Also important to note that this is Starship Serial Number 8. If it has an "accident" it's good to know that there is actually a Starship SN9 that has just been completed at the manufacturing base a couple km from the launch site, standing by to take its place and try again. Then there are two more vehicles abou 50% done - just join the tanks and add the pointy part in the front. And parts have been spotted assigned up to SN16! So this is really no ordinary space program where you prepare for years to launch a single super expensive rocket and then deliberate for months or years what went wrong and how to fix it. No, they built the best rocket engine ever, attach it to glamurous 50s SF rocket built from stainless steel (and random Falcon 9/Dragon/Tesla parts) in a marsh and then launch and make more until it can go to space cheaply and reliably.
