On the next #Starship flight, #SpaceX plans to attempt to recover the #booster using catch arms 🦾. "We want to be really confident that the ship #HeatShield 🔥🛡️ is super robust and lands at the exact right location 🎯. So before we try to bring the #ship back to the launch site, we probably want to have at least three successful landings of the ship 🚀 [at sea 🌊]." https://arstechnica.com/space/2024/08/rocket-report-falcon-9-is-back-starship-could-be-recovered-off-australia/
