China is making significant advancements in space technology, including the development of a giant hypersonic railgun for space launches. This railgun is part of China's efforts to enhance its satellite launch capabilities and compete with the US in the space race. Additionally, Chinese scientists have created a prototype engine for a nuclear-powered spaceship bound for Mars, showcasing the country's progress in space exploration.
This is really cool: China has developed a new type of nuclear reactor to power spacecrafts for large-scale space exploration, which can provide "efficient and continuous power supply for at least 10 years". With power of 1.5 megawatt, it's "7 times more powerful than a rival… https://t.co/McjOoV1Fuu
