My biggest concern is loss of heat shield tiles on the StarShip during launch and reentry.. tremendous vibration and forces will occur when Booster4's monstrous array of Raptors ignite!

The upcoming launch of StarShip + Booster4 = nearly 400 FT. TALL ROCKET! This will be an amazing moment in history I WILL ABSOLUTELY NOT MISS.

Even if StarShip burns up on reentry, just getting this COMBO BEHEMOTH OFF THE PAD will be an unrivaled accomplishment in and of itself.

GOD SPEED, SPACEX!

Is it JUST ME or does anyone else also have concerns that StarShip might prematurely separate from the Booster due to forces occurring during launch or during ascension?

Megazilla, Chopsticks, StarShip-20, Booster-4, etc.. I've been keeping up with it all and it's truly mind-boggling the speed with which SpaceX works. PROPS TO ELON!

Also, StarShip-20 will land in the ocean off the coast of Hawaii, but I'm assuming Booster-4 will also do an ocean landing near the Gulf, right?

If it were anyone else doing it, I would. :^) The early boost phase after launch should be loud enough to be heard for perhaps a few hundred miles. Won't be as loud as the Saturn V.
