SpaceX’s 5th Starship test flight makes history with 1st ever booster catch
On Sunday, SpaceX achieved its most daring test flight of the massive Starship rocket, successfully catching the returning booster at the launch pad with mechanical arms. A thrilled Elon Musk described the feat as "science fiction without the fiction." Standing nearly 400 feet tall, the Starship launched at sunrise from Texas, near the Mexican border, arching over the Gulf of Mexico, much like its four predecessors, all of which were destroyed shortly after liftoff or upon impact. The previous flight in June had been the most successful until Sunday’s remarkable demonstration.
