re: SpaceX Starship Flight Test 3 | B10 crashes in Gulf, S28 burns up during reentry

flight path remains the same as the previous 2 flights... launch from Starbase/Boca Chica, Texas out into the Gulf of Mexico, where Booster will separate from Starship thanks to the hot-staging maneuver and make a soft landing in the Gulf with some of its engines firing... it will then tip over, all valves will open to allow seawater in to sink it and allow it to become a new coral reef

Starship will continue on and split the strait between Florida & Cuba and head around the globe with reentry over the Pacific Ocean and a belly flop crash landing at terminal velocity in the Pacific near Hawaii.

From what I understand this flight path has them landing in the Indian Ocean instead of splashing down off the coast of Hawaii.
