Chinese Rocket Lands Straight Up Like a Pencil!
Recommended for Preparatory Grades
A Chinese company called i-Space is testing a new way to land rockets. They want to make it easier and cheaper to get things into space by reusing rockets instead of throwing them away.
Important Details

- The company has done several successful tests of their vertical landing technique.
- They even have a video of one of their rockets landing safely back on the ground.
- This technique could make it easier and cheaper to get things into space by reusing rockets.
