I know they wouldn't have helped with today's landing, but I wonder if they'll beef up the landing legs on Starship a little.

Supposedly there will be significant design changes starting with SN15. Musk has also said the current legs are just "demonstrator". Watching the landing at 1/4 speed, it does not look like the legs extended for this.

They are also definitely down to only one engine firing at landing, after relighting 2.
