SpaceX showcases successful Super Heavy booster catch in new video ahead of sixth test flight

SpaceX has released new video footage showing the successful landing of its Super Heavy booster, which was caught mid-air by the launch tower's "chopstick" arms. This event, which took place during the fifth Starship test flight on October 13, marks a significant achievement in rocket recovery. The upcoming sixth test flight, scheduled for November 19, will follow a similar profile, including another attempt to catch the booster. The new video compares the actual landing to SpaceX's pre-flight animation, highlighting the accuracy of the booster’s return. SpaceX's successful catch is a key step toward making the Starship fully reusable. NASA is relying on Starship for its Artemis 3 lunar mission, and delays in development have raised concerns about the program's timeline.
