@Kire_ You say
Return a Starship to terra firma by 2026
but articles says
Return a Starship to terra firma (mid- to late 2025)
So I think you mean 'before' rather than 'by' on at least the first three items. Could you change to before or otherwise clarify whether it is 'by start of' or 'by end of' the periods in all of the answers?
@Kire_ this was done during flight 6 and can resolve YES: https://www.spacex.com/launches/mission/?missionId=starship-flight-6
