    Nice flight. The ship lost some tiles but else than that things went
    quite well.

    Congrats to SpaceX.

    There was some burnthrough on the flaps, though.

    Aft flaps only. That may be a consquence of the "energetic event" that
    damaged the aft skirt before the burn-through started.

    Also the SpaceX commentator said, often, that they were intentionally stressing the ship. How far outside the nominal envelope the stresses
    went was not stated.
