They don’t seem to mention how to get off the ground again after such a landing.
If that requires building a launch platform and/or shipping in a first stage, or moving the vehicle out over ground towards a launch facility, such landings will be expensive (even can end up being one way trips), making them economical for very few jobs.
- numpad0 2y agoThe punchline is "from many location to any location". They're not saying they can launch from any location. What it likely means is they can offer towing for a broken satellite back to any secret hangars in Nevada, and deposit returned for intact tow vehicles. I do wonder what it is even possibly useful for. Asset transport from orbit sounds sci-fi.
