  1. Seeing this everywhere and I have to ask, what’s the reason they are catching the upper stage? Why not just let it touch down in the same place?

  2. SpaceX needs to be removed from Elon’s ownership yesterday. He will weaponize these. Look at what this guy is saying in the open almost every day. He is a massive threat to public safety.

    Not slighting Tesla or their employees here to be clear.

  3. Is there any benefit from having the chopstick setup instead of just having a big net with more room for error?
