   Acceleration relative to the tower should be very close to 0 at the   
   time of capture, so what G-force are you imagining besides the   
   no-longer-full weight of the Super Heavy?   
      
   [That's a pun, son, since the tanks should be very close to empty at   
   the time of capture]   
      
   That said, Elon has apparently allowed as how some additional hard   
   points might be needed.

   future guitar god of the human genome: an allele with undiscovered   
   virtuosity, currently soloing in obscurity in Mom's garage.
