Restaurant inside Long March rocket to open

A restaurant being created from all the recovered stages of a Long March 2F rocket will open for a short run on Thursday in Hangzhou, Zhejiang province, according to Qianjiang Evening Daily. It will close on Sept 25. The rocket was used to carry a module for the Tiangong 2 space laboratory and the Shenzhou XI manned spacecraft with astronauts Jing Haipeng and Chen Dong on board in October 2016. The fairings for the rocket's boosters and other stages are being turned into restaurant dining rooms. The space-themed eatery is the brainchild of e-commerce platform Taobao and food delivery service Eleme.
