Didn't they successfully land a Starship last week?

A smaller prototype, yes, although it didn't reach orbit first. Still impressive, to say the least.

This was not a smaller prototype. It was a full-size Starship. Starship is the second stage of the full system. The first stage, Super Heavy, has not been tested yet.
