“One small step for man, one giant leap for mankind” happened again just a few days ago, only in completely different circumstances.
You're on the list! Expect to receive your first email very soon!SpaceX made a giant step in engineering history when the metal arms of the ‘Mechazilla’ launch tower, taller than the Statue of Liberty, smoothly caught the Super Heavy booster. Yet Elon Musk and the entire SpaceX team do not seem to be resting on their laurels and are already thinking about what’s waiting next.
Asked about what was the most special part, Andrew told us that the moment he realized they were going for the catch, when he saw the booster on its way back from space. “Big step towards making life multiplanetary was made today. Becoming a space-faring civilization, being out there among the stars, this is one of the things that I know makes me glad to be alive, I think makes many people glad to be alive,” Elon shared. “Hopefully early next year, we will catch the ship too.”The company, which made spaceflight history, is planning to do the same ‘catch’ with Starship’s 50-meter-tall upper-stage spacecraft.
