On October 13th, SpaceX’s Starship spacecraft and its reusable booster Super Heavy launched from Boca Chica, Texas. In a world first, Super Heavy returned to the launch tower after separating from Starship and was caught by a pair of chopstick-like arms in a daring maneuver.

You know you live in the space age when solar storms knock out farmers' GPS-reliant tractors and a camera in Earth's lofty orbit films a rocket launching through the atmosphere. This camera attached to the International Space Station — the SpaceTV-1 instrument operated by the Earth-monitoring company Sen — captured the launch of SpaceX's colossal Starship rocket on Nov.

SpaceX has launched another Starship rocket, but passed up catching it with giant mechanical arms. The world's biggest and most powerful rocket blasted off from Texas on Tuesday.
