SpaceX has successfully captured a Starship spacecraft using a mezzanine tower for the first time after a test flight.
The spacecraft completed a 22-hour orbital flight, completing 14 orbits around the Earth. After returning, the starship was captured by the tower's mechanical grip on the launch pad.
Previously, such a landing could only be accomplished with the super heavy booster, the first stage of the rocket.
The starship is being developed for future manned missions to the Moon and Mars.
