Original: SpaceX to attempt Starship catch on next flight, with eye on rapid cadence increase

SpaceX says it will try to catch its Super Heavy booster with the launch tower arms on Starship's next test flight, aiming to move quickly toward a higher launch cadence. The maneuver, if successful, would mark a major step toward full reusability of the rocket system that underpins SpaceX's Artemis lunar lander and Mars ambitions.

Why now: SpaceX announced the next Starship test will include the daring tower catch attempt, a first-of-its-kind milestone in rocket reusability
