This site says "Booster 19 is expected to attempt a chopstick catch at the Starbase launch tower after stage separation, as has become standard procedure for Super Heavy."
I actually agree with you that NASA has been unproductive and wasteful for a while now. Not always, but certainly when it came to ambitious and inspiring projects. However, I see this as a course correction that puts NASA back on track. Certainly it's a much better plan than they had before. But maybe I'm just being hopeful, or even naive? Time will tell.
I have a feeling this is more about the launch than the meeting, which is fine. Personally I think that having relations with the Russians is a waste of time.
That's tough. I hope they can figure this out.
Relax bro, it's a meme
Seems pretty optimistic overall
Flight's not finished until Scott Manley drops a video about it! :)
Such a good-looking vehicle imo. I hope it works well!
I have a feeling it's only a matter of time before someone escalates, but I really hope that isn't the case.

I'm not sure this has been confirmed by SpaceX yet. Someone let me know, I really hope they go for it!
Edit: SpaceX says the booster will land in the Gulf of Mexico this flight
Ship 39 engines
Bro that'd be the coolest, craziest thing

I wish them luck, seems like they're going to need it!
Already been posted yesterday, sorry
That's pretty cool!
As this has been widely speculated already, this is not a surprise. Super great to see this move forward at pace!
"Sanity prevails" Thank goodness
This was such a refreshing article to read. The NRHO requirement was so stupid. I'm so glad Jared is helping to move the program forward.
The openness with which this was presented has been so refreshing.
