SpaceX is launching its 15th Starship mission today from Texas, aiming to make its first-ever catch of the Starship upper stage at its Texas launch site, while the Super Heavy booster has already been recovered on land before.
If all goes well, it'll be a big leap toward Elon Musk's goal of rockets you can use over and over.
Bonus: they're also sending up more Starlink satellites to boost global internet coverage.
NASA invests $3.2B in Starship
Landing both parts of the rocket back on land would make future launches way cheaper and more frequent, something SpaceX hopes to nail by 2027.
NASA's betting big too, investing roughly $3.2 billion in Starship as part of its Artemis program, with plans to use it for landing astronauts on the Moon by 2028 if everything checks out.
