SpaceX has achieved a historic milestone by successfully capturing the Super Heavy booster of its Starship rocket mid-air during the fifth test flight at its Starbase facility in Texas.

This unprecedented maneuver involved the 232-foot-talt booster executing precise

maneuvers to align with SpaceX's "Mechazilla" arms, which gently secured the rocket upon its return.

Such a bummer that it's owned by a Nazi.

@jztusk @radhemishra110 @SpaceX So was Ford. But the product and the engineers were still impressive in both cases. Schrödinger was a horrible human being. I still use his equation to this day. Separating the work from the person is important.

Yeah, the Ford thing was a bummer too.

And the whole work vs. creator question plays out differently depending on whether or not the creator is currently doing harms. Musk is currently helping Nazis *and* staining this research. Let's work on separating this person from this work, okay?
