Elon Musk was thanked by Sundar Pichai after SpaceX successfully completed the most daring test mission to date.
As SpaceX successfully completed the most daring test flight of its massive Starship rocket to yet on Sunday, Sundar Pichai thanked Elon Musk. Using the mechanical arms of its launch pad, SpaceX, owned by Elon Musk, accomplished the amazing accomplishment of successfully intercepting the returning booster back of its Starship rocket.
Elon Musk posted video of the Starship rocket booster being captured on his social media account, X.
Musk said, “The tower has caught the rocket,” alluding to the first-stage booster that had returned to the launch pad after launching seven minutes earlier.
The 232-foot (71-meter) stainless steel launcher was dangling well above the ground when it was seized by the launch tower’s hideous metal arms, known as chopsticks.
Instead of landing the rocket booster on floating water platforms, the business has retrieved it directly on its launch pad for the first time. Google CEO Sundar Pichai was among the millions of people who praised the engineering achievement.
