  • 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.
