Foreign media: Chinese private rocket company Blue Origin is preparing to challenge Elon Musk's SpaceX. Blue Origin became the first company in China to conduct tests on a reusable rocket earlier this month, and although its Zhuque-3 rocket test failed, it has injected new momentum into China's aerospace industry.
Blue Origin plans to raise funds through listing to support future projects, with the goal of providing China with low-cost launch options similar to SpaceX's Falcon 9, helping China build a constellation of 10,000 satellites in the coming decades.
Blue Origin also opened its engine factory to foreign media for the first time. Previously, Musk had stated that the Zhuque-3 incorporated some features of Starship, such as stainless steel and methalox fuel, which could potentially surpass the Falcon 9, but he believed that Starship was on another level.
