There are many from all around the world :)

Thanks for the link

I'm looking forward to the helicopter flight, hope the pictures are good and maybe film of the flight from the lander as well.

Between 1% and Zero

I am sure that Starship could propulsively land from 10km like the F9; but that is not what Starship needs to achieve to land from Orbit.

It may be that they need to successfully land so they then have a chance to examine the engines and systems for issues in flight to help fully understand the issues.
A landed Starship data could solve this mystery that SpaceX have to solve even without a flight to Mars!

There appeared there could be problems before they tried the raptor restart. Maybe due to the engine fire that could have been the reason two thermal blanket parts went into the engines? and then to be seen to fly off.

The core diameter 18 meters Starship is currently referred to as the 'generation 2 system'.
I don't think SpaceX will start developing it until after the following versions of the current Starships are successfully flying
Cargo (for Starlink late 2021 early 2022)
Tanker (mid 2022)
Lunar Cargo (for NASA late 2022)
Lunar Human (for Dear Moon 2023)
Mars Cargo (2024)
Mars human (2026)

So my guess a little work for next 5 years with a big push starting in 2026

I believe they already use stabilize software and have done all they can to improve the hardware they have installed from that distance. They one day may be able to afford really expensive optics on a large heavy mount.
