Booster reflight is so hype. Working through stage separation will be huge for the program. Pulling off a good soft splashdown would be phenomenal.

Booster reflight is hype, though I wouldn't have expected that it would occur before an orbital Starship.

Have SpaceX stated whether they are planning a booster catch or a splashdown for Flight 9?

Agreed, I was surprised they were going for a booster reuse at this point. I guess it makes sense that they're better at the booster than the shop given Falcon heritage.

Ship catch, tower readiness aside, seems like a hell of a time to permit.
