That thing ain't landing vertically on the moon anyhow. Look at what Neil had to do to find a remotely flat spot to put a much smaller ship down.


Yes but we now have very detailed topographical maps of the moon, and the GNC systems are way better. I expect they will carefully choose the exact landing spot and hit it within 10m or so. Certainly it lacks the heroism of eyeballing a good place to set down with 60 seconds of gas in the tank.


Musk never does it right the first time, second time and maybe the third time. Not going to happen
