Can anyone explain why it was necessary to catch it chopsticks-style instead of landing it on the ground like they had been doing with the smaller boosters?
Weight. It always comes down to weight. Landing legs will add a lot of extra weight.
I am amazed at the achievement, and even more amazed at how much people can cheer at anything like madmen.
Self landing rockets is a great thing to cheer about!
But also people cheered for a guy eating cheese balls so you may have a point.
