    SpaceX Starship New Landing Method Somehow SHOCKED the whole NASA...
    First of all, they can come closer to the real catch attempt on flight 5. Secondly, they can test the ability to land Super Heavy offshore.
    Honestly, several years ago, SpaceX unveiled its intention to land the Super Heavy Booster on a droneship.
    Although there are many opposing debates, can't help but mention its great advantages for SpaceX's long-term goals, clearly shown in Starship's Flight 3 in mid-March.
    There is likely nothing better than getting the extra performance and increased payload without jettisoning anything like a hot staging ring just by landing downrange.
    The location for offshore landing could be a platform in the Gulf of Mexico somewhere, assuming that SpaceX built a Mechazilla tower on said platform. And likely on a larger drone ship than is currently used for the Falcon 9 first stage.
    SpaceX Starship New Landing Method Somehow SHOCKED the whole NASA...
    A conventional launch mission will leave the stage with close to as little fuel as possible by the time it detaches in order to be efficient. But it does not make sense to waste a significant amount of fuel, up to 10% to make that return to Boca Chica. That number matters while 80% of the fuel is consumed in the first place and the booster just has 20% remaining for in-flight activities.
    However, keep in mind that this is only a reference to the test flight and the reality is much tougher.
    Musk partly emphasized it as follows:
    "any emissions that are going to particularly to geostationary orbit um or to escape velocity uh anything beyond earth uh would it is likely to need to land on the ship"
    SpaceX Starship New Landing Method Somehow SHOCKED the whole NASA...
    Launches to GEO or Earth escape require too much fuel for the rocket to reverse its horizontal velocity and return to the launch site. It would result in additional wear and tear on the booster.
    An advantage of ASDS is the vessel can be positioned near the spaceport. So, it’s far cheaper to bring the rocket back on a ship than to fly it back with fuel! So, they can load only as much fuel as they will need to deliver the payload and then mostly fall and glide for a powered landing on the barge.

      I'm not sure they can build a tube that could hold up to the heat and power of the engines. Plus the extreme sound and heat waves would be extremely destructive when contained within a tube and only able to escape by passing back up the tube and over the rocket. That blast would rip apart the rocket before it got out of the tube.

    It currently takes 2 days to truck in enough cryogenics for a starship full wet dress rehearsal and one launch-on-the-first-try (per tower.) Or I should say it has taken 2 days to truck it in. If they have added transfer stations to the tank farm, that reduces the required time.
    Even if booster only takes 8 minutes to return to launch site, starship will take many hours. For a single one of either type, at best they will launch 2x a day, because the depot/target orbital plane crosses the launch site 2x a day.
    If they don't beef up the tank farm capacity, it's more than half a week between launches. If they do beef up tank farm capacity, or arrange industrial pipeline to site, they can launch as frequently as they have booster+ship ready at orbital plane crossing (temporarily Ignoring the time for launch license approval.) If they don't need 2 days to truck in propellant, and they use 2 nearly-simultaneous towers each in Florida and Texas, they can get 4 loads up per 12h, or whatever the tank farm refill time is, whichever is greater. Texas could launch about 66 minutes after Florida, every 12h.
    By the time they get a launch pad that doesn't need to be repaired after every launch, they will be able to launch back-to-back in less than a week. 12 days is highly pessimistic.

      The oil rig should have a cutout in plan (to resemble a ‘U’ shape. Have a barge enter at sea level and dock with the sea-bed tethered oil rig. Land the booster (either with legs or using a shortened tower), so that the bottom of the booster approaches sea-level (not 40 m or so up in the air). It would be way more stable.

    Launch tower is ~17x17x145m, probably weighs ~2650mT with just the structure, piping, decking, stairs, etc. Concrete in the legs ~203mT. Disregarding stability, you'd need a 20m empty cube to float just the tower+concrete, say another 245mT. If you scale up a F9 drone ship, you get 90x158x10m, say 4400mT. Stretched booster+ship+cargo+prop ~6500mT. Total 14000mT, with ~20% of that being just a tall tower sticking up almost as far as the drone is long. Probably will need some huge seawater ballast tanks for stability, and some massive station-keeping engines..

      Most likely they're going to need a sunken holding point to lower the center of gravity and stabilize the rocket ships.
      Alternatively a permanent offshore platform would be more stable.

    How about seabed-tethered, refurbished oil platform with short catch tower, and a cutout (to make it resemble a U-shape in plan). Bring in barges from on shore (near sea level). So the booster would, in effect, land at near sea level (rather than at the oil platform platform level. This would stabilize the platform, and allow for easier egress of the booster after landing.

      I think the ultimate way to do this is to have launch and landing/refurbishment sites spread around the world. Launch from site one, land -refurbish-launch from site two. Launch from site two, land-refurbish-launch from site 3. Keep going until you get back to site one. What you transport on the surface is only the payload, which is much smaller and cheaper than the entire rocket. And, since many of the sites are close to water, transport of the payloads can be by ship.
      Costs of a launch would now depend on launch location in addition to other factors...

    Once operational, SpaceX plans to launch Starship three times a day, not twice a month! But, even it if took 180 days to fill an orbital fuel depot as the video suggests, SLS cannot launch faster than once a year (or likely, far less often). So, even in the worst-case scenario, refueling Starship to go the Moon is not an issue.

    I haven’t seen or heard anything in the past year or so that Musk or Spacex are thinking of redesigning the two stages with legs so to land on a drone ship in the gulf. Your just creating click bait. Not cool!

    Tower not a good idea on a barge, light swell would have it swaying feet at the top. would need to be on a ball pivot and counter balanced below.
    I'd suggest using a three jaw chuck, to grab the ship at the bottom, and maybe have the jaws on pivots and kept vertical and let the platform roll.
    And Chica is pronounced Cheek-ah
    It means a small girl or in this case small mouth bay, as boca is mouth.

    Dreaming: I recommend large fueling ships away from take off or landing platforms at sea. Is it possible to make liquid oxygen and methane at sea? The tower could have sea water cooled metal plates on the chopstick landing side. The landing chopsticks could be over the ocean and then rotate 180 degrees to be over a test stand for the next flight. A long crane on a large ship is needed to retrieve ocean landings, to move other boosters to the test stand, and to restack complete starships on the launch stand. Can complete starships be stored vertically underwater for hurricane protection? Can the complete landing area go underwater during hurricanes? Consider having islands nearby for the military, support personnel, airport, and tourists. .

      " Is it possible to make liquid oxygen and methane at sea?" - with a large nuclear reactor yes. The energy input is the problem.

      Put the legs on the ship. All the booster weight is in the engine compartment. The arms would slide down and in clamping the tail of the booster as the booster destines blowing the clamps shut.

    Stupid idea. What they need is a place to build a major base with a harbour and place for housing and some nuclear facilities to gain the energy for the fuel creation. UK has some funny overseas territories - one of them is an 88 square km island with just a military base etc. - Ascension. They do not need a oil rig - they need a place where they can dock container ships, where they can have 20, 40, 60 towers for humanities' first real spaceport. Even florida is a joke if they want a high cadence - they really ned a place to build Space City. Large harbour, so you can use drone ships when needed, can get hugh cargo container ships to handle payload, parts, etc. Something where damage to the environment is limited and accepted - a small price for humanity to go into space, and only an island.
    The deep ocean concept is a dead end - you cannot put enough on it, you have no harbour, and the price for each is insane. A temporary solution - that is it. Nothing you can start pulling up a start every hour and that is needed.
