SpaceX Starship Flight 5 Recap

On Sunday, Oct. 13, 2024, SpaceX made history by catching its Super Heavy booster, tail number B12, mid-air during the Starship Flight 5 mission. The company was also able to push forward the progress on the upper stage, as Ship 30 made it to a soft splashdown in the Indian Ocean while sustaining less damage as compared to Flight 4.

I thought the arms caught the booster by the Gridfins not those pegs on the side of it NOW THAT is HISTORIC not just to make the landing but land in the direction needed to not touch the grid fins, its like HOY SHIT! I thought it caught it by the gridfins! I think Starship launch 6 they need to catch the booster and the ship!! Now that they have proved they can catch the booster now its time to catch the ship too!

Didn't it catch it at the end of it's flight, not mid-flight?

It's kinda pathetic how you have to make people subscribe and pay to comment on her, wow doesn't musk pay for all the SpaceX stuff? Your just greedy and want all the money you can get. I'm going to have to do something about this. What about the people who want to chat, but don't have the money too, haven't you thought about that? It's all about you and your wanting money that bad. This is a public thing and the public should have the right to pay or not, but if they don't pay they should still be allowed to chat, I'm gonna see what I can do to make YouTube change this. Pathetic
