Musk indicates Starship upper-stage tower catch won't happen until later this year

SpaceX founder Elon Musk said on Aug. 20 that the first catch of the Starship upper stage using the launch tower will likely occur in a few months, not on the next test flight as previously suggested. The company has already successfully caught the Super Heavy booster on three flights. The upper-stage catch is a key step toward rapid reusability.
