AFAIK the Superheavy booster can't land on it's own and was never designed to. It needs (currently) the launch gantry to catch it in all the preview footage.
It's always struck me as a very risky gamble on SpaceX's part to do that because you're risking your whole launch infrastructure if something goes wrong in those last seconds.
Yeah, it's mindblowing and seems reckless. Then again, they seem incredibly competent at everything they've done so far. It will certainly be a spectacle when/if they can pull it off!
