SpaceX is taking on a big challenge with its 15th Starship test flight this Friday (November 13).
For the first time, they're trying to catch both the Super Heavy booster and Ship 42 using the launch tower's "chopstick" arms.
The launch window opens at 5:45pm EST, so all eyes are on whether this bold recovery move works.
SpaceX advances reusability with splashdown fallback
Ship 42 is linked to The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy through its serial number (42), bringing a bit of sci-fi fun into real-life space travel.
This mission is a major step toward SpaceX's goal of making rockets reusable and flying them up to 10,000 times a year by 2030.
If anything goes wrong with the catch attempt, they'll do an ocean splashdown instead, keeping things moving fast for their next try.
