Spacex's Super Heavy Booster Won't Attempt Mid-Air Landing Today

SpaceX's next-generation Starship spacecraft atop its powerful Super Heavy rocket is launched

Last month, SpaceX's Super Heavy rocket booster made headlines as it was caught mid-air by the company's Mechazilla launch tower in a spectacular landing. However, the company has decided not to attempt a similar landing today.

During its first attempt in October, SpaceX successfully landed the Super Heavy booster after flight, showcasing its advanced technology and capabilities. The decision not to attempt a landing today was based on real-time flight data evaluation, as SpaceX has always emphasized the importance of data-driven decisions.
