According to the South China Morning Post, the young child has over four lakh followers on social media, where he documents his rocket development journey.
According to reports, he was four years old when he developed an interest in astronomy and began his love affair with rockets after visiting a launch centre.
How did the boy's parents support him?
Recognizing his fascination, his parents reportedly decorated his room with a rocket motif, converting it into a rocket workshop.

There are also predictions that the country will launch reusable rockets for the first time in 2025 or 2026.
