Elon Musk accidentally leaks SpaceX call revealing near disaster during Starship launch
Elon Musk accidentally leaked a SpaceX staff call during a gaming session, revealing details about the recent Flight 5 launch. This mission successfully launched Starship and caught its booster, Super Heavy, with the Mechazilla launch tower. During the call, SpaceX staff discussed a critical moment when they were one second away from aborting the landing due to a misconfiguration. They noted that this close call could have led to the booster crashing instead of being caught. The team outlined improvements needed for the next flight, although no date or specific goals have been announced yet.
