SpaceX Starship Captured by Mechazilla The upper stage of the starship rocket successfully returned to the launch pad and was captured by the tower's mechanical arms. The flight lasted about 22.5 hours, during which the spacecraft orbited the Earth 14 times and deployed 26 Starlink V3 satellites. The attempt to catch Sofer's heavy stimulator was blessed by a lack of fuel; It was assigned to the Gulf of Mexico and destroyed by the security establishment. However, the capture of the ship itself is a significant step towards a fully recoverable rocket, with the goal of drastically reducing launch costs for future lunar and Mars missions. @Slavyangrad.
