🔥BIG: SpaceX catches Starship returning from orbit for the FIRST TIME. Mechazilla’s giant mechanical arms caught the spacecraft at Starbase, Texas, on Saturday, roughly 22 hours after launch. During its 15th test flight, Starship deployed 26 Starlink satellites and completed 14 orbits around Earth. But SpaceX missed its goal of recovering both stages. The Super Heavy booster exploded over the Gulf. The catch brings SpaceX closer to a fully reusable rocket system, which could lower launch costs and enable more frequent missions.
