Do you guys even understand the proper context of 'obsolete'? Or do you just throw up the word hoping in vain that it will embarrass US? Just because China built something using new parts that accomplish the same functions/goals, that does not mean the current methods are 'obsolete'.
Does this new Chinese rocket uses the current liquid fuel method? Yes. Voila...!!! The American rocket is 'obsolete'.
Have any of you guys ever even attend a technology seminar or conference? The horse drawn wagon, while still functional even today, is truly obsolete. Its capabilities, from speed to payload, cannot support the current economic demands and the calculus is the final determinant in what make a technology truly obsolete. Now, the use of the word 'economy' is not confined to just money and wealth. The word 'economy' is more about production of goods and services, wealth comes later. Has this new Chinese rocket changed the economy of transport from Earth to space in any way? Aaahhh...No. However, SpaceX effectively changed the economics of that transport. SpaceX and Starlink altered the course of a war. But SpaceX uses the same propulsion as everyone else, so SpaceX have not made any rocket technology obsolete.
But you guys can wank away even though this new Chinese rocket have not done anything yet...
