Now all they need is a horizontal beam with a radar-reflecting hook to snag snare wires on the super heavy booster when it comes down for a landing. Doesn't need any complicated machinery, except maybe a winch/cable/hook to absorb any shocks. A second mobile crane, like the ones they are using for construction, can roll up and lift the rocket off the landing hook, maneuver around, and lower it back onto the launch pad. I think a mobile crane will give them more freedom of movement than a big fixed structure, which should really only have one job - to catch the rocket on landing.

Really wish they had prioritized the orbital launch table and fuel farm, since they aren't even going to try to land the super heavy booster on the tower initially. What they really need is the fuel farm and launch pad completed first.

Starship is dangerous too (see how SN9 landed). Good for cargo transport perhaps. Any people on board who want to survive the landing should strap on a parachute, open a hatch, and bail out at 10,000 feet. Wouldn't help much on the Moon or Mars though.

Sure is interesting watching them build all that stuff.
