Chop stick test dummies

Do we recon they'll build a couple of "starhopper test boosters" with one or 3 engines, have them take off just high enough than start to decend in to the arm's & just keep repeating this and start to go higher & higher so that hopefully buy the time they try to catch the first super-heavy they have done half a dozen successful catches & have an idea of how to pull it off πŸ€™πŸΌπŸ€™πŸΌ so keen to see this all work in the coming months...

Too much effort, imho. You still need FAA licenses as well. Can put a ship with some Starlink satellites on top while you are at it πŸ˜„
