It’s not clear why SpaceX sought to recover the ruins of Starship’s latest test flight. The company showed no previous intent of wanting to fish the Starship Super Heavy Booster from the sea following its fourth test flight, and yet here we are more than three months later. The operation to retrieve the booster was initially kept a secret, but SpaceX’s plans were discovered by a group of documentary filmmakers who specialize in shooting rocket launches, according to Universe Magazine; SpaceX reportedly used HOS Ridgewind, a vessel owned by Hornbeck Offshore, to fish out its Starship booster.
SpaceX may be looking to gather more data from the booster used during test flight four, or Musk may have suddenly grown paranoid over the rocket hardware lying at the bottom of the sea unattended.

Did You say space starfish?
The old girl is aging. I find this pretty sad, actually.
Is it a public domain movie?
Well, all I know is that it’s on YouTube anyway.
