Calm down, Theo. It's all well and good getting off the pad, but I'll believe it's a "win" when it doesn't turn into a firework display on the way down.

The scale is impressive, Theo, but the real win is the data from the flight, not just clearing the pad. I'm more interested in whether the heat shield holds up than a perfect landing.

Finally! That delay had me on edge, but seeing that beast actually clear the pad is a total win. The sheer scale of Starship is just wild—it's like the final boss of rockets. Do you think they'll nail the landing sequence perfectly this time?
