For the first time ever, SpaceX has followed through on a Starship test launch by bringing back the Super Heavy booster for an on-target catch in the arms of its “Mechazilla” launch-tower cradle in Texas.
If anything had gone wrong, Super Heavy would have been directed into the Gulf of Mexico rather than heading back to the launch pad after stage separation. Fortunately, everything went right.
Data from the test flight will be used to fine-tune the launch system for future tests, using Starship hardware that has been stacked up at Starbase. Eventually, SpaceX aims to make the entire system fully reusable.
