SpaceX has pulled off its biggest salvage operation yet, recovering its most recently launched Starship from the Indian Ocean. Elon Musk’s company is now in the process of shipping Starship back to its home base in Texas. The trip will take several months. SpaceX shared pictures of the recovery effort near Christmas Island late this week. Starship blasted off on July 24 from Starbase, Texas. It was the 13th test flight of a full-up Starship. But unlike all the others, it survived the hourlong space-skimming flight and remained floating and intact. Starship is the biggest and most powerful rocket in the world.
