Starship Flight 15 launch, ship catch & CNN's first reactions - YouTube
In an unprecedented maneuver, the Starship spacecraft came sweeping down to a pinpoint landing within the arms of SpaceX’s Mechazilla launch tower.
This marks the first time in the history of rocketry that the upper stage of a rocket has returned home from orbit to a safe, upright landing — potentially paving the way for it to be used again.
SpaceX attempted to guide the Super Heavy rocket booster back to a pinpoint landing at its South Texas launch tower, called Mechazilla, but the maneuver was ultimately unsuccessful. The company redirected the booster to splash down in the Gulf.
