I don't love the cheering like they are surprised that they did their job correctly.

ETA: "Many people are asking why SpaceX is catching the booster stage like this. Why not land on landing legs like their Falcon 9rocket?
The Starship booster stage has no landing legs. This saves weight and results in faster turnaround time to launch again."

Beyond cool. While not easy, it all comes down to physics… and lots of money.

Someone on X commented, "Yeah, when's the last time anyone on the staff of The New Republic parallel-parked a 250 ton rocket booster?"

It was quite a week for Elon - catching the rocket, announced he'll be selling robots in 2026, self-driving taxis, robovans, starlink-India, and who knows what else that I missed. All distractions from things from issues that might affect stock price - but amazing, nonetheless.
