They’re talking about that shitty photoshopped thumbnail image. That rocket, 1.) has no top, and 2.) looks like a residential water heater. And there’s no fucking way it launched that close to that building and the building is still in one piece/not on fire.
Did they launch a water heater?
Not quite. Landspace’s Zhuque-3 will be methalox, not hydrolox. The VTVL-1 hopper does bear some resemblance to a hot water heater though…

That’s the Zhuque-3 hopper. Like the Falcon 9 Grasshopper.

Are you saying it needs to be pointy? I think perhaps some of your information about rockets is coming from cartoons.
The buildings are in the background; the rocket hovered at about 350m so they are a long distance from it.
You’re thinking of ARCA space.
