Big week for the aerospace sector. LandSpace just made history as the first company outside the U.S. to pull off a rocket stage return. They're actually trying to crack the reusable rocket game that's been dominated by American players for years.

What makes this notable? The satellite launch market has essentially been a one-country show when it comes to cost-effective reusability. Now that monopoly might face real competition. If LandSpace nails the landing and reuse cycle, we could see launch costs drop across the board.

The implications go beyond just cheaper access to orbit. More players in the reusable rocket space means faster innovation cycles, alternative supply chains, and potentially new markets opening up for satellite deployment. Keep an eye on how this plays out.
