They doing a catch with this booster?

This site says "Booster 19 is expected to attempt a chopstick catch at the Starbase launch tower after stage separation, as has become standard procedure for Super Heavy."

I'm not sure this has been confirmed by SpaceX yet. Someone let me know, I really hope they go for it!

Edit: SpaceX says the booster will land in the Gulf of Mexico this flight

I was just reading Feynman's report on the Challenger disaster and I was depressed AF. This is exactly what I needed. Down with launch fever and solid fuel boosters.
