SpaceX Starship Flight 12 Launches in 25 Minutes — Here's Why It Matters #Shorts

Starship Flight 12 lifts off in 25 minutes.

This is the 12th time SpaceX will fire the most powerful rocket ever built. Starship stands 120 meters tall. It generates 17 million pounds of thrust. That's twice the Saturn V. The booster returns to the launch tower for a midair catch by mechanical arms. But Flight 12 tests something nobody's tried before. SpaceX is attempting the first hot-staging separation with a tower catch on the same flight. If the booster survives reentry and the arms grab it, they've closed the full reuse loop. Mars missions depend on this working.
