Taobao has confirmed that the alliance is real<\/a>, despite the fact that the publication by Space Epoch occurred just a few hours before April 1st, also known as April Fool’s Day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Yuanxingzhe 1 has not yet flown, but its liquid fuel engine has been tested<\/strong> and Space Epoch has simulated the recovery of the reusable spacecraft after a water landing. The spacecraft has a diameter of four meters and a payload capacity of ten metric tons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

An animation in the WeChat post<\/a> by Space Epoch shows a package being loaded onto a conveyor belt and inserted into a rocket, which takes off, reaches space, and takes about 25 minutes to travel from the east coast of China to a location that appears to be the city of Urumqi, in the northwestern province of Xinjiang.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The rocket lands in a silo, with its cargo compartment located at the same level as a conveyor belt. The cargo is emptied, placed into a van, and delivered to a happy customer.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Taobao online store will test rocket parcel delivery service in lofty attempt to ship goods anywhere in the world within an hour.
