Disaster! China Just Copied SpaceX’s Starship Catching Launch Tower. Musk’s Reaction…
Do you realize what this is? It’s like catching rockets with chopsticks—an idea that distinguishes SpaceX from the rest. But wait, take a closer look. It wasn’t Starship and its catching system in the image. This is actually from China, a country that has replicated SpaceX’s system numerous times.
Faced with this imitative strategy, SpaceX often chooses silence. But not this time. Enter Elon Musk, SpaceX’s founder, who has officially responded.
So, how did Elon react? How will the battle between creators and imitators unfold? Join us today on another thrilling episode of Great SpaceX!
In recent years, China has emerged as a formidable competitor to the US across various fronts in the aerospace industry. One of their strategies, albeit somewhat controversial, involves replicating ideas from industry leaders.
Disaster! China Just Copied SpaceX’s Starship Catching Launch Tower. Musk’s Reaction…
Currently, SpaceX, the world’s premier aerospace company, finds itself most frequently imitated by China. Following several copied prototypes, China has once again surprised both SpaceX and the world with a new imitation: catching rockets with chopsticks, a feat even SpaceX hasn’t achieved with Starship.
Recently, images simulating this process have surfaced on X. This effort comes from Cosmoleap, a startup founded just this year. Yes, you heard that right—they were established only a few months ago!
Through these images, we can clearly trace their development roadmap. Let’s first examine their rocket-catching system. It’s strikingly similar to the one SpaceX is building for Starship.

The launch tower stands tall on a sturdy steel structure, reaching an expected height of about 150 meters. At the top of the tower, a system of two robust steel arms—dubbed Chopstick or Mechazilla Arms—is mounted. These arms are designed to move vertically, facilitating tasks such as lifting, stacking, unstacking, and even catching rockets.
At first glance, one might mistake this for SpaceX’s system. Elon Musk himself reacted to the image with a tweet saying, ‘Look familiar.’ What’s your take on Elon Musk’s response? Drop a ‘Yes’ in the comments to share your thoughts! Don’t forget to like, share this video, and subscribe to our channel to stay updated on SpaceX’s exciting journey.
This scenario feels familiar because it’s an idea SpaceX has long pursued and previously unveiled. Currently, SpaceX operates two tower systems—one in Starbase, Texas, and another in Florida. Additionally, they are in the process of constructing a new tower system at Starbase, slated for operational use later this year.
