Went from looking like a grain silo to going orbital and being as tall as a skyscraper. Never bet against Elon Musk.
Believe it or not this is Starship in 2020. This month, SpaceX catches the booster and ship. Wild.

If they catch both the ship and booster, it will be the first full recovery of an orbital rocket in history
As the prophecy foretold, Starship 42 will be the first tower catch
