SpaceX Catches Starship Upper Stage With Launch Tower in Texas
Ars Technica ยท
At a glance
SpaceX caught the upper stage of its Starship rocket with a launch tower at Starbase, Texas, after the ship flew around Earth and came back under its own power. The company has now brought both parts of the rocket back to the tower.
Key points
- The Starship upper stage returned from orbit and was caught by the launch tower's two arms.
- The ship had orbited Earth several times before coming back.
- SpaceX has now returned both parts of the Starship rocket safely to its tower.
- The company aims to reuse the rocket much more often in the future.
Why it matters
Reusing a rocket this large could make space travel far cheaper and more frequent, which would change how people reach space.

NASA's Perseverance rover found hundreds of large organic carbon molecules in mudstone rocks on Mars, right on the surface and only a few microns deep. The find was made without drilling and suggests such material may have been spread widely across Mars long ago. Scientists stressed that organic carbon alone does not prove life existed.
