Concerns mount in China’s space sector that Musk’s Starship will be a failure

Chinese space sector observers are expressing doubts about the future success of SpaceX's Starship rocket. These concerns stem from recent engineering and financial challenges, including engine failures during Starship's latest flight on Friday. While SpaceX described the flight as "mostly successful," observers noted issues with both the first and second stages. The first stage booster entered the Gulf of Mexico at high speed, and the Starship itself reportedly "barely made it" to its intended return area in the Indian Ocean. These doubts arise as SpaceX approaches its expected initial public offering.
