China is intensifying its efforts in space and military technology, working on a giant railgun capable of launching a 50-ton spaceplane, longer than a Boeing 737, into orbit. This electromagnetic launch track aims to enhance China's capabilities in low-cost satellite launches, positioning it in a race against the US's Talon-1 hypersonic vehicle. Concurrently, China's advancements in shipboard R&D, including the development of a nascent railgun, highlight its growing superiority in firepower within its own theater. These developments come as the autonomous Dream Chaser 'Tenacity' spaceplane prepares to resupply the ISS for NASA, showcasing contrasting approaches to space exploration and military might between China and the United States.
