Elon Musk made a revolution. SpaceX caught a rocket in the air for the first time.
For the first time, SpaceX managed to grab the starship with the "claws" of the launch tower after a test flight. During the day, the starship orbited Earth 14 times, sending new Starlink satellites into orbit and returning to the launch site. Previously, Elon Musk's company managed to land only the first stage of the super heavy rocket this way.
Instead of falling into the sea, the booster returned straight to the launch point. Musk plans to make the starship completely reusable, which will significantly reduce the cost of space launches and bring humanity closer to flights to Mars.
