    Should this not worry spacex with heat tiles just falling off, I am an engineer and am sure they can come up with a better solution the problem is not hard..the forces are known and duration.

    Ron, it was an absolute pleasure to meet you in my business, Copr Bar Swansea Wales. Hopefully I can catch you stateside when I’m out there visiting my daughter and if you need any help with your Son’s potential move to Swansea just let us know! Have subscribed and will watch your work. Cheers mate.

    Thanks, my pleasure to meet you and see your awesome place. I have a new main hang in Swansea. I have been enjoying your books. We will have a lot to talk about when we meet again. Swansea is a very special place. I am at Starbase now getting ready for the launch of Starship 29. It should launch between 1 and one 2 pm your time. It can be sent live at SpaceX on X or the Everyday astronaut,WAI , or NSF on KZread.

    Likely from one of the suborbital vehicles, based on where you found it. This is a bracket that goes underneath the slosh baffles within the Starship's tanks

    Are you sure that this is from S25 and not S24? Because S25 exploded more than 8 minutes into the flight so it was quite far away. But if it really is from S25 than the sad thing is, that it fell off so early and so close to the shore.
