RC2T1NASIKXP Since launching its first rocket in 1960, China's space programme has advanced through a series of milestones: crewed flight in 2003, a first spacewalk in 2008, and by 2022 a completed space station. Its lunar programme since delivered the world's first far side landing and sample return. Those achievements are filtering into public life – retold in movies, presented through museum exhibitions and transformed into Instagram-worthy attractions. Space has become a collective cultural experience, with tourism, art and commercial branding all playing a part. REUTERS/Maxim Shemetov SEARCH "SHEMETOV CHINA SPACE" FOR THIS STORY.

RC2OVMAI7CLY A Long March 7A rocket blasts off from the Wenchang Space Launch Site as thousands of people gather at Qishui Bay Beach to watch in Wenchang, Hainan province, China, August 10, 2026. On a sweltering August night, thousands on China's Hainan island thronged the beaches around the Wenchang Space Launch Site, phones raised, waiting for a show. Shortly after 8 p.m., the Long March 7A rocket blasted off. The crowd roared as its ascent lit up the night sky. Moments later, the uncrewed rocket turned into a ball of fire in midair, an unforeseen blast confirmed by Chinese state media a few hours afterwards.

"Maybe in 10 or 20 years, we'll have our own version of Elon Musk, and we might even be able to move to Mars — who knows?" he said.

RC2Q1NAL42O3 Since launching its first rocket in 1960, China's space programme has advanced through a series of milestones: crewed flight in 2003, a first spacewalk in 2008, and by 2022 a completed space station. Its lunar programme since delivered the world's first far side landing and sample return. Those achievements are filtering into public life – retold in movies, presented through museum exhibitions and transformed into Instagram-worthy attractions. Space has become a collective cultural experience, with tourism, art and commercial branding all playing a part. REUTERS/Maxim Shemetov SEARCH "SHEMETOV CHINA SPACE" FOR THIS STORY.
