Video: SpaceX catches Super Heavy rocket falling from space in stunning catch

India Today  

SpaceX launched the seventh test flight of its Starship rocket on Thursday, marking a significant step in the company's push to advance the development of its massive spacecraft. SpaceX successfully guided the booster to a pinpoint landing at the launch site, utilising the "chopsticks" - the metal arms of the 'Mechazilla' tower designed to catch rocket stages as they return from space. Data transmission stopped about nine minutes into the flight, and SpaceX communications manager Dan Huot confirmed that the company was "assuming that the ship has been lost". The deployment of these objects in space is a key test of the rocket's capabilities, as SpaceX looks to demonstrate how it will handle much larger and heavier satellites in the future.
