SpaceX Will Catch Super Heavy Booster With Launch Tower Arm
This will save the cost of legs and enable the booster to be ready for re-launch in under one hour.
The landing legs on the Falcon 9 weigh about 2000 kilograms. The Falcon Heavy landing legs are about 3000-4000 kilograms and Super Heavy Booster would need landing legs that weigh about 6000-8000 kilograms.
The Super Heavy Booster will be able to hover. This will make it easier for a precise docking style landing.
