The very moment SpaceX CEO Elon Musk gave the instruction to bring Starship back home after it had softly splashed down and was floating in the ocean, “We should get it back,” Elon said.
The recovery team had no plan whatsoever for how they were going to recover the ship.
They formulated the plan while already heading toward Starship, and they succeeded.
That’s the maniacal sense of urgency right there.
Elon: “What's the closest ship, plane or whatever?”
SpaceX engineer: “We have a ship fairly close and big enough”
Elon: “We should get it back”
SpaceX engineer: “We will try”
