I do anticipate issues with having starship land on the moon. The surface is a very fine powdery substance. Do we know the ground isn't going to collapse under the weight of the starship even in the reduced gravity of the moon? Starship falling over would be a pretty big issue. Is the thrust required to land going to furrow out a hole just like when starship's first launch? I know they will be using far less thrust but it's, still way more than apollo needed. I'm concerned landing it may ultimately be impossible simply because by the time you have slowed down you no longer have a flat place to land.

[@young0cidy]

The moon landing version have thruster placed way up in the ship to avoid the issue you mentioned. When you look at the 3D model there is a hole in the mid section these are for the supwr draco engine special for the landing phase on the moon.

So now, "Somebody" finally woke up and realized that NASA, as in of it's own, has the authority to issuing a flight license WITHOUT dealing with the FAA and all their beurocratic bullshit. After dealing with the FAA, and finding the same unrealistic "Sticky-Spot" every time, it quickly became evident that there was an element in the FAA's orbit who were operating under the Political Left's "Fuzzy Little Feelings" policies, that needed to be forever thwarted, of which NASA and SpaceX solidly agreed upon. SpaceX has proven that all the needed requirements were done via the FAA authority and rules, so the FAA's no longer relevant within the U.S.'s "Previously Passed", "ONGOING" Space craft(s) and Program(s). . . . How many auto companies need each and every vehicle they manufacture to be put through such unique and individual scrutiny as SpaceX has been?
