SpaceX founder Elon Musk has released a new video that shows the 140-meter Launch and catch tower with robotic arms called Mehazilla from all sides. She holds the prototype Starship 20 spacecraft, which is taken off the Super Heavy Booster 4 launch vehicle.

Recall that SpaceX has built the largest rocket in history. It will be able to deliver cargo weighing up to 150 tons to low Earth orbit with the return of both stages to Earth, as well as the possibility of docking and refueling in orbit.

SpaceX is currently testing the Mechazilla by placing the Starship on a Super Heavy launch vehicle and separating them. SpaceX is awaiting approval for its first orbital launch. The US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) must issue a permit by February 28.

SpaceX will try to catch the largest spacecraft in history with robotic chopsticks. I can't guarantee success, but it will definitely be fun.
