Smooth sailing all around, night and day compared to the first Block 2s.
If this (troublesome) Block is remembered for anything, it’ll be:
* Refining the aerodynamic profile of the Ship
* Stress testing the heat shield
* Successful relights & mock payload deployments
* Painful toothing issues
Hopefully Block 3 is the first to be fully operational (edit: in expendable/semi-expendable configuration), as well as the first to trial Ship catch & fuel transfer. Gradually getting closer to the dream, even if it’s still a ways off.

Amazing flight, pretty much no major issues! I hope V3 can continue this success streak!

Wow, what a big improvement, even over the last flight which was nearly perfect. Seems like they made a major advancement with the heatshield. It held up great!

A great sendoff for Block 2; it went about as well as planned. No doubt there’ll be teething issues with Block 3, but Starship has now demonstrated enough capability to make it a viable path, IMO.
