Space X Starship IFT-4 going on now (and other Space News)
Go to solution
Solved by Uttamattamakin,
Starship had a more or less successful flight test. There was serious heat shield failure but not so bad that the craft was lost. As @manikyath noted it was able to refire engines, hover, as if it was going to be caught by Mechazilla and then splashed into the ocean. Since the parts it was going to be caught by had burned on the way in this would've been a very hairy situation. A hypothetical crew could have survived to tell the tale which for future manned missions is what would matter most.
Lets see if Starliner can rendevouz and dock with ISS given it has some issues?
