Starship 2nd launch

I have to confess that I completely forgot about the launch but plenty of videos and articles to catch up on:

Marcus House did post a nice commented video on the launch today, the day after:

Listening to the actual Spacex commentators on videos of the Spacex live feed it was like: are you guys actually watching this or are you reading from a script ??   Marcus' commentary does a good job explaining what happened.

Ars Technica had some really neat pictures:

the hot-staging looks like something from a movie

As Marcus House pointed out, the Starship 2nd stage had quite a few heat shield tiles fall off at the start of the launch.  And we know from the Shuttle that those tiles are really important !
