    Really. Catch it, just before it hits the ground.

    SpaceX will try to catch the booster on its final approach using a giant arm attached to the launch tower. As Super Heavy comes into land, it will thread the needle between these catching arms until they retract inwards and lock into place.

      I bet working at SpaceX is fun. They probably have 3rd graders next to college students all sketching cool ideas on napkins and then Elon just picks one at random and funds $50 billion for it.
