This is the first I’ve heard of this description of a separate crew module.
This sounds even crazier than the bellyflop-swivel-to-suicide-burn (BSTSB).
So the Starship system is some type of 3 piece mechanism? Where the 3rd piece is the human module?
And they’re going to land this with parachutes? Where? In the ocean?
Won’t this kill the reusability of the plan, for quick turn around time?
Granted, if the BSTSB is to only be used for transporting inorganic materials, like fuel, then G-forces does not matter for human usage.

Edit: Disregard this, it's wrong entirely.
This suicide burn is just to try to recover the rocket to save money.
