It didn’t fail, it completed the three engine relight and flip maneuver and soft landing. That was the hard part.
soft landing? the landing wasn't even perfect, wasn't standing vertically was still on fire as it touched down and instead of staying grounded it refly kaboom. But i will give it to you, it did improve compared to the previous explosions. So maybe next time eh, easy fix lol
I already knew it would end up with another explosion, with the Americans you know they need more exploding prototypes before getting there. Still i applaud them for making some incremental improvements. China rather succeed with less failed prototypes and it often does accomplish this.
Try harder.

Why land vertically? Why not use runway?
There's no runway on Mars

SpaceX has successfully completed 99% of their test objectives in only 3 Starship launch attempts. Ascent, engine cutoffs, vertical to horizontal with aerosurface control, 3 engine relight, flip maneuver, and descent control. Again, in only 3 attempts. Yes, they still have some tweaking to perfect the landing, but that’s normal in a test campaign when your at the bleeding edge of innovation. Falcon 9 boosters crashed about a dozen times before landings became routine.
It’s just a matter of time now.
Moving the goalposts already?
Try harder.

China’s not even in the same stratosphere as SpaceX when it comes to rocket technology. At the rate SpaceX is innovating, they’ll have humans on Mars before China even lands someone on the Moon.
Indian moon landing was also 99% successful

we will, and when your taikonauts eventually get to Mars there will be a McDonalds drive thru for them to enjoy a juicy warm McRib.
Try harder.
I would not be so sure about sending humans to Mars. Personally i do not think that's going to happen

Is this a joke? The way to go to Mars is launching from a pad on the moon so the rocket has enough speed to reach Mars within a month.

An this is why Chinese are followers, and Americans leaders. We do the “impossible”, and you follow.
