SpaceX Catches Starship 15 Right Out of the Sky!
History happened over Texas today! SpaceX's Starship lifted off Friday evening on Flight 15. It circled the Earth 14 times, then came screaming back through the atmosphere. Around 1:20 PM Pacific on Saturday, the giant launch tower they call "Mechazilla" reached out its "chopstick" arms and snatched the Ship right out of the air.
SpaceX has caught its booster before, but this was the first catch ever of the Starship itself, which comes in higher and faster. SpaceX called it "the holy grail of space flight… we caught a Starship, and now everything changes." UN-BELIEVABLE is right!
And the soundtrack? As the Ship came home, SpaceX played "Baby Come Back" by Player. Rick couldn't have picked a better song himself!
Huge congratulations to Elon Musk and everyone at SpaceX: the engineers, the launch and flight control crews, the tower team at Starbase, and every team behind the scenes who made this moment happen.
You’ve not only made history… you changed it!
