Elon Musk Revealed What Exactly Happened During Landing Of Starship!

October 13, 2024, will be remembered as a day SpaceX achieved what many thought was impossible. The fifth test flight of Starship not only launched successfully but also featured a groundbreaking moment: the Super Heavy booster was caught mid-air by the Mechazilla system-a massive structure with its "chopstick" arms. This achievement represents a critical step toward SpaceX’s vision of full rocket reusability, a concept that could significantly lower the costs of space travel.
Despite SpaceX openly sharing the details of its ambitious plans, many doubted the feasibility of catching a booster mid-air. The idea seemed too futuristic, almost like something straight out of a science fiction movie. Skeptics have often viewed Musk’s ambitious goals as marketing tactics meant to grab attention. This was especially true when Musk first revealed his intentions to reuse the Falcon 9 booster after launch and land it back on Earth-something many experts at the time considered impossible. But, as history has shown, Musk proved them wrong.
Once again, Musk and SpaceX have silenced their critics. The successful launch, separation, and booster catch of Starship shows that SpaceX is making significant progress toward its reusability goals, proving that what once seemed unattainable is now a reality.
The mission began with a flawless liftoff from SpaceX’s Starbase in Boca Chica, Texas, at 7:25 a.m. local time. The Super Heavy booster (B12), fitted with 33 Raptor engines, delivered the Starship to an altitude where stage separation occurred about 2 minutes and 40 seconds into the flight. While Starship continued its journey into space, the booster began its descent back to Earth, reigniting its engines as it approached the landing site.
What happened next was something previously only seen in science fiction. As the booster neared the launch pad at over 3,200 km/h, it was carefully guided between the outstretched arms of Mechazilla, which caught the massive rocket in mid-air. This moment, which lasted less than 10 seconds, represented years of planning, development, and refinement of SpaceX's technology. The ability to catch the booster directly at the launch site instead of relying on ocean landings or drone ships significantly reduces turnaround time, pushing SpaceX closer to its vision of rapidly reusable rockets.

Catching a rocket after flight actually happened in 1967 ! I flew and then caught my model rocket as it came down on a parachute . I used a B engine !

[@Calatriste54]

Astonishing.

[@wayneirwin-f1z]

Was the flame on the bottom after it was caught,a pilot light?

[@MubarekMustefa-c2u]

I do believe that fifth flight SpaceX Starship showed significant changes than flight 3 and 4

Those flaps need not be at sides, but closer to S.S. middle crating more negative pressure on hinge. Plasma flow is just to hot for hinge.

Elon/Starship is a National Treasure!

ANOTHER A.I. PRODUCTION VIDEO WITH NO SOUL

[@majorroadworks5687]

Elon reveals exactly nothing in this video, but you can buy a plastic model

[@なお-j6m]

？

[@duanvogel3684]

Jip. We still don’t know what had happened. Why even mentioning it ??

[@DaveBigDawg]

Of course the FAA will say they need further review

[@scottjohnston1028]

Apparently, the FAA says the mission met all of its stated intentions so all is good. I think flight 6 is imminent as Spacex is always working ahead. Their rapid development system appears to be quite good and they obviously have the best and brightest to pull this off.

[@DaveBigDawg]

@@scottjohnston1028 that's good to hear

[@eveliaperez3480]

Traducción spanish pleased

[@scottjohnston1028]

Is it just me or is this rocket starting to look completely normal now, where prior, I thought it would never fly or be very maneuverable. I liken it to balancing a baseball bat on the end of your finger and trying to steady it. The engineers and software developers sure have this down to a science now and have demonstrated the bat on the finger balance act comes down to basic predictable math, chemistry and physics and the universal laws surrounding their relationships and of course now that computers can run so fast and figure this stuff out as fast as it is happening live. Newton, Einstein, Hawking and all of the great scientists and mathematicians would be impressed, or not, and would be saying, "I told you so".

[@tombambauer5220]

I'm pretty sure the ship was blown up

[@adamburling9551]

Not

[@k.sullivan6303]

Elon Musk is an A hole!

[@geoffmika]

No you are!!

[@brucemcglasson]

Your the A hole.

[@adamburling9551]

You'll get over it wimp

[@tommyspringfield7687]

what dose this have to do with the space ship catch?
