Rocket Lab hopes to catch its rocket booster mid-air with the help of a helicopter (Credit: Rocket Lab)

Two years ago, aerospace manufacturer SpaceX stunned the world by landing its reusable booster engine — the biggest and most costly part of the rocket used to power spacecrafts into low orbit — on an autonomous drone ship in the Atlantic Ocean. Now, California-based startup Rocket Lab, has come up with an even bolder idea: using parachutes and helicopters to capture the returning booster, or first stage as it is often called, in midair!

          That seems impossible, but it might turn out like the SpaceX plan to land the booster back on earth, and not broken. Best of luck to them!

                  So I'm guessing the cargo goes to the space station up in space? The the engine comes back down... Wow that's a lot but it's cool information to learn. If I got something wrong I'm sorry -
