Musk climbed to the top of the tower and took a close look at the recovered SpaceX Starship S42

📅 2026-11-15

Abstract:

After SpaceX successfully recovered Starship S42, Musk posted: "I embraced the return of Spaceship 42." Accompanied by his team, Musk climbed to the top of the launch/capture tower and took a close look at the S42 "little" baby that flew home. Starship photography account IGW captured a photo of him on the tower from a distance. Judging from his unique walking posture, Musk is on the top left of the tower. Note that Lao Ma is 1.88 meters tall and S42 is about 52 meters tall.

Avid Space captured footage of Lao Ma looking up at the S42 under the capture arm. (First from left)

Musk also excitedly shared S42 videos shot at different angles with his mobile phone.

As you can see, there are more than a dozen people climbing to the summit with Lao Ma:

In addition, multiple starship photography accounts have shared a large number of beautiful pictures. Here are some selected ones to share.
