The clip shows SpaceX’s Starship flight test from onboard and external cameras. The booster descends toward the launch tower, is caught by the tower’s mechanical arms, and remains suspended as smoke clears. The joke is the contrast between Elon Musk’s alleged Twitter attention-seeking and SpaceX achieving an impressive rocket catch in the background.

Just like this silver flare coming back to the once again we are standing by for Attempting to catch the booster at the tower. This would be the second tower catch See it 13 engines Booster now hovering as it aligns with the tower for catch Booster coming in Megador has caught the booster. You heard it here, Bexzilla has caught the booster. Once again for the second time a successful catch by the launch tower. This is the same tower the launch pad were. That booster took off from just seven and a half minutes ago.
