According to the squad of uninvolved people who track the activities,
Starship has explosive FTS. Likely that the state of it was unknown
after the success of the LTS.

might have survived the blow up and fire.

There was a fire going on when it landed.
The first thing I thought after the boom was the demonstration by our
science teacher in high school. He took a metal coffee can, with a hole in
the side and another one in the lid, and used the side hole to fill it with
gas from the bunsen burner tap. He then lit the gas at the top hole, and it
burned with a peaceful little blue flame for a couple of minutes....
.. and then blew up, with the lid bouncing off the ceiling. It looks like
this is what happened to the rocket.

I wonder if there'd be anything in the wreckage which could still
explode after a general kaboom like that, and would thus justify robot
inspection. (Helium tank? Lithium batteries?)
Anyway, maybe they'll equip that dog so that if it detects a fire it
can lift a rear leg and put it out.
