Watching pieces of the ship melt off, but then seeing it make a relatively controlled landing, is perversely confidence building. If it can survive that kind of damage on a control surface maybe it's a quite robust craft.

#93Incredible. And still, the guy who makes things possible again and again gets a lot of poison thrown his way. Human nature at work. On both sides.
How about the other 10K+ people who did the actual work to make this happen? Or is it all about that one guy? :)

#94What the hell, half melted starship actually did the landing flip and hit the ocean slow!!! That was amazing!
Absolutely wild and historic.

Wait for the so called "mainstream media" headlines: Another Starship lost after falling into the Indian Ocean

#98The ocean landing is so cool. I believe they said that the next one they are going to try to land back at the tower? Seems plausible now.
I think that might be a second IFT away personally: I imagine they'd like to see no engine relight issues on descent for at least one more mission first, since slamming it into Starbase would be a shame.
