SpaceX rocket booster makes successful landing after test launch - using 'chopsticks'

#skynews #spacex #elonmusk
The launch of the fifth test flight from Elon Musk's Space X Starship rocket has been a success.

It took off in Boca Chica, Texas and was the first attempt to bring the rocket's Super Heavy booster back to the launch tower. After a slightly wobbly descent, the booster was successfully grabbed and clamped by the tower's "chopsticks".

Starship and Super Heavy are designed to carry crew and cargo to the moon and beyond - and be reusable.
