    We're still likely to see some booms. This booster is going to splash down in the ocean(and probably go boom), the next one is supposed to land at the tower and with no landing gear at all, if they miss it will go boom. I wonder if they're going to do any short hops to test the catch mechanism. I'm also curious what will happen to the launch mount and tower if the rocket goes boom on takeoff/landing. They need to move faster, the anticipation is killing me...

    I can just see them using one of those old drive up staircases on top of the tower to board the crew.

    good.

    It might not need to be as tall. It's looking like they're going to use the catching mechanism to lift as well. They'll probably add lift points to SN21 like the booster has, probably under the top flaps. I am VERY curious what the carriage/catch mechanism is going to look like.

    Here's a nice shot. 9:28
