"I think it is vertical integration for a few reasons. First quality control is a critical factor with COPVs from production to transport handling installation and operation.

"What will Starship's return to the launch site & catch look like Well a few months ago after Flight [--] @TesLatino & I discussed this with animations by @mcrs987 Today with the FAA releasing the completed environmental review that describes the planned return flight path I thought it would be a good idea to re-post the video clip This illustrates what this might look like from various vantage points in & around South Padre Island & Starbase. For sure when @SpaceX decides to implement this return to launch site & catch of Starship it will be visually shocking thrilling & very memorable Check it"

"@ThreeDeDaniel @TesLatino @mcrs987 Flight [--] has to go off extremely well and @SpaceX needs to had confidence in the V3 ship booster and the new Stage Zero to go for a catch on Flight [--]. I'm kind of thinking it might push to Flight [--] but they could surprise me"
