"The second flight test of a fully integrated Starship is set to launch
Saturday, November 18. A twenty-minute launch window opens at 7:00 a.m. CT."

Will all the engines stay lit? Will the stages separate and the
Starship reach escape velocity?

It mostly worked - the Starship made it into space and past FL (I
think) and then it said, "OK, that's it for today. We'll try the
landings next time. Boom and boom".

I watched a replay on youtube. I thought they said it was supposed to
return to earth somewhere north of Hawaii. Apparently they pushed the
self-destruct button so where it was when that happened is maybe
anyone's guess... until they start finding pieces.

If you put a potato in a microwave oven and press the pizza button, it
still comes out a potato. Works the same with choosing your gender.

That's my understanding, too - to go suborbital and land tail first in
the ocean.

I think they lost telemetry, but I don't know if humans pushed the
button, or if the computer did. In any event, they got the Starship
into space. Also AFAIK, this was the first attempt at hot staging
(separation) instead of pneumatic separation of the two stages.
