SpaceX to attempt first catch of Starship and booster next month, Musk says

Elon Musk said SpaceX will try to catch both Starship and its Super Heavy booster next month, aiming to recover the entire orbital launch system for the first time. He said success is more likely than not but not guaranteed, and that SpaceX has a steady stream of flights planned through the end of the year.

• Musk: catch attempt for Starship and Super Heavy set for next month
• Success would mark the first full recovery of an orbital launch vehicle
• Last flight saw a Raptor engine shut down early, cutting the mission to 3 hours
• Both stages splashed down in the ocean and were not recovered
