Flight 4 ended with Starship igniting its three center Raptor engines and executing the first flip maneuver and landing burn since our suborbital campaign, followed by a soft splashdown of the ship in the Indian Ocean one hour and six minutes after launch.

I still can't believe that happened! Gives me so much confidence on their in-space propellant storage too, for some reason.

I just wish we had a video of it!
