  1. Having a strange feeling SpaceX will ditch the rocket catching at some point and go all in for landing legs. Unless, of course, they engineer the tower's catching mechanism enough to get it to a very high level of reliability. They might have to compromise on max TTO. If both booster and ship had landing legs they could have been landed and recovered in the last 3 flights. I'm very impressed with the Raptors, they perform so reliably now.

  2. Starscrap is dead in the water. Not a popular view atm, and apparently contradicts what we are seeing. EXCEPT that starscrap has now launched 6 times, and a seventh launch is STILL going to take nothing to LEO. My bet is they will lie about 'in flight refuelling' – there is not going to be another ship launched with 7, so they CAN'T refuel. Musk has recently said the thing may take 40-50 tonnes to LEO – Saturn V and falcon heavy can both do better than that. Starscrap's BIG flaw though, is the size of the thing. It takes 1200 tones of fuel. That's 24 flights for ONE refuel plus whatever additional is needed for bleed-off and leakage. A big, tall rocket WON'T LAND ON THE MOON. Go Falcon Heavy – get rid of Musk and his silly BFR.
