  1. Question: If Starship still needs a LOT of work in your opinion, isn't it crazy for SpaceX to attempt to catch the booster on their one and only launch tower (for now) with the distinct posibility of a mishap that could damage that tower, the tank farm nearby, and, depending on the severity of the mishap, hit buildings and people nearby? Wouldn't you agree that Elon's insistence on this is INCREDIBLY BAD JUDEGEMENT?

  2.  @TheSpaceRaceYT  The silver lining to a booster catch mishap will - I hope - be locking Elon out of making substantive decisions on Starship development. Elon rushed Starship Flight 1 when the OLM was not ready with bad results. My thought is that Elon is rushing the catch attempt because the 8/8 robotaxi announcement is going to be HIGHLY underwhelming. Succeed or fail, a booster catch attempt will "boost" confidence that Elon is a genius - even if it turns out that robotaxis ARE NOT going to help the Tesla bottom line any time soon.
