SPACEX: “A huge thing” - Elon Musk achieves space revolution! Starship rocket returned

In this interview, former astronaut and professor of aerospace engineering, Ulrich Walter, talks about SpaceX's recent successes and the revolutionary developments in space technology. He explains the technical challenges faced by Elon Musk and his team, particularly with regard to the reusability of the rocket stages. Walter sheds light on how the “Mechazilla” technology works, in which the rocket's propulsion stage is captured by giant arms after landing. He praises the concept as forward-looking, but also points out the high risks involved. He also discusses the pressure Musk is under, particularly from NASA and the US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), which is delaying launches due to safety investigations.
