“It’s quite secretive; they didn’t announce exactly what the nature of the project is but based on estimates of what was launched and where it’s gone, it appears to be something like a small space shuttle,” he told Sky News Australia.
“A lot smaller than how the space shuttle was but more importantly, it doesn’t have humans in it, and it’s very similar, we think, to what we call the X37B.”
Dr Tucker said the X37B was a Boeing-built United States plane, which is not designed for human transportation but can go to space, stay in orbit and can be operated remotely “like a drone”.
“It has this weird combination of being an activity like a satellite, a platform for putting things in space but landing to be reused,” he said.
“Now, the US’ one, we’ve known, can stay up there for literally years in orbit, landing safely, and then being relaunched.”
Dr Tucker said there was a Chinese test of a similar rocket a few years ago, but the craft only stayed in orbit for three days.

That's weird. How did they accomplish that without diversity or transgenders? /sarc

The Chyyyn3se haven't had an original idea since the invention of the firework.

Why does Sky News, believe it's own nonsense? We can send stuff up, but nothings gets to space.

more lies

Did Nancy just happen to hand deliver the plans, hmm.

We have doing that since the 1970's.

I see China rocket during launch is very stable. Every time they launch rocket, it is successful. It seems China mastered rocket technology. I feel China recent success in high technology is due to affordable university education there. University education in China is about 12 times more affordable than in US. Almost all universities in China are public. Tuition fee per year is about US$900 across the board and on camp accommodation available for every student is US$220 per year. Total is $1120 for one year tuition and accommodation for studying university in China. $1120 is about median monthly pay in China. One month pay in China can pay one year university study including tuition fee and accommodation. Every year there are 10 million students who graduate from universities in China. But You never heard student loan in China as parents can pay them easily from their savings.

To capture aliens inside the ISS

Ppfftt. Yeah right. And with their history of 'quality assurance', it'll break on its second or third flight and probably rain radioactive materials down on us all when it disintegrates in midair.

Probably comes with a 30 day warranty
-
Its chinese and reusable? Wonder how long it'll last
-
Very worrying
-
The snag is that is has to stay working long enough to begin the journey home.
-
I'll believe it when i see it .
-
Gee where did they get the idea?
-
Chinese technology is the best !
-
I think it will carry nukes in the future
-
Most of their space craft fall back to earth reusable or not
