• China recovered a Zhuque-3 rocket booster on land for the first time.
• The rocket successfully landed on its legs in Gansu province after launching a satellite.
• This marks a significant milestone for China's space programme and LandSpace Technology.
• Reusable rockets can lower the cost of launching satellites into space.

This achievement may indicate China's growing competitiveness in the global space industry, potentially challenging SpaceX's dominance. The successful recovery of the Zhuque-3 rocket booster suggests that China could be closing in on reusable rocket technology, which could substantially lower the cost of launching satellites and support the growth of its internet satellite network.
