Make a controlled landing.
That's at least 34 Raptor engines going in the drink. 31 on the booster and 3 vac version on Starship.
It's cool, too, that the booster and Starship are not mechanically connected. Starship simply sits on top of the booster and it will separate as the booster loses velocity and the r-vac engines kick in.
