Billionaire Elon Musk's company SpaceX successfully launched the Starship spaceship, the most powerful rocket in the world, from the American state of Texas on its fifth test flight, and its rocket part successfully returned to Earth for the first time, where it was received by large mechanical arms.

The Super Heavy rocket took off with the spacecraft at 7.25:XNUMX a.m. local time from Boca Chica, Texas.

The spacecraft was sent into space in a direction over the Indian Ocean, west of Australia, where it will try to re-enter the atmosphere and land on water.

The Super Heavy rocket separated from the Starship at an altitude of 74 kilometers and returned to the same area from which it was launched, where it landed with the help of two robotic arms attached to the launch tower.
