Original Note:
Depending on how you count it took 4(major) to 12(all) Starship flights for SpaceX to reach this point - https://starship-spacex.fandom.com/wiki/Test_Launches SpaceX spending in R&D seems to be around 5 billion USD up until 07.Aug.2024. - https://payloadspace.com/rocket-development-costs-by-vehicle-payload-research/ SpaceX did not "finally" catch the rocket, in-fact they did it on their first try. - https://www.npr.org/2024/10/13/nx-s1-5151788/spacex-starship-booster-caught-first-launch
