lol, how is the audio annoying? Those are literally the engineers who worked on this, one of the most difficult engineering problems in human history, having nailed it on their first try.
If you want pure rocket audio, look into cosmic perspective after a few weeks.
Their first try?
The first time they tried to catch with the chopsticks, it workes without blowing up the whole launchpad.
When they did this with the Falcon 9, it took several flights to get a landing without significant damage to the drone ship, the booster, or both.
Pretty impressive that they got it to work right out of the gate with the Super Heavy Booster
Well, this time around, even though a different mechanism was used, they had all the Falcon experience to draw from, which shortens development.
