    What is the advantage if catching the rocket instead of letting it land? Less weight?

      Yeah, less weight without landing legs, plus faster turn around since it’s already were it needs to go.

        I’m also guessing less wear of the launch/landing pad?

          Presumably, though you’d get more moving parts on the catch to wear.
