      @rbell7666 So, maybe they could...? I'm a Florida girl and not overly familiar with California geography and topography. But, I'm guessing it would depend on weather and landscape conditions, in addition to sheer distance - The boosters land on the drone ship located off of Baja. Don't know if that helps or not.

    Cambios
    Una de las características de SpaceX es su constante evolución. Hasta el momento no se ha detenido sino que continúa evolucionando no importando las grandes inversiones en prototipos que han funcionado a la perfección. Mientras evoluciona y aumenta sus tamaños y diámetros; los anteriores se van quedando obsoletos.
    Pero si les dijera que estos prototipos tienen una segunda oportunidad para seguir siendo útiles y hasta mejorados!!! Que les parece un pequeño adapté aquí y otro allá? Los sistemas V1 tienen 9 metros de ancho, los V2 tendrán 12 o 15, no se. Y posiblemente los V3 tendrán más diámetro.
    Y si les dijera que un booster de V2 puede utilizarse con una Starship de V1 aparte de su Starship V2 para lo que será construido. Y así el V3 podrá lanzar Starships V1 y V2 aparte del V3 para lo que será necesario. Y como esto es posible? Simple: conexiones cónicas, en su parte inferior el diámetro o ancho del V2 y V3 y en su parte superior los diámetros de V1 y V2 dependiendo de la necesidad. Inclusive podrían tener un adapte para las Falcón Heavy. Será posible que todos esos prototipos que han funcionado puedan darnos mayor utilidad?
    O es que no se acuerdan del diseño de las naves de las misiones Apollo? Dónde están esas mentes brillantes?
