“SpaceX launched its fifth test flight of its Starship rocket on Sunday and made a dramatic first catch of the rocket’s more than 20-story tall booster. The achievement marks a major milestone toward SpaceX’s goal of making Starship a fully reusable rocket system. Elon Musk’s company launched Starship at 8:25 a.m. ET from its Starbase facility near Brownsville, Texas. The rocket’s ‘Super Heavy’ booster returned to land on the arms of the company’s launch tower nearly seven minutes after launch. … Starship separated and continued on to space, aiming to travel halfway around the Earth before reentering the atmosphere and splashing down in the Indian Ocean.” (10/13/24)
