Thanks Glen for the detailed report
Apollo Saturn 5 had issues with all their tanks too , in particular the size, type and gauge of material, welding techniques , venting and pressure control and many other issues. Took them 6 months to sort it out on the ground and 2 unmanned flights ( Apollo 4 and 5 to prove their reliability )
Starship is a completely different vehicle to Saturn 5 and one would assume more complicated in design , manufacturing and construction
They will eventually sort it out at the expense of time and money ( we all hope )
