SpaceX Successfully Catches Massive Starship Booster During Groundbreaking Flight 5 Rocket Launch and Landing (Watch Video)

SpaceX achieved a major milestone on Sunday by successfully “catching” the first-stage booster of its Starship megarocket after a test flight. The booster, known as the “super heavy booster,” launched and then made a controlled return to the launch pad in Texas. A pair of mechanical “chopsticks” from the launch tower secured the booster in a groundbreaking feat of engineering, marking a world first for reusable rocket technology. This success follows a prior splashdown of Starship in June, advancing Elon Musk’s vision for future Mars missions. Elon Musk’s SpaceX Conducts Starship 5th Flight Test, Launches World’s Largest 400-Foot-Tall Rocket With Heavy Booster.
