It's amazing to watch them catch a booster that effortlessly.

it's massive too! Hard to get a sense of scale on a screen
Starship though looks like it's lost
-
T+8:05 it loses engines
-
T+9:27 they're all dead.

Well the catch was cool. Guess they didn't get all the issues whey we looking at this week with the delays.
Launch, hot stage, flip and burn, and catch all becoming reliable aspects of the system. Hopefully they got some good data from the mishap.
On a plus, the re-entry pictures will look cool again.

Really incredible stuff
It would be even more incredible if they caught the capsule with chopsticks mounted on a boat

@canefan indeed it would. Weirdly enough though I was more impressed by this resue mission than the chopstick stuff. I know it wasn't as technically marvelous but something about the human element of rescuing stranded astronauts.
Can't even imagine a work assignment that was supposed to be like 2 weeks ended up going for 9 months straight!

Imagine the overtime payments collected if they were wages employees.

I once had a work-trip, to India, supposed to be 1 week - turned into 9 weeks. But - split over 3 trips of 3 weeks each. And in a (so-called) 5 star hotel.
I can't imagine being stuck with workmates in a much more enclosed space, for 9 months, without murder becoming a factor.
