All these names describe the same idea of using arms to safely land the rocket without legs. First chopsticks landing SpaceX, a company that makes rockets, did the first chopsticks landing with their Starship rocket. This happened on October 13, 2024.[2] It was a big step for space travel because it showed a new way to land very big rockets. Why it matters Chopsticks landings are important for a few reasons: - They can catch bigger rockets than before. - They make it easier to use rockets again. - They might make space travel cheaper.

# What is the advantage of the "Mechazilla arms" over fitting the Super Heavy booster with landing struts? Tags: spacex-super-heavy, vertical-landing - Score: 5 - Views: 1700 - Answers: 1 - Answered: yes - Asked by: Frank van Wensveen (151 rep) - Asked: 2024-06-08 - Edited: 2024-06-09 - Site: space ## Question SpaceX lands the Falcon 9 booster stages on its built-in landing struts, this works well. However, the plan to land the Super Heavy booster stage is to capture it in a set of mechanical arms dubbed "Mechazilla". This seems (to me) a more complicated procedure requiring more advanced hardware. The risk of extensive damage to ground-based structures in case of a failed landing also seems significantly higher. So presumably there is a good reason why the Super Heavy booster would need to be captured upon landing rather than land on built-in struts. What is that reason? ## Answers ### Answer by Jörg W Mittag (score: 9) This seems (to me) a more complicated procedure requiring more advanced hardware. Not necessarily. Instead of thinking about "catching the booster with the arms", think about "the booster landing on the arms". Imagine you take a Falcon 9 booster, but instea
