Last Tuesday China test-fired a solid-fueled rocket. That's a high-thrust rocket, that can launch heavier loads for cheaper. Downside: they also can't get that rocket back, so it's not competing with the Starship as a regular shuttle.
... unless, its mission is to deliver the rocket itself into space. If there's a station up there already, some tug can grab it, refuel it, and redirect it. Or, clean out its innards and repurpose it as a zero-G closet or something. Looks a bit small for human occupancy currently.
Or maybe it's not even going to space. Maybe it's going to Denver. Zimmerman doesn't take a side about August's hypersonic test but, I'd assume the worst.
