SpaceX Starship successfully recovers from a chopstick rocket.
Musk's space exploration technology company (SpaceX) new generation of heavy carrier rocket "starship" launch, this is the "starship" fifth test flight, will be the first attempt to use the launch tower's robotic arm (also known as "chopsticks") in mid-air capture booster to achieve recovery and success。From the live footage, six minutes after the rocket was launched, the first-stage super-heavy rocket detached from the starship and returned to be caught in the air by a pair of huge metal pliers, which SpaceX calls "chopsticks."。After that, the Starship II continued its normal flight, and in about 1 hour and 5 minutes of launch, the second class successfully splashed into the Indian Ocean and successfully completed its scheduled mission.。
