Will that alone cause an incident report and investigation? It landed in the right spot technically

Up to the FAA

The last 1 did... but that 1 had many more issues

The investigations are pretty quick these days. Even if there is an investigation I doubt it will delay the next launch.

Yep, the moment they start putting v3s in orbit these are revenue generating flights

Looks like they’ve got that Pez dispenser figure out. They seemed to come out a bit faster this time.

The real Starlinks have like 20 minutes to get solar panels out & lasers up to connect to Starlink network before they start burning up in Earth's atmosphere

Disregard. When you said landfall I thought you mean it was actually landing Namibia

Starship did a lot better on the landing than the booster.

Based on that booster going on that hard, they might be throwing them in the gulf 2-3 more times before catching.
