ELON MUSK GIVES A TIMELINE FOR SPACEX'S FIRST STARSHIP CATCH ATTEMPT

Summary from the TLDR newsletter

Elon Musk predicts that SpaceX will likely be able to catch the Starship upper stage with its launch tower arms in a few months. The first reflight of a Starship vehicle is expected by the end of 2026 or early 2027. Catching the upper stage of Starship would mark a major milestone as it allows both stages to return directly to the launch site for quick refurbishment and reuse. Musk has long said that true reusability is essential for making humanity a multi-planetary species.
