[i]If we get past a successful stage separation and a full ascent burn with the upper stage, it will be at an altitude and trajectory below orbital — meaning Starship won't have to fire its Raptor engines for a deorbit burn and it will naturally come back into the atmosphere no matter what.[/i]
[i]It's important to note that what we'll attempt today is not a burn required for Starship to reenter on today's test. We are intentionally flying this new steeper trajectory so we can test things like engine re-light without substantially changing where we expect to splashdown.[/i]
