SpaceX rocket booster makes successful landing after test launch – using ‘chopsticks’
The launch of the fifth test flight from Elon Musk’s Space X Starship rocket has been a success.
It took off in Boca Chica, Texas and was the first attempt to bring the rocket’s Super Heavy booster back to the launch tower. After a slightly wobbly descent, the booster was successfully grabbed and clamped by the tower’s “chopsticks”.
Starship and Super Heavy are designed to carry crew and cargo to the moon and beyond – and be reusable.

Incredible, congratulations ❤❤❤
That was freakin' awesomeness!
Great coverage. The best I’ve seen from any news organization so far.
Unbelievable, imagine if instead of killing each other over land or religion we got behind stuff like this instead
Complimenti a tutti gli ingegneri per questo successo tecnologico.
Beyond incredible !
I’ve been a space enthusiast all my life, but when Elon Musk turned Twitter into a disinformation machine, that’s when I stopped.
Looks like a LeBron James 6 pointer!
Kamala will have a word salad to describe this event!
Elon is our ancestor we don't have same edge with him❤❤❤
How cool is that!
Why is the immense pollution never mentioned?
Can we just put Elon in charge of everything?
SO COOL!! A real tribute to Elon Musk's intellect & vision. Take a well deserved bow Sir.
I doubt there's such a thing as "double double sonic boom"
And people think Elon can't make Robi taxis lol!! I don't understand the haters on this man. He's literally in the drivers seat propelling America forward.
Incredible!
Got to show Don lemon this clip….hold my beer
The greatest show on earth,it's "SHOWTIME"
Elon is one of the greatest Genius of our generation. Oh Lord!
Absolutely unreal. What a time to be alive.
Historic. Amazing.
"General , I want the rocket to be pointy. "
Space: the final frontier.
Wow
Great achievement, but my concern iis the fumes and how they negatively affect our atmosphere and nature in general. At what cost? Its time we took care of our environment
Wtf did I just see?? Somebody had to beam Elon down! No other explanation.
One success does not equal true success. It has to be repeated. Scientific method.
No government has ever built a more powerful rocket, to say nothing of the speed with which this has been achieved. Their Chief Rocket Scientist is Mr Elon Musk.
#JustSaying
And I am here I cannot even center a <DIV/>
Amazing only Elon could come up with enough superbly intelligent people to develop this marvelous machine. He's not afraid to work with highly intelligent people.
Omg 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Like a roomba finding its dock
What a nice generation to live in
Still no Gta 6 damm
❤😊ii love space w3lcom nasa tu morocan kingdom four new project❤
What's the reason for mid air catch vs ground landing ?
Amazing 👏
All hater liberal media has been shut off
"Successful"? IT BLEW UP. It exploded. It's in bits. Millions of dollars down the drain – AGAIN. THIS IS NOT MUSK'S MONEY!
How many Apollo rockets did NASA "deliberately" blow up before going to the moon?
This is a decadent, stupid, money gobbling scam. SHAME ON AMERICA for this pointless waste.
Yep….that's real….
Some of skeptics on FB easily said the posted video there was just a reversely played video when they all see was a clip of that booster reignited on its descent to slow down on its way to a catch-arm. I pity them of course.
Can’t wait for some conspiracy gullible types to claim this wasn’t real- like they did for Moon landings👽
