The world's richest man and CEO of Tesla company, Elon Musk, always surprises people with his work. Elon Musk has now done such a feat that has surprised the whole world. Elon Musk has achieved a major milestone in the world of technology. October 13 was a very special day for Elon Musk. SpaceX took a new flight for this Starship rocket. This was SpaceX's fifth flight which was completely successful this time. 

This fifth flight of Elon Musk's Starship rocket was also very special because this was the first time that the Super Heavy Starship rocket successfully landed on the launch pad after launch. Let us give you detailed information about it. 

The rocket returned after going 96 kilometers from Earth.

Let us tell you that it was launched from the southern tip of Texas near the Mexican border. SpaceX sent the 400-foot-long Starship up to 96 kilometers above the Earth and then called it back. While returning, Mackilla successfully grabbed the Super Heavy booster while it was returning to the launchpad. Mackilla is made of two metal arms and its design is like chopsticks. Mackilla did not face any difficulty in catching the Starship rocket. 

Let us tell you that SpaceX had tested the Starship rocket four times but, so far the rocket has failed to make a successful return to Mexico. Earlier, the 4 Starship rockets launched had passed over the Gulf of Mexico making a curve but they had blasted shortly after. But, on October 13, SpaceX made history by successfully landing the rocket.  

Equipped with 700 times more thrust power

Let us tell you that Starship was equipped with 6 giant Raptor engines, but this time Super Heavy Starship has 3 Raptor engines. You can guess the power of Heavy Starship from the fact that its thrust power is 700 times more than that of normal flights. The 33 engines installed at the base of its booster generate a thrust of about 74 meganewtons. 

"This is a big day in engineering history," said Kate Tice of SpaceX from SpaceX headquarters in Hawthorne, California. It was up to the flight director to decide in real time whether to attempt a landing. "Guys, this is a historic day for engineering," said Kate Tice of SpaceX from SpaceX headquarters in Hawthorne, California.

SpaceX said that both the booster and the launch tower must be in good and stable condition, otherwise, the result would have been the same as the previous launch. During this launch, the Super Heavy booster that went into space was brought back to the launch site and landed on the tower.
