I love that the video is extremely positive towards Starship and getting humans to Mars. It is also the first "popular" video I´m aware of which gets the negative lift approach and the belly flop right.
However one major part of the video is completely wrong.
Starship will not slow down via its engines prior to hitting the martian atmosphere for aerobraking. It will hit the atmosphere at interplanetary velocity.
The erroneous idea that spacecraft intended to land on Mars have to slow down before aerobraking has emerged on the internet in the recent months. And I don't know why.
All the rovers NASA has send to Mars in the last 20 years didn't slow down before aerobraking. They slammed into the atmosphere and used their heat shields to slow down until they were slow enough to deploy parachutes or execute their landing burns.

This post is intended to clear up this misconception and maybe generate a bit of publicity for how EDL (entry decent landing) actually works for spacecraft.

Just like landings have become routine, it appears manned dragon launches are boring now too. There are news articles but buried at the bottom of pages. No one here is discussing it and honestly not even much in the main sub either. Just thought it was curious!
