In all previous tests, the rocket fell or did not return as planned by the developers.

The fifth test launch of the SpaceX spacecraft was successful. For the first time, it is possible to successfully capture the first stage of a rocket and land it on a launch pad in Texas. This was reported by the SpaceX press service on Sunday, October 13.

In previous tests, the rocket crashed or did not return as planned.

In the first test, the missile system exploded minutes after launch.

In November 2023, the two rocket stages separated, and the upper one continued to fly, but soon both exploded separately.

In the third attempt, the Starship reached space for the first time, but it also failed to complete the flight.

On the fourth flight in June, the ship made a controlled landing, but it did not happen as the developers had hoped.

Let’s remember that SpaceX has announced ambitious plans to conduct about five unmanned Starship missions to Mars in the next two years.

It was previously reported that the first flights to Mars could take place within two years, and the landing of the first humans on this planet within four years.
