SpaceX Q3 earnings: Flight 15 to attempt tower catch of both booster and ship

On its Q3 earnings webcast SpaceX showed an ~80-second animation of a Starship ship catch. Elon Musk said Flight 15, expected in November, will try to catch both the Super Heavy booster and the ship with the launch tower, putting first-attempt odds at 'more likely than not'. Ship 42 is assigned to the flight; Gwynne Shotwell said SpaceX expects the FAA license to cover return-to-launch-site and tower catches for both stages. Boosters have been caught three times (Flights 5, 7, 8); a ship has never been caught.
