How will Starship's re-entry tiles handle metal-expansion?
From my limited understanding, the heat-dissipating re-entry tiles will be bonded to a steel hull. That hull will be cryo-cooled by the fuel on liftoff, and will then heat up to something on the order of 900°C during re-entry. Since steel expands when heated, wouldn't that expose gaps between the tiles? Is this an issue, and if so, how is it addressed in the design?

NASA may ask SpaceX to extend duration of Crew Dragon test flight
NASA astronauts Bob Behnken and Doug Hurley may spend more time on the International Space Station than originally planned when they ride SpaceX’s new human-rated Dragon spacecraft into orbit on its first crewed test flight, a space agency official said Friday.

Why NASA's Annoyed About Elon Musk's Giant Rocket
SpaceX has never flown a person into space in its first spacecraft, the Crew Dragon. But already Musk is showing off his big, shiny Starship — and NASA is bristling.

I can confirm that SpaceX currently plans to launch SAOCOM 1B from Cape Canaveral instead of Vandenberg. This will be the first use of the southern polar corridor to reach orbit from the Cape since 1960.

Should SpaceX Hold Off Mars Missions for "Planetary Protection"?
The article published on Space Flight Now: https://www.space.com/elon-musk-starship-threatens-alien-life.html advocates holding off human mars missions to protect possible microbiological life on Mars....The author concludes in the closing paragraph " Regardless of the thrill and feelings of hope this kind of adventure brings, just because we can do something, doesn't mean we necessarily should, now or in the future. "While the article has valid points, I think the article misses the main point in going to Mars....it is not the "thrill and feelings of hope".....it is for "human spices protection"....in case Earth ....runs into big trouble.Yes human migration has caused death and environmental disruption over thousands of years of human existence. Yes reasonable precautions make sense but to think freezing things as they are now is the answer .... falls way short.Thoughts
