I wonder if they'll use the belly-flop maneuver to land the astronauts back on Earth, or if the astronauts will depart the ship in a more traditional capsule and land separately from the Starship?

I guess they have quite a while to figure out the details, and if the belly flop maneuver isn't deemed to be safe enough by the time the mission is ready, it shouldn't be that big a deal to take a more conservative approach.
