For the first time SpaceX will attempt to catch the Super Heavy booster, which sits at the bottom of the two-stage vehicle, as it returns to the launchpad in Texas.
SpaceX’s Starship is set to take off its fifth test flight as Elon Musk pushes ahead in his quest to build the most powerful operational rocket system in history.
Being able to land the booster safely increases its chances of being rapidly reusable, which would reduce the costs of spacefaring.
