SpaceX caught the Starship to end Flight 15, Hacker News reported . Le Monde reported the same catch as a first, saying SpaceX had caught the upper stage of its Starship megarocket .
Flight 15 had set out to catch both the booster and the ship, according to an earlier Hacker News report on the flight's plan . The catch of the upper stage is the part of that plan that today's reports confirm .
The two reports agree on the outcome: the Starship upper stage was caught, ending Flight 15, in what Le Monde described as a first for the megarocket .
What is known is that the upper stage was caught and the flight ended with that recovery . What is not yet known from today's reports is whether the booster was also caught as planned, as neither report states the booster's fate .
