How SpaceX Landed A Rocket... Without Landing Legs. Catching a Giant Rocket With Giant Chopsticks

This morning SpaceX performed the 5th flight of their Starship/SuperHeavy launch system and once again made a clear step forward as they demonstrated precision touchdown with both the booster and the Starship. The booster touchdown demonstrated a radical new recovery method with the rocket carefully maneuvering next to a tower to be caught by a pair of arms, eliminating complicated articulating legs and shock absorbers. The Starship stage flew to the Indian ocean and guided itself to a precision touchdown next to a buoy with a camera, delivering video of the landing and showing the accuracy of the guidance. Even more impressive when it became clear how much damage the control surfaces sustained during entry.
