Despite initial optimism for a booster catch—a method designed to recover the Super Heavy for reuse—the team called off this effort when the conditions did not meet predetermined criteria. Instead, the booster proceeded with its boost back burn, ultimately leading to a controlled water landing in the Gulf Coast region of Texas. This marked yet another success in SpaceX’s goal to achieve sustainable rocket reusability, albeit in a more conservative manner due to safety priorities.
