After reading this I just realized that the poor guys probably had to watch hundreds of hours of CCTV military content to sift the grains from the chaff. My condolences.
Actually it's not that bad... now imagine if an office worker is being hired with long tenure to do such job, doing material sifting 5x8 hours a week, gets a good monthly compensation for doing that, flexi time & location incl. WFH, with or without some prospect for career advancement. Many will enroll for that job if the pay is right. No one pays us here so of course we see such immense efforts as fantastic or a great ordeal... and certainly no one here is willing to spend such uncompensated time and effort like what he did :D anyhow thanks to his works and his financial bearer, we all may get some early peek in that development. At the end, it's quite simple, with the right funding (the key factor), tedious tasks like this become feasible. Peter Wood has been in that institution for many years thus I consider it's a long tenure occupation.

These final closing lines of the CONCLUSION of the 40-page-publication "China's Spaceplane Program" give the assurance and peace of mind to its readers.

"...While this may change in the coming decade, these programs continue to display clear borrowing from Western designs such as the Space Shuttle, X-37B or SpaceX rockets, rather than pathbreaking or entirely novel designs. This makes it likely that China will remain behind the curve for the foreseeable future when it comes to keeping pace with U.S. space technology."

Ah yes, future proofing their statement. If China is the first to get warp drive working, they could claim it was borrowed from Star Trek and conclude U.S. to be still ahead.

I'm picturing Mark Milley getting to the end of this publication, then his aid hand him latest intel on Chinese hypersonic test with the world circling, sub-vehicle launching HGV and him just slapping this down on the ground?

I hate these oversimplified listings, kinds of cheap dxxk competition.
Agreed. Including the fact that China can actually lunch more if not for US banning other countries from using Chinese rockets because those satellites contained "sensitive" American technologies.
