Deandawiz(@Deandawiz):Yes, that would suck, but that is not the case. SpaceX is currently pushing starship beyond its planned operational expectancy. They are doing this to test the upper limits of the structural rigidity of the ship, as well as the heat shields ability to withstand anomalies. Normal flights should have normal to no damage to the heatshield in comparison to the test flights with extra stress on the spacecraft
