The Leaning Rocket of Boca Chica

SpaceX has successfully flown the SN5 Starship.  As the engine was not in the center of the cylinder, the ship leaned as it took flight and hovered in the air before landing a short distance from last year's flying wonder, the Star Hopper.  Impressive stuff.  Here is a clip of the brief but historic flight.  Can the Starship be ready in its final form by the next Mars launch window?  It will be exciting to find out.
