SpaceX on Thursday launched its biggest Starship prototype rocket yet in a 7th test mission from Texas.
Washington:
SpaceX succeeded Thursday in once more catching the descending first-stage booster of its Starship megarocket in the “chopstick” arms of its launch tower, a stunning engineering feat it first accomplished in October.
The gleaming stainless-steel booster carefully lowered itself using its thrusters, prompting cheers and applause from the SpaceX mission control team at Starbase, in Boca Chica, Texas.
