What an incredible close-up of the #LongMarch10B launch and its precision sea recovery. The roar of the engines, the searing plume of exhaust, and the almost surreal sight of the booster returning under complete control made for an unforgettable spectacle.

Standing 72 meters tall with 9 liquid-fueled engines on its booster, this powerhouse is a direct architectural answer to SpaceX’s Falcon 9.

Hongkonger in space!
Per Chinese practice, the crew was announced one day before the planned launch date. The mission will be commanded by Zhu Yangzhu, who previously flew on Shenzhou 16. Lai Ka-ying will become the first Hongkonger in space as payload specialist in the Shenzhou 23 mission.
Unlike previous six-month missions, the CMSA has announced that one astronaut from Shenzhou 23 is expected to stay in space for a full year. This would allow a Pakistani astronaut to visit Tiangong during the Shenzhou 24 mission scheduled for October 2026.
A Pakistani taikonaut, rather?. I think the spacing nation defines the noun.

LandSpace Sets Sights on Mid 2026 for Historic Rocket Recovery!
China’s leading private aerospace firm, LandSpace, has officially announced its goal to achieve the nation’s first successful reusable rocket booster recovery by mid-2026. Following the maiden flight of the Zhuque-3 (ZQ-3) on December 3, 2025—which successfully reached orbit but faced a "soft landing" anomaly—the company is doubling down on its next attempt.
