The design of the Heat Shield for the Largest Spacecraft ever built

This how SpaceX designed a heat shield for the largest spacecraft ever built.

For the first time we saw the fully assembled Starship/SuperHeavy stack assembled on the pad. This is all designed to put Starship, the largest spacecraft ever built, into orbit, but we also got a really good look at a near complete thermal protection system, and that’s critical to bringing the Starship back from orbit safely.
