SpaceX pulled off its boldest test flight yet of the enormous Starship rocket on Sunday, catching the returning booster back at the launch pad with mechanical arms.

Towering almost 400 feet, the empty Starship blasted off at sunrise from the southern tip of Texas near the Mexican border. It arced over the Gulf of Mexico like the four Starships before it that ended up being destroyed, either soon after liftoff or while ditching into the sea. The last one in June was the most successful yet, completing its flight without exploding.

This time, SpaceX founder and CEO Elon Musk upped the challenge and risk. The company brought the first-stage booster back to land at the pad from which it had soared seven minutes earlier. The launch tower sported monstrous metal arms, dubbed chopsticks, that caught the descending 232-foot booster.

Nasa is scratching its head saying this is impossible. It’s AI. It’s not true. Mean while Elon is giving nasa the bird. I love it.

I'll be honest... I almost thought the video was in reverse! Until I realized the flames were going the wrong way, but then again, historical, it was going the wrong way. Lol
How flipping amazing!

This occurs only when resources, i.e., humans, materials, and mathematics, are applied with a consciousness.

It's amazing, incredible as we know ❤️..
But in reality, it shows how dumb we really are, how far we are away from real space travel on the level of wifi we expect
