It's a long way off and they didn't test the most difficult part: reentry
I'm a bit skeptical over how much they tested those little tiles. Even if we've gone a far since the Shuttle's ridiculously costly tiles I'm going to want to see those work at least once.

Someone is going to jump on you and tell you it's not the same tiles, different tech, whatever.
What I wonder is if those tiles are so good, why aren't all other return capsule equipped with similar stuff.

I guess no one care until the Starship actually test reentry but I'd thing it would attract far more discussion with scientific feedback saying "yes it's already tested".
If it was posted before I missed it, it's like everyone just assume those work perfectly.
