It was earlier revealed by the SpaceX CEO how the Super Heavy Booster rocket would depart and land on the planet as it falls back to the surface after doing its job of providing a push to the Starship bound for Mars. Musk said that it would have a tower with arms to catch it, and that very Launch and Catch tower has now appeared in a Federal Aviation Association (FAA) filing for its construction.
