This morning SpaceX conducted its first successful landing of the Starship first stage booster. After separation from the Starship payload, the booster returned to Earth where it was caught by the "chopsticks" on the launch tower. The amazing video below is queued to a few seconds before landing, when the booster emerges from the clouds, hurtling groundward at 3,500 kilometers per hour. At less than a kilometer in altitude, the rockets ignite, slowing the booster to a standstill and gently depositing it into the waiting arms of the launch tower from which it had departed 7 minutes earlier.
