Heat shield looks good too

It's not a Starship anymore... just a Ship

Do they have a recovery ship in the area?

Is it gonna blow up or do they keep it?

The longer it lives... the more views of the heat shield SpaceX gets... which is extremely, unexpectedly good data & observations

Not for Starship... no
It needs to blow up or sink

Everyday Astronaut said they might literally have to shoot it to get it to explode.

Ship ready for prime time. Booster still needs some work

I don't think SpaceX has a vehicle that can retrieve it... none of their droneships can handle Starship's size
It's got to either blow up or sink

Yeah but they send out a ship with the crew that sets out the bouys and loiters to watch the landing. I wonder it could tow it

Having watched the documentary SpaceX put out after Flight 12... the ship they're on doesn't seem to have the towing capacity either
