China has a big success in space. A rocket landed safely on a platform. The platform is in the sea. This is a first for the country. The rocket name is Long March 10B.
The rocket started from the island Hainan. The rocket split after 6 minutes. The first part flew straight back to Earth. A new net helped with the landing.
Earlier tries failed in China. Now China reuses the expensive engines. This saves much money. Space flight becomes better and cheaper.
China wants to be like the USA. The firm SpaceX does this for a long time. The firm Blue Origin does this too. China wants more satellites in space now.
The firm CASC built the rocket. They work with the army. The government helps the project a lot. There is another start this year.
