Elon Musk’s rocket company successfully caught its massive spacecraft at a Texas launchpad after it returned from orbit.

SpaceX's attempt to recover its entire Starship back at the launch pad was thwarted when the booster fell into the Gulf of Mexico and exploded Friday, but the spacecraft still soared into orbit in its boldest test yet.
