SpaceX is all set for its historic Starship test flight today, attempting its first-ever “double catch”. During the mission, the company will try to recover both the Super Heavy booster and the upper-stage Starship using the launch tower’s mechanical “chopstick” arms. If successful, it will mark the first full recovery of an entire orbital rocket system, representing a major milestone in SpaceX’s push for rapid reusability.
