​@JohnnyMotel99 Probably not. Space shuttle was able to return with missing tiles, but it generally depends on which tiles were missing. Obviously there was one mission where missing tiles caused loss of the orbiter, but keep in mind the ground team knew they were missing and thought the mission would be fine, because the occasional missing tile was usually no big deal. In early shuttle missions the lander would lose many tiles on every flight. Starship uses a stainless steel skin which is generally more heat resistant than the aluminum space shuttle frame, so I'd expect its ability to land with tile damage to be even higher. But obviously you'd rather not take the risk.

My favorite scenes are the slo-mo shock waves rippling through the steam. The booster FTS did not disappoint this time!

The rewatchability of this is insane. Everyone did an amazing job. The tracking shots are blowing my mind and the unique rotor visual shot was epic, I also appreciate the wide shot behind the pilot of the drone too. I didn't realize it would be able to track starship that long. The audio quality and syncing is great. Edit: didn't notice the outro songs timing with super heavies explosion the first time.

Avoiding the use of glue as much as possible should be a goal. The reason so many tiles need it is because the studs can't be welded over the section welds. The stacking is not accurate enough for the studs to overlap those weld lines. Maybe if robots could add studs after the ship is stacked? I hope they solve this. Also, testing each installed tile for its level of adhesion should be part of the installation process of every tile. They did that on S28, so I hope it will keep more of its tiles than S25 did.
