Elon's SpaceX is pulling its sunk Starship Super Heavy booster from the Gulf of Mexico off the coast of Boca Chica Beach, Texas
A group of filmmakers has confirmed SpaceX is running a secret Starship booster recovery operation in the Gulf of Mexico off Boca Chica Beach . For the past week, the HOS Ridgewind , a 260-foot-long offshore service vessel, has been lingering around the apparent touchdown spot of the Super Heavy booster that carried a Starship to space June 6. It was the first Super Heavy to survive the journey in one piece and returned to splash down into the Gulf.
Elon Musk’s SpaceX and regulators are at odds over Starship’s next launch He said he couldn’t resist the chance to solve the mystery. After a two-and-a-half-hour cruise they were about a half mile from the Ridgewind when a drone buzzed toward them. It hovered for a moment before a voice announced through a loudspeaker: “There is a one mile exclusion zone in this area, please depart one mile away from vessel.
