SpaceX made history when it successfully caught the Starship's Super Heavy booster in "chopstick" arms. Here is why it no longer uses landing gear.

The company achieved a major milestone during the fifth test flight of the vehicle, which could carry people to the moon and Mars, landing the rocket’s booster stage at a Texas launch site.

The risky maneuver is a step toward SpaceX’s goal of full reusability for Starship, which is the world’s most powerful rocket, and is key to NASA’s plans to return to the moon.

In a huge step forward for space technology, Musk-owned SpaceX ‘caught’ its Super heavy Starship booster on its Mechazilla tower.

Oct 13 (Reuters) - SpaceX in its fifth Starship test flight on Sunday returned the rocket's towering first stage booster back to its Texas launch pad for the first time using giant mechanical arms, achieving another novel engineering feat in the company's push to build a reusable moon and Mars vehicle.

The company completed a successful test flight of the most powerful rocket ever built. Some residents near the Texas site experienced shaking as the landing vehicle was caught by mechanical arms.

SpaceX’s Starship rocket completed its boldest test flight yet with the help of “chopsticks," the monstrous metal arms that caught the rocket booster back at the launch pad.

Elon Musk’s Starship rocket has completed a world first after part of it was captured on its return to the launch pad. The SpaceX vehicle's lower half manoeuvred back beside its launch tower where it was caught in a giant pair of mechanical arms,

Incredible photos showed Elon Musk’s SpaceX Starship making a spectacular “belly flop” splash-down in the Indian Ocean Sunday morning following a successful test flight. The Starship — which is designed to carry astronauts back to the moon by 2026 — successfully launched Sunday and then separated from its Falcon Super Heavy rocket booster.
