Hit the target, dead of night, likely recovery for intel, unbelievable. And Mechazilla's yuge bigly booster grab.

Someday, we’ll see Starship landing back at the tower.

Yeah! And they got the booster catch on the first try. That imaginary Chinese guy nailed it! :^)

A lot can be learned from the video (hint, hint).

I have come to despise this government, because they are doing the same thing at the Federal level.
It is the same level of asinine politics we see with FEMA.
This is how the Deep State works. I don’t use “scare quotes” with “Deep State” anymore, because it exists, and is our enemy. It is the enemy of competency, and it is the enemy of success, since it will sacrifice those things without reservation, without question, on the altar of DIE.

The Starship survived. I’m not too sure that all that fire at the end was particularly serious, probably the craft did a flip and went in nose-first, making recovery at least feasible.

I didn’t think it flipped, I think that was 100% as they intended, feet first into the water, landing legs extended.
Did I miss something?
