Spacex Makes History! Starship Caught by Tower Arms after 22-Hour Flight | News18

SpaceX pushes the boundaries of space exploration with a historic breakthrough! Elon Musk's Starship upper stage has been successfully caught by the giant mechanical arms of its launch tower in Texas for the first time.

After a remarkable 22.5-hour test flight, the spacecraft returned from orbit and was captured by the tower's giant 'chopstick' arms, marking a major milestone in SpaceX's ambitious mission to build fully reusable rockets.

However, the mission had a dramatic setback. The Super Heavy booster failed its planned recovery attempt, diverted towards the Gulf of Mexico and exploded before splashdown.

The Starship completed 14 orbits around Earth and deployed 26 Starlink satellites during the mission.
