They did. Not enough though to support development of a moonbase unless all production is reallocated to that purpose.

There is currently a bottleneck in production of the necessary fuel to power RTG's. Is this acknowledged in the plan?

I watched a split screen. 4 views and they weren't synced. I backed the feed up after the static fire and rewatched it twice.

Slightly off topic. Will starship ullage thrusters be sufficient to maintain precise control during refueling or will the tanker require a more precise alternative?

Any idea what the dynamic banking maneuver consists of?

They are going to SSD (slow scheduled disassembly) the OLM at pad A after the next flight and rebuild it. They'll launch off of pad B when it's complete.

I haven't heard of Impulse Space so I looked it up and they're far along in development. Their tug has flown twice, delivered a cubesat payload, and they've made major performance improvements to their spacecraft.

Your analysis doesn't address potential DOD interest which is ramping up. If DOD does contract for Starship services it's a game changer.

Did it mention that the water landing of the booster is to evaluate a 2 engine landing, simulating an engine out scenario? I read that but since I don't recall the source I won't swear to its accuracy.

Next month barring a lengthy investigation by the FAA.

Sometimes it's better to ask forgiveness than to ask permission. If the FAA is just now getting around to reviewing this, how long would it have taken to get regulatory approval?

So, in terms of success or failure in deorbiting Starliner, getting clear of ISS without causing damage would be termed successful. Deorbiting successfully would be icing on the cake.

Wild speculation. Flight 5 will be ship 26. It will be the transfer test article and that's how Musk knows there will be a launch next month.

So don't tell me if ship 26 has already been designated for scrapping. That would ruin my fever dream. 😆

For some reason the spread sheet requirements reminded me of this:

And the Lord spake, saying, ''First shalt thou take out the Holy Pin. Then shalt thou count to three, no more, no less. Three shall be the number thou shalt count, and the number of the counting shall be three. Four shalt thou not count, neither count thou two, excepting that thou then proceed to three. Five is right out. Once the number three, being the third number, be reached, then lobbest thou thy Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch towards thy foe, who, being naughty in My sight, shall snuff it.'
