Space X advised they initiated a termination on the booster approx 500m above sea level , so I suppose it did return to earth without a landing burn
As far as the ship goes , they have a long way to go before they nail a re entry, this vehicle is enormous and requires precise control through the atmosphere at orbital velocity with heat shield tiles intact . I did see chunks of debris flying off just prior to see the plasma glow around the vehicle, maybe heat tiles , who knows ?
All in all, a phenomenal test flight with 4K Starlink video
