The catch of SpaceX Starship flight 7 had vastly improved efficiency.
Look at how much cleaner and perfect the Flight 7 catch was than the Flight 5 one! Congrats @spacex! pic.twitter.com/YlEVyHp4Ue

Looks nice.
Very nice. “Clean thrust” means a rocket engine combusts it’s fuel more “effectively hence more economically”. For a reusable rocket motor, more “efficient”, means less wear and tear on the parts. Critically important, if you don’t want to use a rocket engine once, and throw it away.
