That launch site in the home looks very cool. Is it the one the experimental rocket took off accidentally a few weeks back?

I'm sot sure what you mean by "launch site in the home". Could you clarify?

Is it the one the experimental rocket took off accidentally a few weeks back?

Similar terrain, but different sites. The Yaogan 43 Group 01 launched out of Xichang Satellite Launch Center, while the accidental Tianlong-3 launch occurred at a test facility in Gongyi country, Henan province.
