This is Starship not Falcon....heavy 33 engine booster caught on the launch tower. Starship currently in orbit.

Incredible!
Thanks for posting the link.
This should be front page news and the talk of the nation, but I won’t be surprised if the networks ignore it...because Elon.

Starship development (wikiwacky) about $5 billion. Let that sink in. Today marked its fifth flight test, its first one was *last year*.
The booster has more than twice the thrust of the Saturn V -- and SpaceX just did its first test flight catch test. There was one apparent anomaly, something was flaring near the end of the landing, but this is astounding!
