The flaps that suffered burn through will be pushed more to the leeward on Block2 Starships. This gives them more control authority, and gets them out of the region of highest heating.

This was such a practical showing of reusability it will reshape what engineers think is viable with the catching of the booster on the same pad it had launched from.
Elon’s stated longer term objective, which was curtailed to get the current super heavy booster, was for an 18 meter diameter not the current 9 meter diameter booster with the lengths of both the booster and Starship doubling. With cross area increasing with the square of the radius going from 9 meters to 18 meters diameter increase the area by 4 times and doubling the length doubles that to eight times the current volume of the current Starship launch system.
That 8 times large volume Starship will allow a full naval ship’s complement of crew with a doctor, assistant and some dental emergency care. Elon has made it clear he wants much larger rocket main engine system when proceeding to the larger Starship launch system. Having to deal with 8 X 33 = 264 Raptor engines is possible, but he doesn’t want to have hundreds of rocket engines.

Sweet. Soon the billionaires will be heading to Mars, just before Climate Change really kicks in. I bet all the Trump Trust Fund Kiddies have their tickets already.

Why to out yourself as a moron. The guy who did this is also the guy who, by far, did the most to combat climate change. But you probably drive a gas car.

Mars has a much harsher environment to live in. Books are a good thing.

So that tower is almost 450 feet tall and that thing its arms caught plummeting from the sky is as tall as a 22 story building.
