> Will starship land with enough fuel to take off and return to friendly territory? No. If you want it back, you land at a friendly base. The nominal use would not likely to be for insertion but logistics, like a really fast C-17. It's intended to be quite cheap to build, however, so it's not impossible that it could be used one way (in a very high-value operation.) > Can starship land in Earth like gravity on a standard concrete area? Yes. They're doing that right now. Taking off from a flat pad, however, is unlikely, at least in current configuration. A "tactical" version with pre-main-ignition "hop" engines, like planned for the lunar lander version, might allow such ops (providing you can provide large quantities of liquid methane and oxygen on site!)
