STURDY, TOO:

Something made obvious by this photo is how light Starship is

It needs to be, of course, because the lighter the ship the less fuel needed to lift it and more to spare for cargo

But it almost looks like it is just sitting on the surface

It’s weight equals that of the water it… https://t.co/Q84O38UOpI pic.twitter.com/7UkbzRS8nV

And even more pics:

This is fantastic, it's not only an engineering marvel that it flew, but a maritime marvel that they got it back to land from where it splashed down. Bravo to everyone involved! https://t.co/OSZUGijP83
