China 's commercial launch industry is hard at work developing next generation technologies like reusable rocket boosters and space tourism operations.

Did you know that the first rocket ship ever built was created in China ? Rocket powered vehicles destined for outer space actually date back to the 16th century , during the era of China 's Ming Dynasty .

China 's space program truly begins with the Long March rocket.

Long March 5 is China 's biggest and most powerful rocket to date, with a capacity of 14,000 kilograms to geosynchronous transfer orbit.

Long March 7 was designed specifically to launch the Tianjhou cargo spacecraft for the Tiangong Space Station .

The Long March 8 is supposed to become the Chinese space program's first attempt at a reusable booster that would be in line with the SpaceX Falcon Nine .

China is pitching this as a reusable first stage booster that will function much like a Falcon 9, reigniting its main engines to perform a boost back burn.

China has all of the bases covered with the exception of a really big ass rocket and a reusable booster.

For the West to have the same depth of capability, we would have to basically combine every rocket design from SpaceX , Rocket Lab , Arian , and ula together to round out the fleet.
