SpaceX's Starship spacecraft was first captured and recovered by the launch tower's robotic arm, Musk will build an AI data center constellation.

SpaceX first caught the second stage spacecraft returning from orbit using the launch tower's robotic arm during the 15th test flight of the Starship, marking the first time a Starship spacecraft completed a launch tower capture. SpaceX plans to use this spacecraft to build an AI data center constellation in LEO orbit containing millions of spacecraft, employing a dual chopsticks-style capture method to achieve high-frequency assembly.
