I'd put Starship Soft Landing first. That's easy and safe-ish to try in a remote location. Vs. any little oopies on a Booster Catch could damage a load of high-value infrastructure.

So that just happened. Been even better if the camera wasn't mostly melted, but looked like a slow enough landing.

(I figured "Landing" implied "dry land". Or at least a dry barge deck. Beyond the obviously-greater precision needed - a soft & dry landing is paradise for post-flight engineering analysis.)

they're focusing on booster reuse and ship tile slash entry reliability. Ship reuse will come after.

reason they're going hard on booster reuse is those 33 engines, they cost lotsa money to be dumping them over and over.
