Evidently the joints on the flaps still need a little work into not letting gases through, but it seemed to still have enough actuation to keep the spacecraft stable until the engines took over for the landing burn.

    Honestly, I started laughing my head off when I saw that ragged flap still moving and the Starship still maintaining attitude control with it. That’s the sort of battle damage I expect to see in a science fiction show, I wasn’t expecting SpaceX to bring that sort of thing into the real world too.
