SpaceX completed its fifth test flight of its giant Starship rocket on Oct.13, which featured a successful first-ever attempt to catch the returning Super Heavy booster using mechanical "chopsticks" on the launch tower, a major milestone toward SpaceX's goal of making Starship a fully reusable rocket system.

Significant improvements have been made to the spacecraft since its first launch in April 2023, when the rocket exploded shortly after liftoff(发射).
