Starship Flight 15: Real catch Vs SpaceX simulation
This clip shows a comparison between the actual footage of Ship 42 caught by ‘Mechazilla’ at Starbase, Texas, and the simulation SpaceX had shared of the flight a few weeks before lift off. Starship upper stage, Ship 42, was caught on Saturday, November 14, at about 4:20 p.m. ET, about 22 and a half hours after liftoff. History has been made as this is the first time a Starship upper stage has been recovered by the tower. The Super Heavy booster catch was called off on Friday as it was running low on fuel, and the booster splashed down in the Gulf of Mexico.
