That is darn cool! And it makes the booster lighter, as it doesn’t need the giant legs to land on.
And makes turnaround much faster since it’s already back on the launch pad.
Though it does make it so a damaged launch pad from either an abnormal launch or landing can stop all launch progress until things are rebuilt. We’ve seen the very reliable Falcon 9 damage the drone ships with a hard landing.
Would be interesting to see more than the two launch towers created to create more redundancy.
Cool beans.
woah. is this real? never seen anything like it. aren’t those rockets like 200 feet tall too? wow, might just be stoned but this is really blowing my mind.
The booster is ~70 meters tall or ~230 feet.
so strange to see something that big move like this
