Nope. Not the Super Heavy booster. SpaceX used what it called a Hopper to test landing of a larger vehicle. It took a couple tries, but the company made it work. That success led to the booster and the Starship plans to land at Starbase. This company likes to move fast and it has worked in the past. There is still a lot to do to put astronauts back on the Moon.
Totally enjoyed this update. Wish it was someone other than EM! Nevertheless, this is great stuff. I thought they had the booster rocket landing handled? Didn't you do a piece that featured that? Great stuff!

Amazing. As much as I dislike Elon Musk, I am still cheering for the success of this project and the ultimate "prize" it represents.
