I don't care about space or science until I don't need to worry about money anymore. Sick of bills and finances. Literally could not care less about anything until I'm free from needing to work 40 to 60 hours a week to only earn enough to survive.

BTW , this was NOT ice. At some point a lot of black-brown chunks were falling from the top part of the ship , behind the camera

Yeah because it was going the wrong way in the airstream.
It's obviously not tile material either. Wonder where on the Ship they have that kinda brown yellowish foam.

The heatshield isn't just the tiles, there is a heat-resistant fabric they put on first, then the tiles over it. I assume that is what it is

You're a retard then. The fabric is white not yellow and doesn't come in chunks either.

It's wild to think that an Electron actually has enough performance to deliver an astronaut in a spacesuit to the ISS

Tallest pad stack to reach orbit:
Saturn V => Starship
Biggest spacecraft in orbit:
Shuttle => Starship
Best video from an orbital stage:
Falcon Heavy => Starship
Largest operational rocket in the world:
SLS => Starship

At some point it was upside down but i think belly down its his natural position because of the mass shift of the tiles , just like cats always end up on their feet after falling

Prolonged exposure to 5000 degrees fahrenheit may change these two properties

If the air was that hot it would glow which it certainly wasn't doing at that point.
I think there's some insulation between the forward flaps and the ship that might be the source and it became dislodged by the first flap movements.
It isn't heat shield material.

It's more realistic at this point to expect a Trump visit to the moon than Starship.
