SpaceX has achieved a historic milestone

SpaceX has achieved a historic milestone by successfully capturing the Super Heavy booster of its Starship rocket mid-air during the fifth test flight at its Starbase facility in Texas. This unprecedented maneuver involved the 232-foot-tall booster executing precise maneuvers to align with SpaceX’s “Mechazilla” arms, which gently secured the rocket upon its return.

The accomplishment marks a massive advancement toward SpaceX’s vision of rapid rocket reusability, enhancing the company’s capabilities in space exploration.
