For the first time, SpaceX managed to grab the starship with the "claws" of the launch tower after a test flight.
Previously, Elon Musk's company managed to land only the first stage of the super heavy rocket this way.
During the day, the starship circled the Earth 14 times, also sent new Starlink satellites into orbit and returned to the launch site - the Starbase space port in Texas.
This is a big step towards creating a fully reusable space system - before that, SpaceX had already managed to catch a super heavy booster, but a starship itself was returned in this way for the first time after a flight in orbit.
In the future, such technology should reduce the cost of space launches.
