Catching the super heavy booster -SpaceX
A Monumental Achievement in Space Technology
On my X feed, I shared a moment that truly highlights the cutting-edge work being done by Elon Musk’s SpaceX. They’ve managed to catch the Super Heavy booster, weighing an incredible 250 tons, with centimeter precision right after it descended from space at supersonic speeds. Imagine the skill and technology required to catch something the size of a 33-story building!
After launch the booster separates from the head of the rocket then The launch platforms arms/chopsticks were used to catch the 39 storey-rocket! Who thinks of these things?
It’s a significant step towards making space travel more routine and cost-effective. By reusing these massive rockets, SpaceX is breaking down the financial barriers of space exploration, bringing us closer to a future where interplanetary travel could be commonplace.
