A flight test of China's Tianlong-3 Y1 private commercial carrier rocket failed on Friday after the rocket's launch from the Dongfeng commercial space innovation pilot zone in northwest China.

Having blasted off at 12:17 p.m. (Beijing Time), the commercial rocket experienced an anomaly during flight, resulting in the failure of the mission.

Yikes!
This is why you don't build your commercial experimental rocket base near human habitation.
China's own version of Space X (explain that one Tankies) with a Musk like indifference to human life.

Voilà à quoi ressemble #Tianlong3 dont le premier étage est prévu d'être réutilisable.
Le lanceur est très similaire en terme de design et de capacités à une #Falcon9.
