Elon Musk has once again amazed space enthusiasts. He posted a rare video on X (formerly Twitter). It showed a Starship upper stage making a vertical water landing.
Musk highlighted the importance of perfecting reentry first. “We need to perfect ship reentry at extreme temperatures,” he wrote. He explained this must happen before attempting a tower-arm catch. The booster already uses this technique for landings.
