SpaceX to attempt catching both Starship and booster on Flight 15
Original: Elon Musk: SpaceX Will Attempt to Catch BOTH Starship & Booster on Flight 15!
Elon Musk says SpaceX will attempt to catch both the Starship upper stage and its Super Heavy booster during the rocket's fifteenth test flight. The plan would extend the catch technique the company has already demonstrated with the booster, applying it to the ship as well. Space watchers are discussing the technical challenge involved and what a successful double catch would mean for the rocket's rapid reusability goals.
Why now: SpaceX's planned double catch would be a major step toward full rapid reusability of the Starship system.
