First successful recovery on the launch pad itself has ignited the hopes of enthusiasts for space tourism and a safe landing on Earth during return from space.
India's Anand Mahindra shared his excitement in a post on X. “And this Sunday, I’m happy to be a couch potato, if it means that I get to watch history being made. This experiment may just be the critical moment when space travel was democratised and made routine. Where can I buy my ticket, @elonmusk?,” he wrote.
SpaceX achieved this feat during the fifth test flight of Starship rocket. This “catch-landing” method is the company's latest advance in its pursuit to develop fully reusable rocket that can lift more cargo into space orbit. Musk also envisions to ferry humans to moon and eventually the Mars using reusable launch vehicles.
