Four years progress.

Just four years ago, a spectacular crash of a Starship prototype with only 3 engines....up, hover, bellyflop, flip...and almost nailed the landing. (Low fuel tank pressure led to an "engine-rich burn" and a "lithobraking" landing.)

Now they're flying a 39-engine booster/starship and catching the booster on chopsticks.

Four years.
