Yeah, but even without fuel the booster weighs 200 tons. It's pretty wild to have 200 tons of steel incoming at supersonic speed, then nailing a gentle pinpoint landing like that !

Yeah if the engines didn’t light and it hit the launch facility that whole place would be a crater. The whole thing was shocking to me but how fast it was coming down was extra shocking haha. I wonder what deceleration forces were at play because when the engines lit the booster slowed down very fast.
