(Starbase, Texas) In a moment that will go down in the annals of space history, Starship’s Launch 5 booster was caught by Mechazilla’s arms, not just marking a technical milestone but also capturing the hearts and imaginations of those present. Here’s a genuine recount of the reactions I gathered from the people who watched this spectacle unfold.

@AnthonyFGomez – “It’s the culmination of all our dreams, it’s all we’ve been hoping for since 2019 when we opened this place.” (Anthony runs Rocket Ranch)

@JessicaTetreau – “I invited a lot of friends, I ‘m so excited, happy, elated, it tells the world that anything you put your mind to is possible!”
These reactions, and many others, captured shortly after the event on video, provide a raw and authentic snapshot of the awe and wonder experienced by those fortunate enough to witness this pioneering achievement live. Each voice, unique in its expression, echoed the same sentiment of disbelief, pride, and the thrill of witnessing history.
