Elon:

"Successful ocean landing of Starship!

We will do one more ocean landing of the ship. If that goes well, then SpaceX will attempt to catch the ship with the tower."

Does this mean flying over populated land to attempt the catch?

I believe so, yes. Obviously it will be a different permit, and who knows how long that will take to be granted.

Engine relight and controlled precise landings are obviously per-requisites, which is why they've been doing them.
