On October 13th, SpaceX’s Starship spacecraft and its reusable booster Super Heavy launched from Boca Chica, Texas. In a world first, Super Heavy returned to the launch tower after separating from Starship and was caught by a pair of chopstick-like arms in a daring maneuver.

After stage separation, the rocket's first-stage booster completed its 20th flight by touching down atop a SpaceX drone ship in the Atlantic Ocean.
