@SpaceX I can’t wait to see them nail it on the first attempt. If I wasn’t in St. Louis this weekend, I’d be driving down right now to see it in person. Good luck and Godspeed, SpaceX. 🚀

@SpaceX You know why Evel Knievel was so great ? Because he did it first. Space X will always be the top dog because they did it First. Congrats

SpaceX has made history by successfully catching the Super Heavy booster of its Starship rocket mid-air during the fifth test flight at its Starbase facility in Texas. In a groundbreaking move, the 232-foot booster performed precise maneuvers to align with SpaceX's "Mechazilla" arms, which smoothly captured the rocket as it returned. This achievement represents a significant step forward in SpaceX's goal of rapid rocket reusability, advancing its capabilities in space exploration.

SpaceX ditched Mechazilla’s hydraulics for one brutal reason: fluid compression delays. When catching a 70-meter Super Heavy booster falling from the sky, standard hydraulics have a tiny, millisecond lag time that can cause a catastrophic crash. To fix this, SpaceX switched to ultra-responsive electromechanical actuators. These electric drives provide instant, millimeter-level control, giving the giant chopstick arms the flawless reflex speeds needed to catch a multi-ton rocket mid-air without a single stutter. #SpaceX #Mechazilla #Starship #RocketEngineering #Shorts #ElonMusk #Engineering #Aerospace #TechInnovation

More Mechazilla Booster Catching testing is going on at Starbase Tower 1. This was the fastest the chopsticks have closed in the catch position on the tower so far. Since then, the sticks have lowered, as if with a caught booster.

10 years ago today, on December 21, 2015, SpaceX achieved a groundbreaking milestone in spaceflight history. The company successfully performed the first-ever orbital rocket landing of its Falcon 9 first stage. This marked the first time a rocket stage was successfully returned to Earth and landed vertically after launching a payload into orbit. Now, in 2025, SpaceX is catching rockets in mid-air with giant tower arms.

Elon Musk: It's mind-blowing that we were able to catch Starship out of the air with giant chopsticks. “It's really mind-blowing that the SpaceX team has been able to catch the largest flying object ever made multiple times using a very novel method of catching it out of the air with giant chopsticks. I mean, have you ever seen that before? Congrats! That was an incredible achievement.” SpaceX Update, May 29, 2025

Elon Musk, six months ago: The odds of us catching the booster this year are 80% to 90%. “I would say the odds of us actually being able to catch the booster with the Mechazilla arms this year – I don't want to tempt fate, knock on wood – I think the odds of actually catching the booster with the tower are probably 80%, 90% this year, which is insane. Actually, when we first talked about it, it sounded so batshit crazy. It's literally bigger than Mechazilla from this movie that you'd catch, the biggest flying object ever made with mechanical arms out of the air. But we're going to do it. It may not work, you know, necessarily the first time, but it will work.” SpaceX Update, April 2024

Elon Musk explains exactly how Space X's Mechazilla can catch the Super Heavy booster. On Sunday morning, Space X successfully caught a 20+ story tall rocket booster. "This is a custom-built tower with arms that are designed to catch the largest flying and heaviest flying object ever made and pluck it outta the air." "It'll weigh about 250 tons. We'll make that lighter over time." "So you got a couple hundred tons plummeting at more than half the speed of sound. So this thing is still coming in really fast." "When the engines land... it's gonna drop the velocity to basically zero and come in between the arms." "The arms will be wide, and as it's coming in, the arms will, will close, go flush against the side of the vehicle, and the vehicle will be descending through the arms." "The probability is uncertain, but it is above zero." Insane.

WHY THE CHOPSTICKS SYSTEM WILL LEAD US INTO A MULTI PLANETARY SPECIES SpaceX’s "chopsticks" has officially redefined how rockets return to Earth, solving a key issue with the Super Heavy booster landings. By catching the rocket mid-air, this system eliminates the need for landing legs, drastically reducing the booster’s mass and fuel consumption while increasing payload capacity. This advancement allows for quicker reuse of rockets, cutting down both maintenance time and costs. The solution is more than just an engineering feat—it marks a critical shift in space travel’s future. By perfecting rocket reusability, SpaceX is breaking down barriers to space exploration, making missions more affordable and sustainable. It brings humanity closer to frequent space travel, allowing businesses, researchers, and even individuals to explore new frontiers, with a long-term vision of life beyond Earth.

🇺🇸 ELON: STARSHIP TO BE CAUGHT MID-AIR BY TOWER THIS YEAR SpaceX aims to catch Starship using the launch tower’s giant arms—just like it already does with the Super Heavy booster. If successful, it would mark a huge leap toward rapid reusability. No ocean landings, no recovery ships—just launch, catch, refuel, repeat. Elon: “Later this year, if fate smiles upon SpaceX, the ship will be caught by the tower, just like the booster.” Reusable Starship is essential for building a sustainable route to Mars.
