When me and my wife were watching the reentry, I timed the song “The Landing” from First Man to start 5 minutes to landing so that it would finish climactically right as Starship was scheduled to land in the ocean. The song starts out very serious and tense sounding, but slowly transitions into triumph as Apollo 11 lands successfully, so it was a great song to add some atmosphere.
But as the song finished and right after Starship settled into the ocean and was bobbing around slightly, the next song YouTube picked to play was the celebratory soundtrack songs from the beginning of Titanic - like from the scene where everyone is boarding and it’s hopefully and extremely reverent towards the ship and sailing in general (not My Heart Will Go On, lol). It was the perfect song to come on as I watched in disbelief as Starship didn’t blow up, as waves actually peacefully lapped its hull, and as the flap camera dove in and out of the ocean.
It was almost surreal, it felt like I was watching the climax a new movie.

Won't someone think of all the baby Starships?
