>“[It] can be used as a substage of a reusable space transport system powered by lift rocket engines, which is an advanced integration of space and aviation technology,” according to CASC, the developer of the vessel and the main contractor for the country’s space programme.

The X-37 isn't really a space plane, it's just an unmanned version of the Shittle in a smaller package. Nothing that hasn't flown 135 times before.

So this is less impressive than the shuttle even, since it's small like the x-37 I assume. So this isn't any big news. If you compare it to the x-37 that means they're only a decade behind I guess.

My wumao friend, the X-47B has been photographed in space by amateur astronomers, there are public videos and photos of it returning from missions. There is nothing of the sort for China's space plane.

If it's only been up once and it was just a few days ago and there was little advanced warning that it was going up, it's pretty reasonable that amateurs wouldn't have photos yet. I'm certainly not claiming that the craft exists, just that it's very unreasonable to expect amateurs to have photos of it already.

It doesn't matter if it's little more than Dream Chaser or some other mini-shuttle. What matters is if it actually exists or is just more propaganda aimed at the Chinese people. If it actually exists, no one should scoff at the fact that it's something western nations have already done.
For a science board, /sci/ seems very allergic to looking at the first and second derivatives of things. It doesn't matter where China is today in the space race. It matters a lot how quickly they're improving and if that rate of improvement is accelerating or not. The US went from the first powered heavier than air flight to the Moon in 66 years. What if China goes from mini-shuttle to O'Neill Cylinder in 50? Seems impossible but look at the derivatives, not the current position.

No one said it's a duplicate of the Space Shuttle. It is however getting more shuttle like characteristics. If this keeps happening, eventually it will look like some sort of hybrid between the two.

I'm not a fan of space planes, but I can see why some like the appeal.

I think something should be space only and stay in space, and is then resupplied via smaller space craft.

Social credit is forced behavior and basically tendie points for being a good boy, which will never satisfy everyone as no one agrees on most of the things that aren't clear cut, like say, robbing someone.

But credit scores and interest shouldn't exist. Banks should actually be regulated far more than they are.

How do you even get a bad credit score? Just by not paying a bill? Seems to me that's easy to not fuck up. Mine's always been 'good' and I've never done anything special.

Chinese spacecraft returns to Earth after inaugural flight

>BEIJING, July 16 (Reuters) - A Chinese spacecraft capable of flying to the edge of the atmosphere took off and returned to Earth on the same day in what China said was a big step towards developing reusable space transportation technology.

>The spacecraft lifted off from a launch centre in northwest China on Friday and completed its flight according to "set procedures", said China Aerospace Science and Technology Corp (CASC), the country's main space contractor.

>It then landed back on Earth "horizontally", CASC said in a statement.

>A spacecraft that can fly to suborbital space ought to be able to travel to as high as 100 km (62 miles) above the Earth's surface. The CASC did not say how high the spacecraft flew, or elaborate on its flight path. Visuals of the spacecraft or its flight were not provided.

>"The development of reusable space transportation technology is an important symbol of China's transition from a 'big' space-faring nation to a 'powerful' space-faring one," CASC said.

>Reusable spacecraft would lead to higher frequency of missions and lower mission costs due to its reusability.

China's experimental space plane aces test flight

> China's reusable aerospace plane, which was tested on Friday, offers great potential in a wide range of businesses, according to industry observers.

>"It will be able to do many different things: space tourism, transporting astronauts, satellite deployment, cargo transportation and emergency rescues," said Wang Yanan, editor-in-chief of Aerospace Knowledge magazine.

>"Compared to rockets and space shuttles, this new vehicle is lower cost, requires less preparation and is more flexible. It will also permit ordinary people to take short trips into space or make ultrafast intercontinental journeys at an affordable price."

>Wang said that once the new craft enters service, it will greatly reduce the complexity and cost of space missions, likely making space tourism as easy and convenient as flying.

>Wu Peixin, an aerospace industry analyst in Beijing, said that commercial space enterprises will welcome a reusable aerospace plane because it will be technically and economically suited to placing small satellites in low orbit, an expensive process using rockets.

>It could also help in space station operations by transporting crew members and material between the station and Earth.
