So I can't write you an exact reason why that's better because it's not my thing.
But I can tell you from watching the footage where they staged, once they reached the suborbital height they were going to, it was a rough split.
It didn't go where they wanted it to do.
It kind of ripped away.
the booster from Starship and tore up a bunch of stuff in the process.
My understanding on this particular revision of Starship is they have fixed a bunch of that.
They've changed a whole bunch of the way the engines work.
They've refined a lot of the things that caused problems last time.
This particular flight will have a complete heat shield, so there's no deliberately faulty tiles.
They're going for full simulation
of trying to bring the thing back without any damage to see how it does.
My understanding is they've painted some of the tiles different colors to see how they'll react, but there's no deliberate failure points that they've introduced into this version.
The perfect mission, my understanding, is successful, uneventful liftoff, reach suborbital height, separate.
deploy these Starlink satellites.
This time, they're not simulators.
This time, they're real.
They've got 20, if I understand correctly, 20 Starlink V3 satellites, which is the first true practical mission that Starship will have, is to put these third-generation satellites in orbit.
They're too large for any existing
to carry to space.
This is the first ship that can do that, using the PEZ dispenser, as they call it, to eject them once it gets up there.
