| I am just going to say this once, because it no longer matters... At the beginning SpaceX wanted to land their capsule on the ground with rockets. NASA threw a hissy fit and insisted it land on sea. When they used 3 parachutes to land at sea NASA's giggly men insisted on 4. Each change with a redesign period with a dunking in salt water that rots everything. NASA is letting Boeing Land on Land (although it is desert land) on a bunch of air bags. But, no SpaceX must drown in the ocean. Why do you think the Starship will land on a surface and has no escape systems? Maybe SpaceX got fed up with NASA and regulations? This capsule blew up after a dunking in the ocean. Something that would have never happened without the NASA insistence that they land and wallow in the salt water. Then if they could relaunch.
