This is only the second time that we're testing Starlink during re entry.

Re entry is going to be a really critical phase of flight. We really want to know how the ship's going to perform, especially that heat shield as we're going through the hypersonic re entry. We hope to maintain these views throughout. We're still learning about what that wake will actually look like in practice and whether we're able to get that.

Starship is currently re entering Earth 's atmosphere.

The atmosphere is actually doing us a huge favor here by acting as a braking system for Starship as it reenters the atmosphere.

There are 18,000 hexagonal heat Shields that are what's doing all the work on Starship right now.

We're not sure how far we're going to make it in our test flight.
