New S40’s Return Footage after 75 Days Revealed How Exactly Catching Ship Is Important…
S40 is finally home after 75 days, and the new return footage reveals far more than just the condition of a Starship after an orbital mission. From its damaged heat shield and missing forward flap to the hardware that still appears remarkably intact, S40’s return could give SpaceX critical data for the next stage of Starship development — especially as the company prepares for the much bigger challenge of catching Ship.
The new S40 return footage gives us a much closer look at what happened after splashdown, how seawater and recovery operations may have affected the vehicle, and why bringing S40 back to Starbase is so important. More importantly, S40’s recovery highlights exactly why SpaceX wants to move away from ocean splashdowns and toward a fully reusable Ship recovery system.

So, how important is catching Ship? SpaceX has already been testing S42 and exercising the Mechazilla Chopsticks, and a successful Ship catch could eliminate weeks of towing, ocean exposure, and recovery operations. Instead, Ship could return directly to Starbase for inspection, refurbishment, and potentially another flight much faster.
In this video, we will answer:
What does the new S40 return footage reveal?
How much damage did S40 suffer after 75 days at sea?
Why is catching Ship so important for SpaceX?
How could a tower catch change Starship reuse?
Is SpaceX preparing for a Ship catch on Flight 15?
What happened during South Korea’s latest Nuri rocket launch?
We’ll also look at South Korea’s latest Nuri mission, which successfully sent most of its 15 payloads into low Earth orbit while expanding the country’s independent launch capability.
S40’s journey may be over, but the data collected from this vehicle could influence what SpaceX does next. And if Starship is going to become truly rapidly reusable, catching Ship may be one of the most important steps yet.
