China Plans to Join the Reusable Rocket Club

 The Chinese want their next manned rocket after Long March to be reusable. Honestly, this is a good thing...reusable rockets are cheaper access to space and use fewer resources from Earth.

One interesting thing, though. Instead of landing on legs like SpaceX, they're going to try hooks and cables, kind of like the tailhook on an aircraft carrier. We'll see who's system works better!

(And really China, stop denying the thing which just hit the moon was yours. It's not like it hit anything important).
