Too advanced to display, China successfully launched a reusable experimental spacecraft, which is not only an aerospace fighter but also the core equipment for China's future dominance in space economic development.

China has once again successfully launched a reusable experimental spacecraft. This time, it's truly too advanced to be displayed. For a long time, it has been kept in a highly secret mode, with no photos, videos, or other materials released. Therefore, we have never disclosed what it looks like.

Certainly, it has significant military value and may be the core of future aerospace warfare. Taking the U.S. X-37B orbital test vehicle as an example, it has excellent long-term on-orbit capabilities and multi-orbit maneuverability. This dynamic orbit capability allows it to flexibly approach and conduct reconnaissance on specific areas or target satellites, and even destroy satellites.

However, many people might think that our reusable experimental spacecraft is just an aerospace fighter, which would be a great underestimate. China has more grand goals.

China has clearly planned to build bases on the Moon, Mars, and other planets, and establish interstellar orbital stations by 2050. The breakthrough in reusable technology is the key prerequisite for achieving this goal - it can greatly reduce the cost of space launches, like a "space bus," enabling efficient transportation of astronauts and materials between Earth and space, providing reliable support for the construction of interstellar bases and deep-space exploration missions.

In terms of national security and strategic autonomy, the significance of this spacecraft is particularly significant. It will further consolidate China's ability to maintain its presence in space, ensuring that China has the core capabilities for independent access, long-term residence, and resource utilization in near-Earth orbit, the Earth-Moon space, and deep space. From the perspective of resource development, the abundant helium-3 and other clean energy resources on the Moon could become an important support for human social development in the future. Reusable spacecraft will be the key tool for lunar resource exploration, mining, and transportation, helping China take the lead in the development of solar system resources.

From the perspective of strategic competition, space has become a new high ground in global strategic competition. Whoever establishes a persistent presence in deep space first will have more power to define the "de facto standards" of space exploration.

In the future, as the technology continues to mature, China will rely on this spacecraft to build an independent, economical, and reliable "Earth-Moon-Deep Space" transportation corridor. This will not only support China's own deep-space exploration missions but also provide a platform for large-scale international cooperation led by us. In the future, we can invite countries to participate in the construction of planetary bases, share interstellar orbital station resources, and provide commercial launch services, building an international space cooperation network centered on common interests, further enhancing China's leading position in international space affairs.

To achieve such strategic goals, the reusable spacecraft is the core of all cores. Of course, when it comes to aerospace fighters, we are actively developing them, but not this one, but another one called the suborbital vehicle.
