I have a question. For IFT4 they didn't circularise the orbit and with perigee below ground they didn't have to do a reentry burn with the vacuum engines. However, IFT5 or later they will use the Rvac engines for circularise also reentry burns, but starship doesn't have Ullage motors so how will they settle the propellant before raptor ignition?
