SpaceX on Sunday (Oct. 13) achieved the recovery feat on the fifth integrated test of its Starship spacecraft and Super Heavy booster. The nearly 400-foot-tall (121-meter), steel-skinned vehicle sent the Starship into space at 8:25 a.m. EDT (1225 GMT or 7:25 a.m. CDT local time) before the Super Heavy relit some of its 33 engines to fly back to SpaceX's Starbase production and launch facility in Texas. As Super Heavy lowered itself next to its launch tower, two large mechanical arms pinched the rocket's body, catching it like a pair of chopsticks.[/i]</blockquote> <center><a href="http://www.collectspace.com/news/news-101324a-spacex-starship-super-heavy-test-flight-five.html" target="AirLock"><img src="http://www.collectspace.com/images/news-101324ff-lg.jpg" width="400" height="225" border="0"></a></center>
