SpaceX Mechazilla Catching ''BIG PROBLEM''...
Since Elon Musk posted these tweets on X about the idea of catching Starship in mid-air with the new Mechazilla system instead of using traditional landing legs, he has received more doubts and opponents rather than support.
This makes sense because breaking the principles in rocketry is inherently risky, let alone testing new things on a powerful rocket like Starship.
Especially, with this new approach, catching the super heavy will be like catching an egg.
You know, it's so dangerous and even more!
Let's discuss all the potential risks that SpaceX must face as they decide to catch Starship with Mechazilla in today's episode of Tech Map.
Although the applicability and effectiveness of the landing leg have been clearly proven through hundreds of landings of Falcon rockets, Elon Musk is still determined to say No to this feature on Starship. The motivation for this change comes from the desire to save mass and cost of legs as well as to allow immediate repositioning of booster onto launch mount to be ready for flight again in less than one hour.
