Starship Flight - 5 | Starships were meant to fly! (Edit)
--------------------------------------------------------------------
The Starship Program -
Starship is a two-stage super heavy-lift launch vehicle under development by SpaceX. As of June 2024, it is the largest and most powerful rocket ever flown. Starship is intended to lower launch costs significantly via economies of scale. It is designed to carry crew or/and cargo to Earth orbit, the Moon, Mars, and beyond. Put together, the rocket system is nearly 120+ metres tall, making it the largest rocket ever flown — taller than even the Saturn V (111 m), which took Neil Armstrong to the Moon.

Starship Flight 5 -
Starship flight test 5 was the fifth flight test of a SpaceX Starship launch vehicle. The prototype vehicles flown were the Starship Ship 30 upper-stage and Super Heavy Booster 12. This launch is notable for being the first time an orbital-class rocket has been caught out of mid air.

After launching and delivering the Starship upper stage into a suborbital trajectory heading toward a splashdown in the Indian Ocean, the Super Heavy booster turned around and fired its Raptor engines to return back to the launch site. As the booster approached the launch pad it slowed to a near hover and did a horizontal slide maneuver to line itself up with two massive "chopstick" arms on the launch tower, dubbed "Mechazilla." The arms then closed around the booster before the engines shut down.
