China planning to build its own version of SpaceX’s Starship

SpaceX continues to be a font of inspiration for Chinese aerospace engineers.

At least one Chinese company is already working to create its own version of SpaceX’s workhorse Falcon 9, which has launched more than 100 orbital missions this year.
