Starship Flight 13 Timeline Taking Shape | B20 Passes First Cryo Test | Starship Update

On October 13, 2024, SpaceX successfully caught a Super Heavy booster upon its return from space using the "Mechazilla" launch tower's massive mechanical arms (nicknamed "chopsticks") at Starbase, Texas. This historic feat occurred during the fifth Starship test flight, with the booster returning directly to the launch site, eliminating the need for landing legs and allowing for rapid reusability.
