„Îți vine să crezi?”. Premieră istorică pentru SpaceX: racheta Starship, prinsă în aer la întoarcerea pe Pământ

SpaceX's Starship successfully returned to Earth after a test flight, marking a historic achievement in space exploration. The spacecraft was caught mid-air by metal arms at the launch tower in Texas after a 22-hour mission. This event is significant as it is the first time a large spacecraft has been recovered intact from orbit. The mission included launching 26 Starlink satellites and completing 14 orbits around Earth. Despite an initial failure with the booster, the Starship's successful recovery demonstrates advancements in reusable rocket technology, potentially lowering costs for future NASA missions to the Moon and Mars.
