A Private Chinese Rocket Landed on Its Own Legs for the First Time

LandSpace landed the first stage of its Zhuque-3 rocket upright on landing legs in Gansu province, China's first land-based booster recovery and the first by a private Chinese company. The feat followed a fiery failure eight months earlier, and a fire broke out at the booster's base after this landing too, so a full reusable rocket has not yet been proven.
