To attempt the catch on both vehicles. The ship would have to go into orbit long enough to catch, safe, dismount, and transport Booster 19 away from the launch site before deorbiting and bringing back to launch site for a tower catch too.
What part of making absolutely sure they can deorbit a starship before attempting to do so is un clear?
You're the type of person who'd be the first to chastize SpaceX (or elon rather) if it failed for not taking an abundance of caution before doing such a drastic mission.
@RealColinHudson@pipisonx@elonmusk@SciGuySpace Not true. Spacex has filed for around 120 launches from the cape per year, and thats just two pads to start. 76 per year from SLC37 and 44 per year from 39A.
@GoodmanAric@areyous76505851@chrisgpt That means employing multiple humans for partial shifts just to keep up with a robot. How are you not seeing thats even less efficient than hot swapping in a bot?
