“Looks like Starship might fly on Sunday! This the largest & most powerful flying object ever made at more than double the thrust of the Saturn V Moon rocket. We will try to catch it upon return to launch site using the Mechazilla arms like giant chopsticks (like Karate Kid)!”
“The largest flying object ever made will be caught in mid air with giant Mechazilla arms”
“@Kristennetten @SpaceX I think we should try to catch the booster with the mechazilla arms next flight!”
“Mechazilla loads Starship on launchpad https://t.co/LfkfjpAcZj”
“@KSpaceAcademy @NASASpaceflight Soon, Mechazilla will have arms!”
“@ErcXspace And ship will be caught by Mechazilla too. As with booster, no landing legs. Those are only needed for moon & Mars until there is local infrastructure.”
“@techvamp Once Mechazilla is operational, winds will rarely be an issue”
“Mechazilla will do this for future rockets, but it’s not quite ready yet”
“Snatched from the sky by Mechazilla”
“The Starship launch tower that catches the giant rocket booster is basically Mechazilla”
