VIDEO | SpaceX Makes History: Rocket Booster 'Caught' Mid-Air on Launchpad in Groundbreaking First

In a historic first, SpaceX successfully "caught" a falling rocket booster mid-air using its innovative launchpad technology during its latest test flight.

This dramatic achievement took place as the Super Heavy booster returned from its mission, seamlessly landing back on the launch pad at Boca Chica, Texas, thanks to a pair of giant metal arms known as "Mechazilla." Witness the moment as the towering 71-metre-tall booster descends, relighting its engines to slow its descent before being captured by the launch tower.

CEO Elon Musk celebrated the milestone on social media, showcasing the company’s advancements toward fully reusable rocket technology.

This breakthrough is a significant step in SpaceX's mission to develop a spacecraft capable of facilitating human journeys to the Moon and Mars.
