    I don’t know why I had so much optimism for the project before this flight, even expecting potential multiple failure, then when flight 3 happened I felt less optimistic (emotionally) eventhough it was pretty successful. I dont know why. Reading over this seems to have raised my optimism.

    Nothing seems unfixable. The booster needs a bit more control coming down which could be simple software. The ship needs a bit more control in space. Neither of those sound problematic (long term) at all. Also the door might not have worked but I’m sure a space company can fix a door.

    Is anyone worried about the shape of starship on reentry being unstable? Reentry capsules self correct aerodynamically, but starship didn’t seem to correct itself and made me a bit worried.
