The Starship, a 400-foot behemouth composed of both a rocket and a vehicle, underwent its fifth uncrewed demonstration Sunday morning from a launch site in Boca Chica near Brownsville, Texas. And this time around, SpaceX founder Elon Musk upped the ante setting the goal of not only returning the 232-foot rocket booster to the launch site, but snatching it the out of the air with two giant mechanical arms. The massive Starship spacecraft built and operated by SpaceX flew on its boldest flight test yet, marking a pivotal step forward for the vehicle that will take astronauts to the surface of the moon and one day on to Mars. Is life on Mars about to become a reality ?
