I don't think anyone expected starship to be this strong. Another soft splashdown despite removing tiles and trying to find its limit.

Booster did a water landing as well. Something was off so it didn't try the catch. Maybe a radio on the tower got a bit bent from launch.

The banana theme was fun for this launch. Wonder what they will go with next.

Cool. So it'll come in over mexico which should have been obvious to me. I don't know why I assumed Texas.

Flight 6 showed what it'd do in an abort. Tip the nose forward and glide out into the gulf. Or it'll do a 180 spin while falling and use the glid to get back to the pad. Ship would need to be spun again before stacking but might be safer during testing. Not sure which direction cooks the launch tower the least.
