I am a longtime admirer of SpaceX and its many accomplishments. While I do not go out of my way to watch every Falcon 9 launch, I do go out of my way to watch Starship launches, and like many millions of people the world over I was amazed and excited when the giant “Mechazilla” chopsticks at SpaceX’s Boca Chica space center managed to grasp and secure Starship’s massive heavy booster, which had maneuvered its way to the landing/catching area with unprecedented precision. Those who follow these sorts of things have seen countless successful Falcon 9 boosters land on pillars of fire after maneuvering back to the launch site to land.
