▪️China's state enterprise, China Academy of Launch Vehicle Technology (CALT) has successfully launched and recovered the first stage of its Long March 10B carrier rocket;

▪️The first stage successfully helped launch a functional satellite payload into orbit before guiding itself to a recovery ship at sea where it landed under its own power;

▪️Note how nasty the BBC is - "state media says," as if it might not actually be true - despite literal video footage of it doing so;

▪️China has surpassed the US by virtually every conceivable metric with few exceptions including space launch capabilities, AI, and several others - however today's success poises China to inevitably surpass the US in this realm as well;

▪️Imagine if US leadership (corporations/policymakers/politicians) weren't so obsessed with power and profit and infected with a false sense of superiority - what the US and China could achieve together?
