Why Beijing should thank the US for its space and chip industries

The raptor was methalox?
Yes, the Raptor engine is Methalox.

Until today the only working methalox engine is Chinese. Lolol

What? The only working methalox engine is Chinese???

Have you been living on a rice farm all your life or something?

examples
2007
NASA - Methane engine test fire



Blue Origin BE-4 550K+



SpaceX Raptor...insane thrust coming from such a small rocket engine 510K



There are several methane rocket engines. They are the key components of heavy lift reusable rockets.

China was the first country to launch a simple small rocket into orbit using a methalox engine...but the engine was not reusable and is not very powerful.

There are several methane rocket engines. They are being used for re-usable heavy lift rockets.

So now a engine test is equivalent to a successful launch? Lolol. A working engine needs to successfully launch a payload which Spacex is failing to do until today. Lolololololol.

What is even funnier is a small Chinese private company with minute funding beat Spacex to it. They didn't have billions to burn for a decade okay. Pathetic!
