It does seem like they could do with a more isolated launch site (with the tank farm in a huge concrete bunker) before trying to catch Super Heavy


They'd have to build the whole launch complex again which makes me doubt they'd do it.


You could however mock one up, either with just a big concrete pad or with a pad and tower, and the booster "return to launch site" and prove it can hover in a specific location long enough for the chopsticks to close to get a very low risk approximate test.
