SpaceX makes history with Starship's first-ever catch after returning from orbit

In a landmark moment for space exploration, SpaceX on Saturday (local time) made history by successfully bringing its Starship spacecraft back from orbit and catching it upright in the mechanical arms of its launch tower, an unprecedented manoeuvre that could reshape the future of rocket reusability. The achievement marks the first time an orbital rocket's upper stage has returned from space and made a controlled and upright landing at its launch site, with the giant mechanical arms of SpaceX's launch tower, nicknamed 'Mechazilla', catching the spacecraft during its descent.
