It looks like they started atmospheric interface, but I’m not sure.

People need to remember that Starship is still in test flight mode. The whole purpose of this is to test to the point of failure. In fact, failures in this phase are expected as this is how you learn.
I think the Starship program is going to do incredible things once it gets out of the test phase.

I still find it utterly amazing that we’re able to see the plasma shroud LIVE during reentry.

Mission control says flaps have control of the vehicle. Waiting to start seeing sparks and stuff flying off this thing.

Amazing to see the live cameras on Starship, by way of Starlink.
