Go up SpaceX's Starship-catching robotic launch tower with Elon Musk!

Today we’re going up SpaceX's Orbital Launch Tower with the ultimate tour guide, Elon Musk. He’s going to walk us around the bottom, explain how they plan to catch the booster with the chopsticks and then we'll go up the elevator stopping at the quick disconnect and on the upper deck!
