US aerospace company SpaceX has moved closer to creating a fully reusable rocket, returning a starship's upper stage to its launch point for the first time and catching it with mechanical arms on its return to Earth. The 124 m high ship was launched into space on November 13, it launched 26 new Starlink satellites into orbit and made 15 orbits around the Earth at an altitude of about 275 km. This time, for the first time, SpaceX intended to capture not only the upper stage of the 52-meter long ship, but also the lower (first) stage of 72 meters - the super heavy booster. However, during its return, it fell into the Gulf of Mexico (forced ejection, SpaceX explained).
