China ‘Madman of Science’ believes budget space travel is viable after low-cost rocket launch

An innovator in China has successfully launched a self-developed low-cost rocket, proving the feasibility of budget space exploration to the world.
In February, the 12m Shenzhen Pioneer rocket made local history in China’s remote northeastern Qinghai province, reaching a record altitude of 3,700m and setting a new regional benchmark for liquid rocket launches.
Built by a five-person team led by 31-year-old Lu Yulong, the rocket took just 15 days to build in Shenzhen.
