If it gets that far then I'd imagine that it would attempt to flip. Although I do think I recall something said about not doing a flip to ensure that there's nothing that needs to be recovered. This would mean they don't need recovery ships in the area.

When does the vehicle-type involved in the mishap return to flight? A return to flight operations of the vehicle type involved in the mishap is ultimately based on public safety. The operator plays a significant role in the process to return to operations and is responsible for submitting a final mishap investigation report to the FAA for review and approval that details needed corrective actions. All required corrective actions must be implemented prior to the next flight unless otherwise approved. Based on the nature of the corrective actions, the operator may be required to submit either a license modification request or a new license application. These actions may occur concurrently. In summary, the FAA will not allow a return to flight operations until it determines that any system, process, or procedure related to the mishap does not affect public safety or any other aspect of the operator’s license. This is standard practice for all mishap investigations.
I don't think Chuck has written that particular book yet, but it would seem to fit well into his "in the Butt" series. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chuck_Tingle there's no indication here that Scott Tingle is related to Chuck.
Happy to volunteer
Should we now be creating thread #47?
A bit late to the discussion here, but I'm all for this sub continuing to exist.
I'm willing to help moderate when it becomes necessary.
I'm happy to see any content that gets cloned from /r/SpaceX and from /r/SpaceXLounge. Anything that saves having to visit Reddit is a plus for me.
Previously I would read /r/SpaceXLounge which has a lot of quality content, and from /r/SpaceX just the Starship Development Thread. Almost everything else on /r/SpaceX is just photos and F9 launch threads which tend to be pretty dull.
A mix of the lounge and the Starship development thread is what I'm hoping for.
This is great work. Much appreciated.

Seems like perhaps a dozen fell off.
