That truck is clearly black, despite the label.
That is a cool picture.
"Nice Catch"
That monster 1st Stage Tube is longer than a football field at 400 feet.
Coming back in after burning off all the fuel it was carrying, it probably weighs 1/10th of what it weighed at liftoff.
Like flying an empty milk jug, no way that would be coming back in with a full load.
Flooding the launch pad with water to keep it cool.
The big payday on recapturing that big 1st Stage is saving the multiple rocket engines and turbo pumps.
The Super Heavy booster (first stage) is equipped with 33 Raptor engines.
All saved to use again.
