China lands reusable rocket for first time Around six minutes after separating from the rocket's upper stage, its booster returned to Earth vertically and was recovered on a floating platform. In December 2015, SpaceX landed a reusable Falcon 9 rocket from an orbital flight for the first time, followed by Blue Origin's New Glenn in November 2025. The Long March 10B, which can carry a payload of at least 16 metric tons to low-Earth orbit, has been compared to SpaceX's Falcon 9. —— RU | BigLiquid | Pro Channel
