Oct 13, 2024. A 70-meter booster falls back from the edge of space, and the tower that launched it reaches out and catches it. First try. Experts called it insane. Elon called it the path to Mars. He bet that the only way to become multiplanetary is a rocket you can fly again within hours, like an airplane. Catching it with the tower was the boldest step yet. Next stop: Mars.
