SpaceX’s Starship test completes with a remarkable ‘chopstick’ booster catch

SpaceX's Super Heavy booster was caught by a launch tower using arms that the company has nicknamed the 'chopsticks' at the completion of Starship's fifth flight test yesterday. The remarkable catch was an important step towards making the Super Heavy booster a fully reusable launch system. Starship splashed down in the Indian Ocean a little over an hour after launch. A short clip of the booster being caught by the launch tower is available in the article.
