Expand You do realize starship v3 is larger than v2, right? One thing I haven't been able to figure out is whether the fins on Themis are retractable or not. The video shows long, high aspect ratio fins, but it seems like that would be the worst setup based on my knowledge of supersonic aerodynamics.

Expand To be fair, payload capacity on v3 is 2/3 of v2 on initial versions (100t vs 150t), but that should improve in v3.1 which will have vacuum engines.
