Science Fiction without the Fiction: SpaceX Super Heavy Booster successfully lands "mid-air", caught by its base tower. First time a super heavy rocket can land like this in human history.
Der Super Heavy Booster von SpaceX ist gestern erfolgreich mitten in der Luft ohne Landebeine in seinem Basis-Tower Mechazilla in Texas gelandet. Das ist das erste Mal, dass eine super schwere Rakete auf diese spektakuläre Art landet.
Der Booster ist 71 Meter hoch, das würde ungefähr die Höhe eines 25-stöckigen Gebäudes entsprechen. Der Tower kommt sogar auf 120 Meter.
Das Trockengewicht des Super Heavy Booster beträgt 275 Tonnen, dazu kommen für Weltraummissionen unglaubliche 3400 Tonnen Treibstoff, bestehend aus 2700 Tonnen flüssigem Sauerstoff und 700 Tonnen flüssigem Methan.
Um Gewicht zu sparen, hat der Super Heavy Booster keine Landebeine, sondern landet in den Greifarmen des Towers.
Um die erfolgreiche Landung zu feiern, haben die SpaceX-Ingenieure auch ein lustiges Browser-Game programmiert.

Gratulation an SpaceX für die erfolgreiche Landung!

SpaceX's Super Heavy Booster successfully landed in mid-air without landing legs at its base tower Mechazilla in Texas yesterday. This is the first time that a super heavy rocket has landed in this spectacular way.
The booster is 71 meters high, which would be about the height of a 25-storey building. The tower even reaches 120 meters.
The dry weight of the Super Heavy Booster is 275 tons, plus an whopping 3400 tons of fuel for space missions, consisting of 2700 tons of liquid oxygen and 700 tons of liquid methane.
In order to save weight, the Super Heavy Booster has no landing legs but lands in the gripper arms (chopsticks) of the tower.
In celebration of the successful landing, SpaceX engineers have programmed a fun browser game.

It landed okay, although a little scorched. It will need a good cleaning.
I saw it online
It’s amazing!
I’m really happy about this news
Thanks for sharing
I suppose this is an important milestone in the history of rocket engineering and it's because of Elon Musk's creativity and perseverance. His Space X has made some significant progress since the time Musk was rebuffed by rocket scientists in Russia. This brings humanity one step closer to the actualisation of it's Mars' colonisation goal. Thanks for the update and have a great day.
Quite the first time I will be hearing about this
Yes congratulations to them for this great milestone.
Congratulations to the whole team and Elon Musk in particular…
It's nice to see the milestone. I hope space travel gets better and that it works out.
That's really awesome!
Science is making history once again and I'm proud of SpaceX for this feat achieved.
