The UK government has granted extensions to large airports unable to meet the deadline for installing new scanning technology, delaying the relaxation of rules around carrying liquids in hand luggage.

The craft has a diameter of four meters, and cargo carrying capacity of ten metric tons. An animation on Space Epoch's WeChat post depicts a parcel being loaded onto a conveyor belt and loaded into a rocket, which takes off, reaches space, and requires around 25 minutes to travel from China's east coast to a location that looks like the city of Urumqi in the northwestern Xinjiang province. The rocket lands in a silo, with its cargo compartment situated at the same level as a conveyor belt. The payload is emptied, then whisked into a van and delivered to a happy customer.fancies most of it is.
