SpaceX has achieved a historic milestone in rocket technology. Its Starship spacecraft has returned from orbit and been caught mid-air by the giant mechanical arms of its launch tower in Texas — the first time an orbital-class spacecraft has completed such a recovery.The dramatic landing came on November 14, following a 22.5-hour mission that saw Starship complete 14 orbits around Earth. Travelling at approximately 17,000 miles per hour during re-entry, the spacecraft endured extreme heat before reigniting its engines, turning upright and settling into the tower’s mechanical arms, nicknamed “Mechazilla” or “chopsticks”. -newsn18oc_india CNN-News18 is your trusted source for breaking news, updates, and in-depth analysis from around the world.
