That's no good for Starship, which is meant to land with passengers and hardware on board.


Yeah, which is why they're making Starship better than the Falcon 9 in being able to land safely even when things go wrong (i.e. Starship can throttle down enough to hover). They're still in the early prototyping stages. You can't judge potential long-term reliability based solely on what we've seen so far.
