View of Starship landing burn and splashdown on Flight 10, made possible by SpaceX’s recovery team. Starship made it through reentry with intentionally missing tiles, completed maneuvers to intentionally stress its flaps, had visible damage to its aft skirt and flaps, and still executed a flip and landing burn that placed it approximately 3 meters from its targeted splashdown point

Amazing, and a big takeaway is that having cameras in this area shows it was on target.

It looks like SpaceX intentionally coated the tiles with something that would oxidize orange during reentry. That way they can get a visual heat map of the hot spots as it reenters. Can’t put a million sensors or a camera there, so this may be what they did.

MSM - “Why did that ship miss the landing by 10 feet? Space X will never make it to Mars. Better that government money be sent to more NGO’s.” Every other human on earth - “Holy shxt, they stuck the landing!!! When is the next launch, when!? when!? Next week??”

To say this was incredible is a major understatement. Halfway around the world and you hit the target within 3 meters with a vehicle whose aerodynamic characteristics must have been at least a little different than planned as a result of the flap damage. All of us with engineering degrees salute you and stand in awe of your accomplishments,

I love that SpaceX makes a real effort to film everything and make it public.

I believe we are going to have a reusable Starship soon (actually, there will be hundreds!)
