ELON MUSK REVEALS WHEN SPACEX WILL PERFORM FIRST-EVER STARSHIP CATCH
Summary from the TLDR newsletter
Elon Musk says that SpaceX will attempt to catch Starship on Flight 13, 14, or 15, depending on how well the V3 flights go. The V3 rocket is more powerful than V2 in terms of initial thrust and booster thrust, and it has a higher payload-to-orbit rating. V4 will likely be the first version to carry humans to space. Musk has previously said that SpaceX hopes to attempt a catch of Starship this year, but the company will need to launch two more flights before the end of the year to get to his expected first catch attempt of Flight 13.
