SpaceX Booster Catch | SpaceX Makes History As Starship Returns From Orbit, Caught By Tower Arms

SpaceX has achieved a major milestone as its Starship spacecraft was caught midair by giant mechanical arms after returning from orbit, marking the first-ever successful capture of a Starship returning from space. The spacecraft completed its 22-hour journey and landed upright at the Texas launch pad in a dramatic feat. However, the mission was not entirely successful, as the Super Heavy first-stage booster exploded shortly after liftoff, preventing the company from achieving its planned double catch.
