After failing to catch a booster yesterday, SpaceX managed to recapture its massive reusable rocketship, "Starship" for the first time. Smaller previous models have successfully relanded but they require heavy legs and aren't fully reusable. Story by Daniel Quinlan. SpaceX's Starship has made history by returning from orbit and being caught by the giant mechanical arms of its launch tower in Texas. The milestone marks a major step towards fully reusable.
