    2. Chinese rocket company Linkspace successfully tests hovering a rocket

      @linkspace_china: LinkSpace did a very successful test on rocket recycling on March 27, 2019. It will support us to open the next PLAN. Thank you Dr. @robert_zubrin for being here to witness this exciting milestone. Later, NewLine Baby(RLV-T5) will undergo higher flight tests in the future. https://t.co/9aIpLopstW
