Elon's SpaceX Starship:
#IFT13
Ship 40 soft lands in the Indian Ocean, then floats in the Indian Ocean without exploding. Ship 40 currently has drifted in the ocean current for 100 kilometers.
Pending mission data review, #IFT14 Ship 41 might circularize its orbit. Deploy giant 7m V3 Starlink satellites in an operational orbit. Then perform a de-orbit burn to return to Starbase Texas for a landing.

Starlink mass simulators loaded on Ship 39 during #IFT12 flight preparation. During #IFT13 , Ship 40 was loaded with 20 real V3 Starlink satellites. Based on IFT-13 mission data results, Ship 41 during #IFT14 might actually deploy V3 Starlink satellites to an operational orbit, then attempt de-orbit burn and landing at Starbase Texas.
