SpaceX will launch Starship and will attempt to catch the Super Heavy Booster with the Mechazilla arms!

Nice - it is however difficult to see how much of that was intentional and how much of that was luck due to so much late manovuering that it had to do that was more aggresive that what i was expecting.
 
With this SpaceX is instantly worth an insane amount of money and has pretty much cornered the space launch business.

They will just erect a long array of launch/catch towers as SciFi dreams of building in orbit like this are now possible

With this success SpaceX doesn't need FAA approvals anymore as it will now fall under NASA/DoD projects.

Elon Mush should get on the phone and demand the government start building a long array of launchers/catchers right now at Edwards and Cape Canaveral.

It will only get smoother and smoother. Just like the Falcon 9 touches down with complete ease now after multiple failures.

Elon Musk definitely will be the first world trillionaire with this landing as multiple countries will be wanting to launch massive projects.

It actually looked pretty effortless to me. And for SpaceX to achieve that on the first attempt is insane.
 
What time will they bring down Starship down for a landing ? How far away are we from that?
