Elon Musk announced on the X platform that the starship landed accurately on the target, achieving the second of the two goals. Bill Nelson, the administrator of NASA, said: "Congratulations to SpaceX for successfully capturing the booster today and completing the fifth starship flight test! As we prepare to return to the moon under Artemis, continued testing will prepare us for our future bold missions - including going to the lunar south pole and then to Mars." Elon Musk replied: "Thank you, sir! Looking forward to serving NASA and returning humans to the moon." #pepe
