The increase in Starlink satellite deployment using Starship is going to be huge.

A perfect performance. I wish it would have been scheduled for a catch.


Not to be "that guy", but it wasn't perfect. They had an engine failure 30 or 60 seconds after launch.

Right. It was great to see them able to successfully deploy a payload.

Showing it can do job with an engine out is a good sign

It's happened before so they've already proved it out unplanned, but it's good to see consistency. It wasn't a fluke last time.

The fact that booster & ship have both performed all the planned tests is an amazing step forward from the last few flights

If they can somehow recover this ship, the data gained would be enormous. I know there are support ships in the general planned splashdown area. Buoy cam shots too.
