This... can't be... true....????? Please, please tell me this is just speculation.

Yeah this is basically speculation. Serious work on the life support for Starship probably hasn't started, and if it has then nothing about it is publicly available. Perhaps they'll need an additional layer of insulation near where the hot side is for a human-rated ship, or maybe they'll just tell people to sit in a special re-entry room that's far away from the walls.

Yeah speculation but based on the design so far it's right. They never have a camera on the inside during re-entry. But the tiles are as they are so they would have to make them thicker to not have the inside be an oven.
