SpaceX’s Mega Starship Launches and Lands with Precision

The Leader Globe16 Oct, 2024Technology

SpaceX’s Starship, the largest and most powerful rocket ever built, successfully launched on Sunday from Texas. Towering at nearly 400 feet, it soared into the skies at sunrise, marking a milestone in space exploration. For the first time, SpaceX managed to catch the booster back at the launch pad using mechanical arms, significantly reducing the risk of losing hardware. This daring test flight involved the booster returning just seven minutes after launch. Using “chopstick” arms attached to the launch tower, SpaceX caught the 232-foot booster mid-descent. This accomplishment sets a precedent for future launches, enhancing sustainability in space missions.
