OK they both belly flop, but Starship freefalls after entry then has to burn to turn itself vertically a few hundred meters before landing. Totally different beast from gliding to a runway.

I'm not even bringing up launch btw. I said it's the landing part that scares me, particularly in 1G and also Mars atmosphere. The Moon would be a walk in the park obviously.

People sure love the space shuttle. Even though it was kind of a failure.
