The Super Heavy booster has successfully returned to its launchpad, where it is suspended mid-air between two massive metal arms known as 'chopsticks.' The moment was met with waves of deafening cheers from SpaceX engineers and employees, marking a significant achievement in the mission.
Although the Super Heavy booster has completed its task, the Starship spacecraft continues its journey through space. Following detachment from the booster, the spacecraft ignited its engines and is currently coasting through space.
In approximately one hour, the Starship will undergo a crucial reentry into Earth's atmosphere, representing another high-risk milestone for today's flight. The spacecraft is set to execute a landing maneuver over the Indian Ocean, a moment that will be closely monitored by space enthusiasts and experts alike.
