaceX doesn't seem to have issues with reusing the kerolox Merlin engines in the recoverable Falcon 9 first stages.

Two major differences between RocketLab and iSpace, the main one being that RocketLab have a steady income stream and are also gaining inflight data. Also RocketLab have their own inhouse Satellite capabilities, actively making money.

The only problem with Methane/Liquid Oxygen is the CO2 it produces (CH4 + O2). Hydrogen/LOX is much more environment-friendly.

@@rattywoof5259 Sure, hydrogen is more eco-friendly, but as you probably know, it's incredibly difficult to work with. Storage, pipes, valves etc etc are all prone to leakage without meticulous construction and maintenance.

If you take a look at the Kennedy Space Center launch pads on Google Maps using satellite view you'll see those launch pads have infrastructure surprisingly close.

It's a small scale testing pad. And those are just sheds.

@@VarietyGamerChannel Ahhh ... that makes sense ... Thanks

Test site is in the desert out in the middle of nowhere.

No. They just don't care.

Lol they already have full spectrum geo synchronous space surveillance capabilities, their own GPS , BEIDOU😂😂

They're 40 years behind, and always will be.

@@JohnWarner-lu8rq ,lol keep dreaming and thinking they will always be behind, history is not kind to people who get complacent. If they are so behind why aggressive sanctions on chips, the hegemon is fearing his hegemony is coming to an end.

@@JohnWarner-lu8rqamerimutt feeling insecure? Why else would you mass reply to every comment chain 😂😂😂

@@NeostormXLMAX Mass reply? Every comment chain? Seek help.

The Shure SM58 🙂 I’ve been using it for 5 years now, I’d definitely recommend it

SpaceX started 15 years ago, it is natural that it is ahead, the difference is that the chinese companies have infinite money from the CCP, so don't celebrate too soon

lol, as a Chinese I don't even see this news in any media. It is just a trial from a private business. They successfully landed the rocket back on a ship about 3 years ago.

@@TheRinolanderOh!

Spacex are also chinese rebranded technology Elon Must is outsourcing from china. Lol Tesla is also Chinese rebranded tech Elon is outsourcing from china.

I sense jealousy😅

​@@sirburst1728 Why would Americans feel jealousy when our country has Space X lol

it's the first step to becoming the Falcon 9, SpaceX also had these tests hundreds of times before the first orbital landing but that doesn't make it any less impressive.

@@actualyoungsoo Because SpaceX isn't a lucrative company

SpaceX did the same with starship. Starhopper. It's called RD bro. SpaceX lost 4 falcon rockets before a successful launch and landing. Now look falcon 9 is a complete success. The world is advancing just a matter of time before China dose the same thing. China has man power, money, technology to accomplish its space industry goals.

they actually got balls ngl

Its liquid propellant. So no smoke

The west has heard very little from the west's MSM about the Tiangong space station. One can assume there will be very little about this. Anyway, well done. Successful test and with a new viable fuel.

The Chinese like to do it first and then publicize it after making it, which is different from India

​@@Aapigtoxic

Thanks for your support Stephen! ☺️

Sure thing. It's a gas generator cycle, produces 15 tons of thrust (vac), and has an ISP of 355s (vac). These are the values on their official specs.

@@DongfangHour Very interesting, Thanks! So its the same cycle as Spacex's Merlin engine. A good start. Learning to apply Methalox over the various cycles, such as GasGen, Staged Oxygen rich, and now Staged Full flow is very good for the rocket industry!.

Don't go to Chiina! Foreigners will be put in jail if you say Taiwan passport or Taiwan president,

NO. if use parachutes the rocket most likely land on it side potentially cause damage to the rocket

Not for large liquid fuel rockets. Parachutes get less effective as things get bigger, and liquid fuel rockets are too fragile to survive higher landing speeds. The Space Shuttle solid fuel boosters for example landed at about 90km/h, but they were basically solid steel tubes so they could handle that. RocketLab are also able to land their liquid fuel Electron booster intact with parachutes, but it is tiny (About 1 tonne, vs the 80 tonnes of the Shuttle boosters). i-Space's Hyperbola-3 rocket is much closer to Falcon 9 in size, so propulsive landing is the only real option.

@@lazarus2691 Even those relatively stout STS SRMs needed a lot of rework after water landing. As the STS program got underway NASA had a preference for large liquid side boosters rather than solids, but concluded that intact recovery of relatively lightweight liquids wasn't feasible.

NO, we want something cool.

If they can provide Falcon 9 level price/performance anytime this decade, then they will win big. I’m guessing they won’t have problems raising capitol and getting government support for guaranteed launch contracts if they need it

@@douginorlando6260 lol do you saw the design is a spacex ripoff probably stolen blue print , so they are probably testing things they didn't manage to steal

@@douginorlando6260 By then Starship will have cornered the market on launching tonnage to LEO.

@@toadsauce8091China can’t utilize SpaceX anyway so thats a moot point. They may offer something that is less competitive than SpaceX, but due to market restriction Chinese domestic market will have no choice but to utilize them.

@@toadsauce8091yes for the western aligned world. But China’s Starlink equivalent will require 20,000 satellites. That’s a huge market. I expect China’s engineer rich population will continue to progress beyond a Falcon9 equivalent.

Probably in near future as reverse engineering is changing the space tourism at affordable price.

I think human payload is much harder than cargo. Safety will be a major concern for tourist, they have to launch quite a number of cargo payload to proof that it's save enough for human.

Supporting multiple vehicles in development and mantainence is not economically viable when a larger single rocket will be both more useful and profitable.

It wouldn’t be terribly surprising if the government wasn’t subsidizing it in exchange for allowing rigorous oversight by government officials. It would be pragmatic for both parties involved and significantly relieve financing concerns.

Actually they have, there was a presentation from 2 years ago where they showed a very Blue Origin-like approach with a capsule on top of the Hyperbola-2 first stage. There's been no update since though, their most recent presentation at CCAF2023 made no mention of this.

Maybe all the Chinese will move to Venus

it’s cool and all but there’s no where to go lol

Musk shares technology? Will a capitalist share technology? The electric vehicle patents announced by Musk are all patents that no one wants.

...Japan attempted to fly their first new rocket design at all in over two decades in February and March of this year. The first time the SRBs failed to ignite, the second time the second stage didn't light. Which isn't that bad by orbital rocket standards, but they're working on making a thing fly at all. They were demilitarized by the postwar constitution. Previous Japanese rockets have been intentionally crippled so that they couldn't be used to deliver warheads to the surface with useful accuracy; IIRC they're literally unguided in the first stage and have to be launched precisely tipped over so an aeroballistic "gravity turn" will put the second stage at more or less the right altitude. Despite being the ones to write the constitution at gunpoint, the US has been saying "no it's fine now, get some weapons, we gave the Germans nukes come on" since maybe the '70s. It was only in 2014 (after the Russian invasion of Crimea, I assume) that the Diet decided they were allowed to buy some Tomahawks for a retaliatory strike capability in case PRC or its sockpuppet hit them, and in 2022 (after the full Russian attack on Ukraine raised chances of PRC kicking off its invasion of Taiwan and likely striking Japan in the process) that they lifted various restrictions on military spending and deployment of potentially military technologies. Like orbital rockets.

@@HypoceeYTimagine if japan ends up tricking america into thinking they are militarizing for china then to turn on them later😂😂😂. Its like how bolsanaro talked about his anti china stance which got the cia to get him elected but once elected he became pro china 😅, same with the pakisran coup

@@HypoceeYT and you should wonder who even came up with the strange narrative that China would attack Japan in its unification with Taiwan. But I know you won’t wonder because you have been brainwashed to accept this neocon US state department narrative without ever questioning it. It’s also very funny that Japan the imperialist aggressor who finally was forced to surrender is scared of China. They really seem to have the mindset of a criminal who knows it has committed a grave crime but has never apologized is scared that someone is coming for them.

Stop flattering Japan! You should keep up with the times! Learn more knowledge! Thanks

Well other then spacex they weren't reusable

@@SYD_EA Your definition of "reusable" is invalid.

The Lunar Lander was not a rocket. SpaceX was the first operating body to properly land a rocket, not some sort of lunar lander. If any part of the spacecraft went to waste, it is not reusable.

@@woxoom The Lunar lander used rockets to both land on the moon and get back up from the moon's surface. So, you're wrong. The question wasn't about "reusable", it was about rockets landing vertically. Go check wikipedia, which is where the information comes from. Maybe learn some actual rocket science.

The lunar lander is not a rocket!

Said no inventor ever. “Stealing my ideas is IP theft” would be the apt term.

Your iq must be very low but that’s ok you can be educated. If building reusable self landing rockets is considered imitation, building rockets in general is also imitation in that case, who first tried to reach space? The Russians, guess who saw this and wanted to do it for themselves? The Americans, the Americans therefore copied according to your logic

rocket is invented by china, so flattery

What else is China supposedly leading the world in?
