Another happy landing. I can't believe starship managed to land gently after burning half the flap off!

Wow, that's even more impressive then - they added a defect and a different problem occurred and it still landed. I caught some of the stream and heard the SpaceX audience's reaction to that fin burning away - I thought they sounded more excited than worried.
